DOORS
n Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
n Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
n Drive your scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your scooter gently and slowly
backward to pull the door open.
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).
n If 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.
n Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
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.
WARNING! Do not use your scooter to negotiate steps or escalators. You may cause injury
to yourself and to others and damage your scooter.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.
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.
BATTERIES
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For
more information about your scooter’s batteries, see VI. “ Batteries and Charging.”
TIRE INFLATION
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least once
a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth operation of your
scooter. Do not exceed 35 psi in your Revo tires.
WARNING! It is critically important that pneumatic tires be inflated to 30-35 psi. Do not
underinflate or overinflate your tires. Improper tire pressure may result in catastrophic
tire and/or wheel failure. Serious personal injury and/or property damage may result.
WARNING! Inflate your scooter drive tires from a regulated air source with an available
pressure gauge. Minimum air pressure for scooter drive tires is 30-35 psi. Inflating your
tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tire and/or
personal injury.
