Safety Precautions - Pride Legend Owner's Manual

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

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

n 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.
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
the Scooter in such conditions can damage the electronics and potentially result in loss of control.
n 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.
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 psi).
n 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 laws.
n Do not operate your Scooter without first consulting your physician regarding any concerns you have about
physical limitations that could prevent you from safely operating your Scooter.
n Do not operate your Scooter if you are taking medication which may impair your ability to operate the Scooter
in a safe manner.
n 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.
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 Do not use your Scooter as a seat in a moving vehicle. Your Scooter is not designed for such use and cannot
protect you in the event of an automobile accident or an abrupt stop.
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 Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! 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.
CAUTION! Secure the batteries before loading your Scooter into another vehicle for transport.
CAUTION! Disconnect the batteries if you are not going to operate your Scooter for more than 48
hours.
