OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your Travel Scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level
surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop or tarmac. However, Pride recognises 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. Feel free to use your Travel Scooter safely on lawns and in
park areas.
Avoid driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
Do not use your Travel Scooter in fresh or salt water.
Do not use your Travel Scooter at the edge of a stream, lake or ocean.
If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADWAYS
WARNING! Exercise extreme caution when operating the scooter on footpaths,
pavements, bridleways, pedestrian areas and roads. Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, KERBS, ETC.)
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (kerbs,
porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your Travel Scooter climb or descend an obstacle that
is inordinately high.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your Travel Scooter proceed rearward down any step,
kerb or other obstacle. This may cause the Travel Scooter to tip.
WARNING! Be sure your Travel Scooter is traveling perpendicular to any kerb you may
be required to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.
WARNING! Even though your Travel Scooter may be capable of handling greater
obstacles, Pride recommends that you do not attempt to negotiate a kerb that has a
height greater than 5 cm (2 in.). Doing so could cause instability in your Travel Scooter.
