Safety Precautions - Pride Sundancer Owner's Manual

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

n Do not carry passengers on your Scooter.
n Lock the seat into place and remove the key from the key switch before you get on or off of your Scooter.
n Lock the seat into position before you operate your Scooter.
n Reduce your speed when you are operating your Scooter on uneven terrain, soft surfaces, and around a
corner.
n Never drive your Scooter across the side of an incline or diagonally up or down an incline; do not stop, if
possible, while driving up or down an incline.
n Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or incline and when driving near a
raised surface or unprotected ledges and drop offs (kerbs, porches, stairs, etc.).
n Never remove the anti-tip wheels or modify your Scooter in any way that is not authorized by Pride.
n Use extreme caution when operating your Scooter on busy streets and in parking lots or shopping malls; never
ride your Scooter where you cannot safely and legally walk. Consult local municipal or state agencies with
regard to operating your Scooter on public roadways.
n Do not operate your Scooter while you are under the influence of alcohol.
n Check with your physician if you are taking any medications that may affect your ability to operate your
Scooter safely.
n Keep your hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard when you are operating your Scooter.
n Make certain that the tyres are properly inflated (30 psi). Overinflating a tyre can cause it to explode, resulting
in personal injury or damage to your Scooter.
n Never use your Scooter as a seat in a moving vehicle.
n Make certain that your batteries are properly secured when you are transporting your Scooter in another
vehicle.
n Disconnect the batteries if you will not be using your Scooter for more than 48 hours. The batteries weigh
approximately 11,5 kg each. If you are unable to lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Lifting weight above
your capacity to do so may result in personal injury.
n Never sit on your Scooter when it is being used with any type of lift/elevation product. Your Scooter was not
designed with such use in mind, and any damage or injury incurred from such use is not the responsibility of
Pride. It is our recommendation that you follow the manufacturer-supplied instructions and specifications if you
decide to use such a product in connection to your Scooter.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
Do not expose the electronics to any type of moisture (rain, snow, mist, or wash) at any time. Such
exposure can damage the electronics.
Never attempt to ride a Scooter that has been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
Do not operate or store your Scooter where it may be exposed to inclement weather conditions
such as rain, snow, mist, and below-freezing temperatures (such as storage on an outside car/van
lift). Attempting to operate your Scooter in such conditions can damage the electronics and
potentially result in loss of control.
Do not operate your Scooter in icy or slippery conditions or on salted surfaces (i.e., footpaths or
roads). Such use may result in an accident, personal injury, or adversely affect the performance
and/or safety of your Scooter.
