Weight Limitations
Yourpowerchair is rated for amaximumweightcapacity. Please refer tothespecificationstableforthislimit.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal injury
and/or damage to your power chair. 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 result in personal injury and/or property damage.
Tyre Inflation
Ifyour powerchairisequippedwith pneumatictyres,youshouldcheck orhavetheairpressure checkedregularly.Proper
inflationpressures will prolong thelifeofyourtyresandhelpensure the smooth operation ofyourpowerchair.
WARNING! It is important that 2.4 bar (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 2.4 bar (35 psi) tyre pressure in pneumatic
tyres at all times may result in tyre and/or wheel failure, causing serious personal injury and/or
damage to your power chair.
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 and/or personal injury.
WARNING! When changing a tyre, remove only the centre lug nut, then remove the tyre. If any
further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode, possibly resulting
in personal injury.

only. If your power chair starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a
completestop by releasing the joystick, then push the joystick forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
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! 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. Doing so may result in personal injury and/or
damage to your power chair.

II. SAFETY
Figure 1. Maximum Safe Slope (Ascending and Descending)
WARNING! Never travel down an incline rearwards. This may result in personal injury.
WARNING! Your power chair may be equipped with a reclining seatback. This feature is intended
for use on a flat, level surface. Do not negotiate inclines with the seat in a reclined position as
this may result in the power chair tipping over and causing personal injury and/or product damage.
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,
resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.
Mosthandicappublic access rampsare requiredtohavea maximum slopeof 8.7%(5°).Therefore,Pride recommends
thatthemaximum slope of an incline you attempt to safely ascend or descend on your power chair does not exceed 8.7%
(5°).Seefigure 1.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 8.7% (5°) may put your power
chair in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.
