Outdoor Driving Surfaces
Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces composed
of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other
surface types. For this reason, your scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel.
Feel free to use your scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.
! Reduce your scooter's speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
! Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
! Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
! If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
Streets and Roadways
WARNING! Use extreme caution when operating your scooter on public streets and roadways. Be
aware that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your scooter. Obey all
local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme
caution.
NOTE: Safety accessories like fluorescent flags are available to order from your authorized Pride Pro-
vider.
Stationary Obstacles (Steps, Curbs, etc.)
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches,
stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter climb or descend an obstacle that is inordinately
high. Serious personal injury and/or damage may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed rearward down any step, curb, or other
obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be required to
ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.
WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than 5 cm.
