STAIRS AND ESCALATORS

scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.

WARNING! Do not use your scooter to negotiate steps or escalators. You may cause injury to

yourself and to others and damage your scooter.

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

backwards 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.

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.”

WARNING! 32 AH scooter batteries weigh 25 lbs. each, and 40 AH batteries weight 32.5 lbs. each.

If you are unable to lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Lifting beyond your capacity can

result in personal injury.

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.
