POSITIONING BELTS
Your authorized Pride Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining
your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your PMV safely.
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your PMV, make sure it is
fastened securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the PMV.
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS/PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS
The PMV user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her PMV. This includes awareness of
safety issues when taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations.
WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter
medication or if you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations
may impair your ability to operate your PMV in a safe manner.
ALCOHOL/SMOKING
The PMV user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her PMV. This includes awareness of
safety issues while under the influence of alcohol, or while smoking.
WARNING! Do not operate your PMV while you are under the influence of alcohol, as this
may impair your ability to drive safely.
WARNING! Pride strongly recommends that you do not smoke cigarettes while seated on
your PMV, although the PMV seat has passed the necessary testing requirements for
cigarette smoking. You must adhere to the following safety guidelines if you decide to
smoke cigarettes while seated on your PMV.
Do not leave lit cigarettes unattended.
Keep ashtrays a safe distance from the seat cushions.
Always make sure cigarettes are completely extinguished before disposal.
