Freewheel Mode - Pride Hurricane Owner's Manual

PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADWAYS
WARNING! You should not operate your Hurricane on public streets and roadways. Be aware that
it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your Hurricane. Obey all local
pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme
caution.
NOTE: Safety accessories like reflectors, fluorescent flags, and various lighting packages are available to
order from your authorised Pride provider.
INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not operate your Hurricane in icy or slippery conditions
or on salted surfaces (i.e., walks or roads). Such use may result in an accident, personal injury, or
adversely affect the performance and safety of your Hurricane.
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not expose your Hurricane to any type of moisture at any
time (rain, snow, mist, or wash). Such exposure can damage your Hurricane. Never operate your
Hurricane if it has been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.

FREEWHEEL MODE

Your Hurricane is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that when pulled up allows the Hurricane to be pushed.
For more information about how to place your Hurricane into and out of freewheel mode, See IV. “Your Hurricane. ”
WARNING! Do not use your Hurricane in freewheel mode without an attendant present. Personal
injury may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to personally place your Hurricane in freewheel mode while seated on
it. Personal injury may result. Ask an attendant for assistance if necessary.
WARNING! Do not place your Hurricane in freewheel mode while on an incline. The Hurricane
could roll uncontrollably on its own, causing personal injury.
TYRE INFLATION
If your Hurricane 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 Hurricane.
WARNING! It is critically important that pneumatic tyres be inflated to 30-35 psi. Do not
underinflate or overinflate your tyres. Improper tyre pressure may result in catastrophic tyre and/or
wheel failure. Serious personal injury and/or property damage may result.
WARNING! Inflate your Hurricane drive tyres from a regulated air source with an available pressure
gauge. Minimum air pressure for Hurricane drive tyres is 30-35 psi. Inflating your tyres from an
unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tyre and/or personal injury.
