II. SAFETY
Weight Limitations
YourGo-Chairis ratedfora maximumweightcapacity. Pleasereferto thespecificationstable forthislimit.
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your Go-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 Go-Chair. Carrying passengers on your Go-Chair may
affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.
Tire Inflation
IfyourGo-Chairisequippedwithpneumatictires,youshouldcheckorhavetheairpressurecheckedregularly. Proper
inflationpressures willprolongthe lifeofyour tiresandhelp ensurethesmooth operationofyour Go-Chair.
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 Go-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.
Incline Information

WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the Go-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 Go-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 Go-Chair
to tip. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! If your Go-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 Go-Chair tipping over.

II. SAFETY
Figure 1. Maximum Safe Angle (Ascending and Descending)
WARNING! Even though your Go-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 Go-Chair.
Incompliance with theAmericanswith DisabilitiesAct of 1990, allhandicappublicaccessramps are required to havea
maximumslope of 5° (8.7%). Therefore,Priderecommendsthatthe maximum slope ofaninclineyouattemptto safely
ascend or descend on your Go-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 Go-Chair
in an unstable position and cause it to tip.

WARNING! Do not attempt to personally place your Go-Chair in freewheel mode while
seated on it. Ask an attendant for assistance if necessary.
WARNING! Do not place your Go-Chair in freewheel mode while on an incline or decline.
This could cause the chair to roll uncontrollably on its own.

II. SAFETY
Batteries
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For more
informationabout yourtravelchair’sbatteries,see VI.“BatteriesandCharging.”
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! Go-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! 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 Go-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,orbendwhiledrivingyourGo-Chair.Ifitisabsolutelynecessarytoreach,lean,orbendwhileseatedon

qualifiedhealthcareprofessional.
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 Go-Chair. This may cause your Go-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.

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 FrequencyInterference can comefrom sources suchas cellularphones, mobile two-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
cases,thesewavescancauseunintendedmovementordamagetothecontrolsystem.Everyelectrically-poweredmobility
vehiclehasanimmunity(orresistance)toEMI.Thehighertheimmunitylevel,thegreatertheprotectionagainstEMI.This
producthasbeentestedandhaspassed 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 Go-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 Go-Chair off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call Pride
at 800-424-8205 to report the incident.
