Pride Hurricane PMV Owner's Manual page 9

Perform the following inspections prior to using your PMV:
Check for proper tire inflation (if equipped with pneumatic tyres).
Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly.
Check the brakes.
Check battery charge.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.
TIRE INFLATION
If your PMV is equipped with pneumatic tyres, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least once a
week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tyres and help ensure the smooth operation of your
PMV.
WARNING! It is critically important that 30-35 psi tire pressure be maintained in pneumatic
tyres at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tyres. Low pressure may result in
loss of control, and overinflated tyres may burst. Failure to maintain 30-35 psi tire pressure
in pneumatic tyres at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.
WARNING! Inflate your PMV tyres from a regulated air source with an available pressure
gauge. Inflating your tyres from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting
in a burst tire.
WARNING! When changing a tire, remove only the center lug nut, then remove the tire. If
any further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your PMV is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to the specifications table for information.
WARNING! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your PMV. Exceeding the weight
capacity voids your warranty. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property
damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your PMV. Carrying passengers on your PMV may
affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.
INCLINE INFORMATION
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe access.
Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on
your PMV.
Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
Take wide swings with your PMV around any tight corners. If you do that, the PMV's rear wheels will follow
a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.
When driving down a ramp, keep the PMV's speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a
safely controlled descent.
Avoid sudden stops and starts.
