ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
! 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 PMV and the door will reopen.
! Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or PMV accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
NOTE: If your PMV's turning radius is greater than 60 in., it may be difficult to maneuver in elevators
and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneuver your PMV in small spaces,
and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
BATTERIES
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.
WARNING! PMV batteries are heavy (refer to specifications table). Lifting weight beyond
your capacity could result in personal injury. If necessary, get someone physically able to
lift the PMV batteries for you.
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.
WARNING! RED (+) cables must be connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK
(-) cables must be connected to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. Failure to connect
your battery harnesses in the proper manner may result in personal injury and/or damage
to your PMV. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged.
BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and call your authorized
Pride Provider for instructions on disposal. Your authorized Pride Provider will also have the necessary information
on battery recycling, which is our recommended course of action.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a
person while seated in a PMV.
Although your PMV may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide proper restraint
during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle
seat with safety belts fastened securely.
WARNING! Do not sit on your PMV while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or
property damage may result.
WARNING! Ensure your PMV and its batteries are properly secured when being transported.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your PMV.
