Motor Vehicle Transport
Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your power chair while traveling in a motor vehicle. The power chair sho
be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with batteries removed and/or properly secured. In addition,
removable power chair parts, including the armrests, seat, front riggings, controller, and shrouds should be removed an
properly secured during motor vehicle transport.
WARNING! Do not sit on your power chair while it is in a moving vehicle.
WARNING! Always be sure your power chair and its batteries are properly secured when it is being
transported. Batteries should be secured in an upright position and protective caps should be installed on the
battery terminals. Batteries should not be transported with any flammable or combustible items.
Positioning Belts
Your authorized Pride Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining your requ
ment for a positioning belt in order to operate your power chair safely.
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your power chair, make sure it is fastened
securely in order to reduce the possibility of a fall from the power chair.
WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is your power
chair suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone traveling in a vehicle should be properly belted into
seats approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
Batteries
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For more infor
tion about your power chair’s batteries, see VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wear goggles and gloves when handling and wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Power chair batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to lift that
much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques and avoid lifting beyond your capacity.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging a
frozen battery may result in damage to the battery.
WARNING! Connect the battery harnesses in the proper manner. RED (+) cables must be connected
to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK (-) cables must be connected to negative (-) battery
terminals/posts. Protective caps should be installed over all battery terminals. REPLACE cables
immediately if damaged.
Removable Parts
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a power chair by any of its removable parts, including the armrests,
seat, front riggings, controller, and shrouds. Pride recommends use of only solid, non-removable frame
components to lift or move your power chair.
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 joystick contact. This will also eliminate the
possibility of unintended chair movement from electromagnetic (EM) sources.
