II. SAFETY
Weight Limitations
Yourpowerchairisratedfora maximumweightcapacity.Pleaserefertothe specificationstableforthis limit.
MANDATORY! 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 centre of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.
Tyre Inflation

WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the 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 the pneumatic tyres at all times may result in tyre and/or wheel failure.
WARNING! Inflate your power chair drive 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 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! 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
stabilise the chair. Failure to heed could result in the power chair tipping over.
NOTE: If the tyres on your power chair 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.
