TYRE INFLATION
Ifyourscooterisequippedwith pneumatictyres,youshouldcheckorhave theairpressurecheckedatleastoncea

WARNING! It is critically important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on each tyre
be maintained in pneumatic tyres at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tyres.
Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tyres may burst. Failure to
maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tyres at all times may
result in tyre and/or wheel failure.
WARNING! Inflate your scooter tyres from a regulated air source with an available pressure
gauge. Inflating your tyres from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting
in a burst tyre.
WARNING! When changing a tyre, remove only the centre lug nut, then remove the wheel.
If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode.
NOTE: If the tyres on your scooter list the psi rating only, use the following conversion formulas to
find the bar or kPa rating: bar=psi x 0.06895, kPa= psi x 6.89476.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Yourscooter isratedforamaximumweightcapacity.Refertothespecificationstableforinformation.
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity for your scooter. 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 scooter. Carrying passengers on your scooter
may affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.

When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then
acceleratecautiously.When driving down an incline,dosobysetting the speed adjustmentdialtotheslowest

WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the scooter in
freewheel mode especially 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 scooter straight up the incline. This greatly reduces
the possibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating
an incline.
WARNING! Do not drive your scooter across the side of an incline or diagonally up
or down an incline; do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down 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! Even though your scooter 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 scooter.
Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries and therefore do not

WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is shown in figure

injury.
WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 6 kg. Never fill the front or

CORNERING INFORMATION
Excessivelyhigh cornering speeds can createthepossibilityoftipping. Factors which affectthepossibilityof
tippinginclude,but arenotlimitedto, corneringspeed,steeringangle(howsharplyyouareturning), unevenroad
surfaces,inclinedroadsurfaces,ridingfromanareaoflowtractiontoanareaofhightraction(suchaspassingfrom
a grassy area to a paved area – especially at high speed while turning) and abrupt directional changes. High
cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and
steeringangle(i.e.,lessenthe sharpness oftheturn)topreventyour scooter fromtipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable center of
gravity. When using your scooter at higher speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly
reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. Always exercise common sense when cornering.

BATTERIES
Inadditiontofollowingthewarningsbelow,besuretocomplywith allotherbatteryhandlinginformation.
MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash
hands after handling.
WARNING! Scooter 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! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen
battery.
WARNING! Connect the 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. REPLACE cables
immediately if damaged. Protective caps must be installed over all battery
terminals.
NOTE: If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and
contact your local waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for instructions on disposal and
battery recycling which is our recommended course of action.
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 throttle
control lever contact.
