  • Page 8 I I . S A F E T Y GENERAL MANDATORY! Do not operate your new Travel Scooter for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owner’s manual. Your Travel Scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the Travel Scooter user.
  • Page 9 I I . S A F E T Y Perform the following inspections prior to using your Travel Scooter: ! Check for proper tyre inflation (if equipped with pneumatic tyres). ! Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded. ! Check all harness connections.
  • Page 10 I I . S A F E T Y When climbing an incline, try to keep your Travel Scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest setting and driving in the forward direction only.
  • Page 11 I I . S A F E T Y When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the centre of gravity of you and your Travel Scooter toward the front of the Travel Scooter for improved stability. NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the powered Travel Scooter may "rollback"...
  • Page 12 I I . S A F E T Y OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES Your Travel Scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop or tarmac. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other surface types.
  • Page 13 I I . S A F E T Y INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS Exposure of your Travel Scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your Travel Scooter, proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity.
  • Page 14 I I . S A F E T Y LIFTS Modern lifts have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s). ! If you are in the doorway of a lift when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the Travel Scooter and the door will reopen.
  • Page 15 I I . S A F E T Y MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your Travel Scooter while traveling in a motor vehicle. The Travel Scooter should be stowed in the boot of a car or in the back of a truck or van with the batteries removed and properly secured.
  • Page 16 I I . S A F E T Y REACHING AND BENDING Avoid reaching or bending while driving your Travel Scooter. Bending forward creates the risk of accidental throttle control lever contact. Bending to the side while seated creates the risk of tipping. It is important to maintain a stable centre of gravity and keep the Travel Scooter from tipping.
