Ii. Safety - Pride Mobility Maxima SC900 Owner's Manual

PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your scooter 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 X. "Care and Maintenance."
Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:
! Check for proper tyre inflation. Maintain 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) in each tyre (if equipped with pneu-
matic tyres).
! Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
! Check all harness connections to the electronic module. Make sure they are secured properly.
! Check the brakes.
! Check battery charge.
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 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure be maintained
in pneumatic tyres at all times. Failure to maintain 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) 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 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi). Inflating
your tyres from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tyre
and/or personal injury.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorised Pride Dealer for assistance.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to the specifications table for information.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity 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 scooter. 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.
! Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
! 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.
! 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 Scooter."
! Avoid sudden stops and starts.
