II. SAFETY
GENERAL
WARNING! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading and
understanding this owners manual.
Your Go-Go is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an exten-
sive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the scooter user. Please be aware that the final selection
and purchasing decision regarding the type of scooter to be used is the responsibility of the scooter user who is
capable of making such a decision and his her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted the
scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and or your authorised Pride Provider
in the instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the scooter user will need to practice
operating the scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family member
or care professional specially trained in assisting a scooter user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you will
need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver
through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help the user become accustomed to
operating the scooter safely.
MODIFICATIONS
Pride has designed and engineered your scooter to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of acces-
sories is available from your authorised Pride Provider to further customize your scooter to better suit your needs
and or preferences. However, under no circumstances should you modify, add, remove, or disable any feature,
part, or function of your scooter.
WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way unless authorised by Pride. Unauthorised modi-
fications may result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
REMOVABLE PARTS
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a scooter by any of its removable parts. Personal injury
and damage to the scooter may result.
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
Your scooters road performance features may be influenced by electromagnetic fields caused by cellular tele-
phones or other radiating devices, such as hand-held radios, radio and television stations, wireless computer links,
microwave sources, and paging transmitters.

PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check before
each use to make sure your scooter operates smoothly and safely. For details on how to perform these necessary
inspections, see XI. Care and Maintenance.
Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:
nCheck all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
nCheck the brakes.
nCheck battery charge.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorised Pride Provider for assistance.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your Go-Go is rated for a 113 kg (250-lb.) maximum weight limit.
II. SAFETY
WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result in personal injury and
damage to your scooter. 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 may result in personal
injury and/or property damage.
GETTING ONTOAND OFF OFYOUR SCOOTER
Getting onto and off of your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety tips
when getting onto and off of your scooter:
nPower down your scooter. See VI. Operation.
nEnsure that your scooter is not in freewheel mode. See IV. Your Go-Go.
nMake certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch.
WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the scooter seat to prevent the scooter from
tipping and causing injury.
WARNING! If you have the optional seat upgrade with armrests, avoid using your armrests for
weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause your Go-Go to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the scooter to tip
and cause personal injury.
POSITIONING BELTS
Your authorised Pride Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining
your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your scooter safely.
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your scooter, make sure it is fastened
securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the scooter.

II. SAFETY
Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for scooters. Figures 1 and 1A illustrate your
scooters stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.
These tests were conducted with the Go-Gos seat in the highest position and adjusted rearward on the seat base
to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your scooters ability to travel up inclines is
affected by your weight, your scooters speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your scooter setup.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend slopes steeper than that shown in figures 1 and 1A
may put your scooter in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.
INCLINE INFORMATION
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination designed for easy and safe access. Some
ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on your scooter.
nProceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
nTake wide swings with your scooters front wheel(s) around any tight corners. If you do that, the scooters rear
wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.
nWhen driving down a ramp, keep the scooters speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a
safely controlled descent. See IV. Your Go-Go.
nAvoid sudden stops and starts.
When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then
accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest
setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your scooter starts to move down the incline faster than you
anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever. Then push the
throttle control lever 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 scooter straight up the incline. his 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 scooter in freewheel mode
while seated on it or standing next to it.

II. SAFETY
Figure2A. IncreasedStabilityDrivingPositionFigure 2. Normal Driving Position
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the centre of gravity of
you and your scooter toward the front of the scooter for improved stability.
NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the
powered scooter may "rollback" approximately 0.5 cm (1 foot) before the brake engages. If the throttle
control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered scooter may "rollback" approximately
one meter ( feet) before the brake engages..
BRAKING INFORMATION
Your scooter is equipped with these powerful brake systems:
nRegenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the centre
stop position.
nDisc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or when
power is removed from the system for any reason.
WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this
manual.
CORNERING INFORMATION
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of
tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven road
surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from
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
steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your scooter from tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your scooter at higher speeds,
do not corner sharply. his greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. o avoid personal injury or
property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.

10 Go-Go
II. SAFETY
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditionsdry, level surfaces com-
posed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will encoun-
ter other surface types. For this reason, your scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and
gravel. Feel free to use your scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.
nReduce your scooters speed when driving on uneven terrain and or soft surfaces.
nAvoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
nAvoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
nIf you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, KERBS, ETC.)
Always approach a kerb straight on whether ascending or descending it. See figures 3 and 3A.
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. Serious personal injury and/or damage may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed rearward down any step, kerb, or other
obstacle. his may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any kerb you may be required to
ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.
WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a kerb that has a height greater than 5 cm (two inches).

12 Go-Go
REACHING AND BENDING
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your scooter. When reaching, bending, or leaning while seated on your
scooter, it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the scooter from tipping. Pride recommends
that the scooter user determine his her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a
qualified healthcare professional.
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. Movements such as these may change your center of gravity
and the weight distribution of the scooter and cause your scooter to tip, possibly resulting in
personal injury. Keep your hands away from the tyres when driving.
II. SAFETY
WARNING! Do not sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or property
damage may result.
WARNING! Always be sure your scooter is properly secured when it is being transported. Failure to
do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a
person while seated in a scooter.
Although your scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide proper restraint
during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor
vehicle seat with safety belts fastened securely.
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).
nIf you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or
allow the rubber door edge to contact the scooter and the door will reopen.
nUse care that pocketbooks, packages, or scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.

When the red LED is no longer lit, charging is complete.
6. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the off-board charger power lead from the wall outlet and then
from the charger power lead receptacle.
7. Replace the charger power lead receptacle cover.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on your Go-Go. The Go-Go will not run and the battery
condition meter will not operate if the charger cord is not disconnected from the battery pac .
WARNING! Never use an extension lead to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly
into a properly wired standard wall outlet.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the tiller console uses a colour code to indicate the
approximate strength of your batteries. Green indicates fully charged batteries,
yellow a draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate recharge is neces-
sary. See figure 8.
To check the battery strength during charging, you must first unplug the charger
power lead and power up your scooter by inserting the key into the key switch.

BATTERIES AND CHARGING-FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
How does the charger work?
When your scooters battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to the
batteries to bring up their charge. As the voltage approaches full charge, the charger sends less and less electrical

current to the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent by the charger is at nearly zero
amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your scooters batteries, but does
not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your scooters batteries for more than 24 consecu-
tive hours.
What if my scooters batteries wont charge?
nEnsure that both ends of the charger power lead are inserted fully.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your scooters batteries:
nAll day scooter use on a daily basis.
nInfrequent or sporadic scooter use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your scooters
batteries. We designed the off-board charger so that it will not overcharge your scooters batteries. However, you
may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do not charge them on
a regular basis. Following the five guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery operation and charging.
nIf you use your scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your scooter will be ready
each morning to give you a full day of service. We recommend that you charge your scooters batteries for 8 to 14
hours after daily use.
nIf you use your scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at a time.
nKeep your scooters batteries fully charged.
nAvoid deeply discharging your scooters batteries.
nDo not charge your scooters batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely will you have ideal driving conditionssmooth, flat, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves. Often
you will face hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind, all of which affect the
distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per
battery charge.
nFully charge your scooters batteries prior to use.
nPlan your route to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as possible.
nLimit your baggage weight to essential items.
nTry to maintain an even speed while your scooter is in motion.
nAvoid stop-and-go driving.
What about public transportation?
If you intend to use public transportation with your scooter, you must contact the transportation provider in advance
to determine their specific requirements.
What type and size battery should I use?
Your scooter comes equipped with two deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both sealed
lead-acid and gel cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which
have removable caps.
