PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your Legend Classic 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 XI. “Care and Maintenance.”
Perform the following inspections prior to using your Legend Classic:
n Check for proper tyre inflation (if equipped with pneumatic tyres).
n Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
n Check all harness connections (battery, front-to-rear). Make sure they are secured properly.
n Check the brakes.
n Check battery charge.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorised Pride provider for assistance.
TYRE INFLATION
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least once
a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tyres and help ensure the smooth operation of your
scooter.
WARNING! It is critically important that 30-35 psi (2-2.5 bar) tyre pressure be maintained in pneu-
matic tyres at all times. Failure to maintain 30-35 psi (2-2.5 bar) tyre pressure in pneumatic tyres at
all times may result in catastrophic tyre and/or wheel failure, causing serious personal injury and/or
damage to your scooter.
WARNING! Inflate your scooter drive tyres from a regulated air source with an available pressure
gauge. Maximum air pressure for scooter drive tyres is 30-35 psi (2-2.5 bar). Inflating your tyres from
an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tyre and/or personal injury.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your Legend Classic is rated for a 159 kg, 25 stone (350-lb.) maximum weight limit.
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.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your Legend Classic. Carrying passengers may result in
personal injury and/or property damage.
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 IV. “Your Legend Classic.”
n Avoid sudden stops and starts.
