Pride Mobility SC40X Owner's Manual page 15

ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
If you are in the doorway of an elevator 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.
Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Travel Scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator
doors.
NOTE: If your Travel Scooter's turning radius is greater than 60 in. (152.4 cm), it may be difficult to
maneuver in elevators and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneuver your
Travel Scooter in small spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
LIFT SYSTEMS/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you will be traveling with your Travel Scooter, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product
to aid in transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the instructions, specifications, and
safety information set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation 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 Travel 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 Travel Scooter 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 while handling batteries and
wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Travel 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.
BATTERIES AND RECYCLING
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and contact your
local waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for instructions on disposal and battery recycling,
which is our recommended course of action.
