Weight Limitations; Incline Information - Pride Hurricane Owner's Manual

PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your Hurricane and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check
before each use to make sure your Hurricane operates smoothly and safely. For details on how to perform these
necessary inspections, see XI. “Care and Maintenance.”
Perform the following inspections prior to using your Hurricane:
n Check for proper tyre inflation. Maintain 30-35 psi in each tyre (if equipped with pneumatic tyres).
n Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
n Check all controller connections to the electronics module. Make sure they are secured properly.
n Check the brakes.
n Check battery charge.
WARNING! It is critically important that 30-35 psi tyre pressure be maintained in pneumatic tyres at
all times. Failure to maintain 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 Hur-
ricane.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your Hurricane. Carrying passengers on your Hurricane
may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorised Pride provider for assistance.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your scooter is rated for a maximum 181 kg weight limit.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result in personal injury and
damage to your Hurricane. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage
resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.

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 Hurricane.
n Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
n Take wide swings with your Hurricane’s front wheels around any tight corners. If you do that, the Hurricane’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.
n When driving down a ramp, keep the Hurricane’s speed adjustment dial set to the slowest speed setting to
ensure a safely controlled descent. See IV. “Your Hurricane. ”
n Avoid sudden stops and starts.
