II. SAFETY
Weight Limitations
Yourpowerchairisrated foramaximum weightcapacity.Pleaserefer tothespecifications tableforthis limit.
WARNING! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your power chair. Exceeding the weight
capacity voids your warranty. 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 affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.
Tire Inflation
Ifyour powerchairis equippedwithpneumatic tires,youshould checkorhave theairpressure checkedregularly.Proper
inflationpressures willprolongthe lifeofyour tiresandhelp ensurethesmooth operationofyour 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.
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.

!Takewideswings withyour powerchair’sfrontwheelsaroundany tightcorners. Ifyoudothat,thepowerchair’srear
wheelswill follow a widearc,notcut the corner short,andnotbump into or gethunguponany railing corners.
!When driving down a ramp, keep the power chair’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a
safelycontrolleddescent.
!Avoidsudden stops and starts.

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.
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! Never travel down an incline backward. Doing so may cause the power chair to tip.
Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! If your power chair is equipped with a reclining seatback, do not attempt to negotiate
inclines with the seat in a reclined position. Do not attempt to negotiate obstacles with the seat
in a reclined position unless an attendant is present to help stabilize the chair. Failure to heed
may result in the power chair tipping over.

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 presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your power chair.
Incompliance with theAmericanswithDisabilitiesActof 1990, all handicap publicaccessrampsare required to have a
maximumslope of 5° (8.7%).Therefore,Priderecommendsthat the maximum slopeofaninclineyou attempt to safely
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.

II. SAFETY
Batteries
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For more
informationabout yourpowerchair’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. Use proper lifting techniques and avoid lifting beyond your
capacity.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging
a frozen battery may result in damage to the battery.
WARNING! Connect your battery harnesses in the proper manner. RED (+) cables must be connected
to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK (-) cables must be connected to negative (-) battery
terminals/posts. Protective caps should be installed over all battery terminals. REPLACE cables
immediately if damaged.
Removable Parts
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a power chair by any of its removable parts, including the
armrests, seat, foot riggings, controller, and shrouds.
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.
Reaching and Bending
Neverreach,lean,or bendwhiledrivingyourpower chair.Ifit isabsolutelynecessary toreach, lean,orbend whileseated
onyour power chair,it is important tomaintain a stablecenter ofgravity and keepthe powerchair from tipping.Pride
recommendsthatthe power chair user determine his/her personallimitations and practice bendingand reaching in the
presenceofaqualified healthcareprofessional.
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 or if you have to reach over the back of the seat. Movements
such as these may change your center of gravity and the weight distribution of the power chair,
possibly causing your power chair to tip.
WARNING! Keep your hands away from the tires when driving. Be aware that loose fitting clothing
can become caught in drive tires.

have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.
Electromagneticand Radio FrequencyInterference cancome fromsources such as cellularphones, mobiletwo-way
radios(such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TVstations,amateurradio(HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links,
microwavesignals,pagingtransmitters, and medium-range mobile transceivers used by emergencyvehicles. In some

producthasbeentested 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 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, go to 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.
