WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your scooter is ratedforamaximum weight capacity.Refertothe specifications table forinformation.
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your scooter. Exceeding the
weight capacity voids the 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 centre of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.
TYRE INFLATION
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least
onceaweek.Properinflationpressureswillprolongthelifeofyour tyres and help ensure the smooth operation
of your scooter.
WARNING! It is critically important that 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure 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 2-2.4 bar
(30-35 psi) tyre pressure in 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.
INCLINE INFORMATION
Moreand more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed foreasyand safe access.
Somerampsmay have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require youtohavegoodcornering skills on
yourscooter.
!Proceedwithextremecautionasyou approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
!Take wide swings with your scooter around anytightcorners. If you do that, the scooter’s rear wheels will
followawidearc,not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on anyrailingcorners.
!Whendrivingdownaramp,keepthe scooter’sspeed adjustment set to the slowest speedsettingtoensurea
safelycontrolled descent.
!Avoidsuddenstops and starts.
When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then
acceleratecautiously.Whendrivingdown an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustmentdial to the slowest
settinganddrivingintheforwarddirectiononly. If your scooter starts to move down the incline faster than you
anticipatedordesired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever.Thenpush the
throttlecontrol lever forward slightlytoensurea safely controlled descent.
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).

II. SAFETY
CORNERING INFORMATION
Excessivelyhigh cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factorswhich affect the possibility of
tippinginclude, but are notlimitedto,cornering speed, steeringangle(howsharply you are turning),unevenroad
surfaces,inclined roadsurfaces,riding from anareaof lowtractionto anareaof high traction(suchas passingfrom
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., lessen the sharpness of theturn)topreventyour scooter from tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable centre 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.
BRAKING INFORMATION
Your scooter is equipped with these powerfulbrakesystems:
!Regenerative:Uses electricity to rapidly slowthevehiclewhen the throttle controlleverreturnsto the centre/

PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADWAYS
WARNING! You should not operate your scooter on public streets and roadways. Be aware
that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your scooter. Obey all
local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with
extreme caution.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, KERBS, ETC.)
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (kerbs,
porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter climb or descend an obstacle that is
inordinately high.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed rearward down any step,
kerb, or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip.
II. SAFETY
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the scooter in freewheel
mode while seated on it or standing next to it.
WARNING! Even though your scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater than that
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
