Weight Limitations
Yourpowerchair is ratedforamaximum weight capacity.Pleasereferto the specificationstableforthislimit.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal injury
and/or damage to your power chair. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property
damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your power chair. Carrying passengers on your power
chair may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
Tire Inflation
Ifyourpowerchairis equipped withpneumatictires,youshould check orhavetheair pressure checkedregularly.Proper
inflationpressureswillprolongthe life ofyourtiresandhelp ensure thesmoothoperationof your powerchair.
WARNING! It is important that 35 psi (2.4 bar) tire pressure be maintained in pneumatic tires at all
times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and
overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain 35 psi (2.4 bar) tire pressure in pneumatic tires at
all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to
your power chair.
WARNING! Inflate your power chair drive tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure
gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a
burst tire and/or personal injury.

WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline.
Drive your power chair straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall.
Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas covered
with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the power chair in freewheel
mode while seated on it or standing next to it. Doing so may result in personal injury and/or
damage to your power chair.
WARNING! Never travel down an incline backward. This may result in personal injury.

Figure 1. Maximum Safe Slope (Ascending and Descending)
WARNING! Even though your power chair is capable of climbing slopes greater than those illustrated in
figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications pre-
sented inthis manual. Doingso couldcause instability inyourpowerchair, resulting inpersonalinjury and/
or damage to your power chair.
Incompliancewith theAmericans with DisabilitiesAct of1990,all handicappublic access rampsare requiredtohave a
maximumslopeof 5°(8.7%). Therefore, Priderecommends thatthemaximum slopeof an inclineyou attempttosafely
ascend or descend on your power chair does not exceed 5° (8.7%). See figure 1.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 5° (8.7%) may put your power
chair in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.
Braking Information

Cornering Information
Whileyour powerchair is equipped with casterwheels andanti-tip wheels, excessively high corneringspeeds canstill
createthe possibilityof tipping.Factors whichaffect the possibility of tippinginclude, butare notlimited to:cornering
speed,steeringangle (howsharplyyou areturning),uneven roadsurfaces, inclined roadsurfaces, riding froman areaof

a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your power chair
fromtipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. This greatly reduces the possibility of a
tip or fall. To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, always exercise common sense when
cornering.

II. SAFETY
Preventing Unintended Movement
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time,
turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent joystick contact. This
will also eliminate the possibility of unintended chair movement from electromagnetic (EM) sources.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
Removable Parts
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a power chair by any of its removable parts. Personal
injury and/or damage to the power chair may result.
Batteries
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For more
informationaboutyourpower chair’sbatteries,seeVI.“Batteriesand Charging.”
WARNING! Power chair batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to lift that
much weight, be sure to get help. Lifting beyond your capacity can result in personal injury.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging
a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can
have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.
Electromagneticand Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile two-way
radios(suchas walkie-talkies),radio stations,TV stations, amateurradio (HAM)transmitters, wireless computerlinks,
microwavesignals, paging transmitters, and medium-rangemobile transceivers usedby emergency vehicles. In some
cases,thesewavescan cause unintended movementordamagetothecontrolsystem.Everyelectrically-poweredmobility

producthas beentested andhas passedat animmunity levelof 20V/m.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, and other sources 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 power chair in any way
not authorized by Pride.
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself can disturb the performance of other
electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: For further information on EMI/RFI, visit the Resource Center on www.pridemobility.com. If unintended motion or
brake release occurs, turn your power chair off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call Pride at 800-424-8205 to report the incident.
