LIFTS

Modern lifts have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the lift 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 scooter and the door will reopen.

Use care that handbags, packages or scooter accessories do not become caught in lift doors.

NOTE: If your scooter's turning radius is greater than 152.4 cm (60 in.), it may be difficult to manoeuvre

in lifts and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or manoeuvre your scooter in small

spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.

LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS

If you will be transporting your scooter during travel, you may find it necessary to use a vehicle-mounted

lift system or elevation product to aid in transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the

warnings, instructions, specifications and safety information set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/ele-

vation product before using that product.

WARNING! Not all lift systems/elevation products are rated for use with an occupied

mobility device. Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your scooter when

it is being used in connection with any type of lift system/elevation product unless:

That product is rated for occupied use by the manufacturer.

You are able to occupy your mobility device in strict conformity with the warnings,

instructions, specifications and safety guidelines set forth by the manufacturer.

WARNING! Always turn off the power to the unit when you are being transferred via an

elevation product. Failure to do so may result in accidental throttle control lever contact,

resulting in unintended movement and personal injury or product damage.

BATTERIES

In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.

MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead

compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after

handling.

WARNING! Scooter batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to lift

that much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques and avoid lifting

beyond your capacity.

WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery.

Charging a frozen battery may result in damage to the battery.

WARNING! Connect the battery harnesses in the proper manner. RED (+) cables must be

connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK (-) cables must be connected

to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. Protective caps should be installed over all

battery terminals. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged.
