Ii. Safety - Pride Mobility Shuttle Owner's Manual

These tests were conducted with the Shuttle’s seat in the highest position and adjusted backward on the
seat base to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your Shuttle’s ability to
travel up inclines is affected by your weight, your scooter’s speed, your angle of approach to the incline,
and your scooter setup.
n When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 3 and 4. This will shift the
center of gravity of you and your Shuttle towards the front of the scooter for improved stability.
WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in
this manual.

DRIVING SURFACES
Your Shuttle was designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions; dry, level sur-
faces composed of concrete or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes the fact that there will be times when
you will operate your Shuttle on surfaces other than concrete or asphalt. So we have also designed your
Shuttle to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel.
n Feel free to use your Shuttle safely on lawns and in park areas.
n Avoid tall grass that can entangle the running gear.
n Packed soil and gravel, such as driveways or roads, will present no problem for your Shuttle.
n Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
n If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
