MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your scooter while traveling in a motor vehicle. The
scooter should be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with the batteries removed
and properly secured. In addition, all removable scooter parts, including the armrests, seat, and shroud
should be removed and/or properly secured during motor vehicle transport.

GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR SCOOTER
Getting onto and off of your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety
tips when getting onto and off of your scooter:
Remove the key from the key switch.
Ensure that your scooter is not in freewheel mode. See III. "Your Scooter."
Make certain that the seat is secured into place.
Pivot the armrests up to make getting onto and off of the scooter easier.

REACHING AND BENDING
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your scooter. Bending forward creates the risk of accidental
throttle control lever contact. Bending to the side while seated creates the risk of tipping. It is important to
maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the scooter from tipping. Pride recommends that the scooter
user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified
attendant.
