HANDBRAKE LEVER
The handbrake lever contains hydraulic fluid. When the lever is depressed, the fluid is pushed through the
brake line to engage the brake pads against the brake discs. The handbrake lever is a completely sealed
unit, meaning that the hydraulic fluid should not leak; however, there are certain safety measures that
should be taken if the handbrake lever becomes cracked or damaged.
Do not touch spilled material unless wearing protective equipment, such as safety goggles and gloves.
For small spills, cover the material with dry earth, sand, or other non-combustible absorbent material.
Once absorbed, enclose the material in a plastic bag and contact your local waste disposal agency for
proper disposal measures. Do not expose the material to waterways or sewers.
If the eyes are exposed, check for and remove contact lenses. Flush eyes with cool, clean, low-pressure
water while occasionally lifting and lowering the eyelids. Seek medical attention if excessive tearing,
redness, or pain persists.
If the skin is exposed, remove all contaminated clothing. Wipe off excess material and wash exposed
skin with soap and water. Seek medical attention if skin appears damaged or if irritation persists.
Thoroughly clean contaminated clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated leather goods.
If ingested, do not induce vomiting or give anything to drink unless directed to by a physician. Never
give anything by mouth to a person who is not fully conscious. Seek medical attention immediately.
If inhaled, move the affected individual to fresh air. If the affected individual is not breathing, imme-
diately begin rescue breathing. If breathing is difficult, 100% humidified oxygen should be adminis-
tered by a qualified individual. Seek medical attention immediately and keep the affected individual
warm and at rest.
If ignited, use dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, or water fog to extinguish.

OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level sur-
faces composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes 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.
Avoid 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.
