Lifts
Modern lifts have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
! If you are in the doorway of a lift 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.
! Use care that handbags, packages, or scooter accessories do not become caught in lift doors.
NOTE: If your scooter’s turning radius is greater than 1500 mm (60 in), it may be difficult to maneuver
in lifts and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneuver your scooter in small
spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
Lift/Elevation Products
If you will be traveling with your scooter, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product to aid in transpor-
tation. Pride recommends that you closely review the instructions, specifications, and safety information set forth
by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product.
Batteries
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.
WARNING! Scooter batteries are heavy (refer to specifications table). Lifting weight beyond
your capacity could result in personal injury. If necessary, get someone physically able to
lift the scooter batteries for you.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery.
Charging a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.
WARNING! RED (+) cables must be connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK
(-) cables must be connected to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. Failure to connect
your battery harnesses in the proper manner may result in personal injury and/or damage
to your scooter. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged.
Battery Disposal and Recycling
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and call your authorised
Pride Dealer for instructions on disposal. Your authorised Pride Dealer will also have the necessary information on
battery recycling, which is our recommended course of action.
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 throttle
control lever contact. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
