8 Basic Operation Instructions
Power Glide www.pridemobility.com
POWER GLIDE
The Power Glide is designed to assist an attendant when pushing an occu-
pied wheelchair up hills and ramps and over uneven ground.
WARNING! Do not operate the Power Glide when the
wheelchair is unoccupied.
WARNING! Ensure the on/off key is in the off position
before anyone transfers into or out of the wheelchair.
WARNING! Do not attempt to climb an incline without the
assistance of an attendant.
WARNING! Do not attempt to operate a wheelchair
equipped with a Power Glide outside of the safe limits as
recommended by the wheelchair manufacturer.
WARNING! Do not attempt to operate a wheelchair
equipped with a Power Glide on an incline or decline
greater than 2° (3.5%) without an attendant.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that
electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can have an
adverse effect on the performance of electrically-powered
mobility vehicle.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources
such as cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies),
radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless
computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range
mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves
can cause unintended movement or damage to the control system. Every
electrically-powered mobility vehicle has an immunity (or resistance) to
EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI.
This product has been tested and has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios,
laptops, and other types of radio transmitters may cause
unintended movement of your electrically-powered mobility
vehicle due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of
these items while operating your mobility vehicle and avoid
coming into close proximity of radio and TV stations.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to
the electrically-powered mobility vehicle can increase the
susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your
assistive device in any way not authorized by Pride.
