Safety Precautions - Pride Mobility Victory Economy Owner's Manual

You must read this entire manual and understand all of the safety precautions before you attempt to operate your
new Victory for the first time.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

n Lock your 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 Do not operate your Scooter with the seat in the reclined position (if so equipped).
n Make certain that the tyres are properly inflated to 30 pounds per square inch (psi). Overinflating a tyre can
cause it to explode, resulting in personal injury or damage to your Scooter.
n Do not operate your Scooter if you are taking medication which may impair your ability to operate your Scooter
in a safe manner.
n Do not 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 Keep both hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard at all times while operating your Scooter. This
driving position gives you the most control over your vehicle.
n Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces or unprotected ledges or drop-offs (kerbs,
porches, stairs, etc.).
n Drive slowly through turns.
n Secure the batteries before loading your Scooter into another vehicle for transport.
n Disconnect the batteries if you are not going to operate your Scooter for more than 48 hours.
n 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.
n Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery. This damages the
battery and may cause personal injury. Attempting to charge a battery in freezing conditions does not prevent a
battery from freezing.
n 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.
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.
WARNING! 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.
WARNING! Do not operate your Scooter where you cannot safely and legally walk. Use extreme
caution when driving on busy streets, in parking lots, or in shopping malls. Always assume that you
cannot be seen by motor vehicle drivers.
