Pride Mobility GT Owner's Manual page 5

GENERAL
MANDATORY! Do not operate your new scooter for the fi rst time without completely reading and
understanding this owner's manual and the Consumer Safety Guide.
Your scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. We provide an extensive
variety of products to best fi t the individual needs of the scooter user. Please be aware that the fi nal selection and
purchasing decision regarding the type of scooter to be used is the responsibility of the scooter user, who is capable
of making such a decision.
There are certain situations where the scooter user will need to practice operating the scooter in the presence of a
trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defi ned as a family member or someone capable of assisting a scooter
user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you will
need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confi dent control as you maneuver
through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
Additional general information can be found on the supplemental information sheets and booklets included in your
Owner's Package. Please fully read and review the information, and keep it readily available for future reference.
Below are some precautions, tips and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed to operating
the scooter safely.
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities. We recommend that you perform a safety check before
each use to make sure your scooter operates smoothly and safely.
Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:
 Check the condition of the tires. Make sure they are not damaged or excessively worn.
 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 to ensure they operate properly.
 Check the battery condition meter to ensure the batteries are fully charged.
 Ensure the manual freewheel lever is in drive mode before sitting on the scooter.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized dealer for assistance. Please refer to the Contact Information
insert in your Owner's Package.
BRAKING INFORMATION
Your scooter is equipped with these powerful brake systems:
 Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the center/
stop position.
 Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop or when
power is removed from the system for any reason.
