Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:

Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated

on each tire if equipped with pneumatic tires.

Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.

Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly.

Check the brakes.

Check battery charge.

If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.

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.

WARNING! It is critically important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on each

tire be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your

tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure

to maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tires at all times

may result in tire and/or wheel failure.

WARNING! Inflate your scooter tires from a regulated air source with an available

pressure gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate

them, resulting in a burst tire.

NOTE: If tires on your scooter 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.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to the specifications table for information.

MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity for your scooter. 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 scooter. Carrying passengers on your

scooter may affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.

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 cor-

nering skills on your scooter.

Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.

Take wide swings with your scooter 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.

When driving down a ramp, keep the scooter’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to

ensure a safely controlled descent.

Avoid sudden stops and starts.
