Weight Limitations
Yourpowerchairisratedforamaximumweightcapacity.Pleaserefertothespecificationstableforthislimit.
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
Ifyourpowerchairisequippedwithpneumatictires,youshouldcheckorhavetheairpressurecheckedatleastonceaweek.Proper
inflationpressureswillprolongthelifeofyourtiresandhelpensurethesmoothoperationofyourpowerchair.
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 backwards. This may result in personal injury.

Figure 1. Maximum Safe Angle (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 presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your power chair,
resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.
Incompliancewith theAmericanswith DisabilitiesActof 1990, allhandicap publicaccess rampsare required tohave a
maximumslope of 5°(8.7%).Therefore, Priderecommends thatthe maximum slopeof anincline youattempt tosafely
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.

Motor Vehicle Transport
Priderecommendsthatyou do notremainseatedin your powerchairwhiletraveling inamotorvehicle. The powerchair
shouldbe stowed inthe trunk of a car or inthe back ofa truck or van with the batteriesremoved and properlysecured.
WARNING! Do not sit on your power chair while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or
property damage may result.
WARNING! Always be sure your power chair and its batteries are properly secured when it is being
transported. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.
Positioning Belts

positioningbeltinordertooperateyourpowerchairsafely.
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your power chair, make sure it is
fastened securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the power chair.
WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is
your power chair suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone traveling in a vehicle should be
properly belted into seats approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
Inclement Weather Precautions
Exposureofyourpower chair toinclementweather conditions shouldbeavoidedwhenever possible.Ifsuddenlycaught
up in rain, snow, severe cold, or heat while operating your power chair proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity.
Thoroughlydryyourpowerchair beforestoring,charging,or operating yourpowerchair
WARNING! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy/slippery surfaces can
cause personal injury and/or damage to the power chair and electrical system. Maintain and
store your power chair in a dry and clean condition.
Reaching and Bending

onyour power chair, it isimportant to maintain astable center of gravityand keep the power chair from tipping. Pride
recommendsthat the power chair user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the
presenceofaqualifiedhealthcareprofessional.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by
reaching down between your knees. Movements such as these may change your center of gravity
and the weight distribution of the power chair. This may cause your power chair to tip, possibly
resulting in personal injury.
WARNING! Prevent personal injury! Keep your hands away from the tires when driving. Be aware
that loose fitting clothing can become caught in drive tires.
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.

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,thesewavescancauseunintendedmovement or damage tothecontrolsystem.Everyelectrically-poweredmobility

producthas beentested andhas passedat animmunity levelof 20V/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 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 unin-
tended motion or brake release occurs, turn your power chair off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call Pride at 800-
