Safety Precautions - Pride Mobility Victory XL-8 Owner's Manual

You must read this entire manual and understand all of the safety precautions before you attempt to operate your
new Victory XL-8 for the first time.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! Do not operate your Scooter 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/or safety of your Scooter.
WARNING! 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 the Scooter in such conditions can damage the
electronics and potentially result in loss of control.
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.
WARNING! Lock your seat into place and remove the key from the key switch before you get on or
off of your Scooter.
WARNING! Lock the Scooter seat into position before you operate your Scooter.
WARNING! Do not operate your Scooter with the seat in the reclined position (if so equipped).
WARNING! Make certain that the tyres are properly inflated (30 psi).
WARNING! Do not operate your Scooter while you are under the influence of alcohol. Operating
powered vehicles while you are under the influence of alcohol impairs your ability to operate the
Scooter in a safe manner and may violate certain existing laws.
WARNING! Do not operate your Scooter without first consulting your physician about any concerns
you have about physical limitations that could prevent you from safely operating your Scooter.
WARNING! Do not operate your Scooter if you are taking medication which may impair your ability
to operate the Scooter in a safe manner.
WARNING! Do not drive your Scooter across the side of a hill or diagonally up or down a hill; do not
stop, if possible, while driving up or down an incline.
WARNING! 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.
WARNING! Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces or unprotected ledges
or drop-offs (kerbs, porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Drive slowly through turns.
WARNING! Do not use your Scooter as a seat in a moving vehicle. Your Scooter is not designed to
be used as such and cannot protect you in the event of an automobile accident or an abrupt stop.
WARNING! 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.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
