OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level sur-
faces composed of concrete or tarmac. However, Pride recognises that there will be times when you will
encounter other surface types. For this reason, your scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed
soil, grass and gravel. Feel free to use your scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.
Reduce your scooter's speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
Do not use your scooter in fresh or salt water.
Do not use your scooter at the edge of a stream, lake, or ocean.
If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADWAYS
WARNING! Exercise extreme caution when operating the scooter on footpaths,
pavements, bridleways, pedestrian areas and roads. Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, KERBS, ETC.)
To navigate up over a kerb or stationary onstacle:
1. Approach the kerb or obstacle slowly, and make sure the scooter is traveling perpendicular to the
obstacle. See figure 3.
2. Increase the forward speed just before the front wheel(s) some in contact with the obstacle.
3. Reduce the forward speed only after the rear wheels have cleared the obstacle.
To navigate down a kerb or stationary obstacle:
1. Approach the kerb or obstacle slowly, and make sure the scooter is traveling perpendicular to the
obstacle. See figure 3.
2. Reduce the forward speed just before the front wheel(s) come in contact with the obstacle.
3. Increase the forward speed only after the rear wheels have cleared the obstacle and you are once again
on a level surface.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter climb or descend an obstacle that is
inordinately high.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed rearward down any step, kerb
or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip.
