Pride Mobility Victotory XL Owner's Manual page 7

Do not expose the electronics to any type of moisture at any time (rain, snow, mist or wash).
Such exposure can damage the electronics. Never attempt to ride a Scooter that has been
exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
Secure the batteries before loading your Scooter into another vehicle for transport.
Disconnect the batteries if you are not going to operate your Scooter for more than 48
hours.
As you begin to use your Victory XL during your daily activities, you will encounter situations that may require
some practice. Simply take your time as you operate your Scooter and you will soon be in full and confident
control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off of elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate
terrain.
DOORS
Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
n
Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
n
Drive your Victory XL slowly forward to push the door open; or drive your Scooter slowly backwards to pull
n
the door open.
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door-edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).
If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or
n
allow the rubber door edge to contact the Scooter to reopen the door.
Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Victory XL accessories do not become caught in the elevator
n
doors.
RAMPS AND OTHER INCLINES
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe Scooter
access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks that require you to have good cornering skills on your Victory
XL.
Take wide swings with your Scooter’s front wheel(s) around any tight corners. If you do that, the rear wheels
n
will follow a wide arc and will not cut the corner short, bump into, or get hung up on any railing corners.
When driving down a ramp, keep your Victory XL’s speed adjustment dial (see IV. “Description”) set to the
n
tortoise (slowest speed setting) to ensure a safely controlled descent.
Avoid sudden stops and starts.
