Safety - Pride Mobility Victory Series Manual

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
You must read, understand, and follow all of the safety precautions and product information contained in this
manual before operating your Scooter for the first time. Below are some safety tips designed to help you become
accustomed to operating your new Scooter safely.
Motor Vehicle Transport
Never use your Scooter as a seat in a moving vehicle. Your Scooter was not designed for such use and cannot
protect you in the event of an automobile accident or an abrupt deceleration.
WARNING! Always be sure your Scooter is properly secured when it is being transported. Failure to
do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your Scooter.
Although your Scooter may be equipped with a lap belt, this belt was not designed with the intent of providing
proper restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in
his/her seat with seat belts approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
Also, make sure to secure or remove the batteries before loading your Scooter into a motor vehicle for transport.
Weight Limitations
Your Victory is rated for a maximum weight limit of 135 kg.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your Scooter under any circumstances. Exceeding the
weight limit voids your warranty and may result in personal injury and/or damage to your Scooter.
Public Roads and Parking Lots
WARNING! Do not operate your Scooter on public streets and roadways. Please be aware 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.
Anti-tip Precautions
n Keep both hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard at all times while operating your Scooter. This
position gives you the most control over your Scooter.
n Use extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces or unprotected ledges or drop-offs (kerbs, porches,
stairs, etc.).
n Never drive your Scooter across the side of an incline or diagonally up or down an incline; do not stop, if
possible, while driving up or down an incline.
n Reduce your speed when approaching a turn.
n Drive slowly through turns.
