Maintain and store in a clean and dry condition.
  • Page 7 Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after handling. Do not place your Travel Scooter in freewheel mode while on an incline or decline. Do not use batteries with different amp-hour (Ah) capacities. Do not mix old and new batteries.

  • Page 9 GENERAL MANDATORY! Do not operate your new Travel Scooter for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owner’s manual. Your Travel Scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the Travel Scooter user. Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of Travel Scooter to be used is the responsibility of the Travel Scooter user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).
  • Page 10 Perform the following inspections prior to using your Travel Scooter: Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire if equiped with pneumatic tires. Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded. Check all harness connections.
  • Page 11 When climbing an incline, try to keep your Travel Scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your Travel Scooter starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever.
  • Page 12 When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the center of gravity of you and your Travel Scooter toward the front of the Travel Scooter for improved stability. NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the powered Travel Scooter may “roll back”...
  • Page 13 OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES Your Travel 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 Travel Scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel.
  • Page 14 INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS Exposure of your Travel Scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your Travel Scooter, proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry your Travel Scooter before storing, charging, or operating your Travel Scooter.

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 Travel Scooter and the door will reopen. Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Travel Scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
