PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check before

each use to make sure your scooter operates smoothly and safely. For details on how to perform these necessary

inspections, see XII. “Care and Maintenance.”

Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:

n Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain 30-35 psi in each tire (if equipped with pneumatic tires).

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

n Check all controller connections to the utility tray. Make sure they are secured properly.

n Check the brakes.

n Check battery charge.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specifications table for this capacity.

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 cornering skills on

your scooter.

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

n Take wide swings with your scooter’s front wheel(s) 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.

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

safely controlled descent. See V. “Your Victory.”

n Avoid sudden stops and starts.

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 30-35 psi tire pressure 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 30-35 psi tire pressure

in pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious

personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

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 and/or personal injury

WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your scooter. Carrying passengers may result in personal

injury and/or property damage.

WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result in personal injury and

damage to your scooter. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage

resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
