Elevators; Lift/Elevation Products; Batteries; Battery Disposal And Recycling - Pride HURRICANE Owner's Manual

ELEVATORS

Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
If you are in the doorway of a elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge
or allow the rubber door edge to contact the PMV and the door will reopen.
Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or PMV accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
NOTE: If your PMV'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 PMV in
small spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.

LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS

If you will be transporting your PMV during travel, you may find it necessary to use a vehicle-mounted
lift system or elevation product to aid in transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the
warnings, 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 PMV 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 unit 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 when handling batteries and
wash hands after handling.
WARNING! PMV 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.

BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING

If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag. Contact your local
waste disposal agency or your authorized Pride Provider for instructions on disposal and battery recycling,
which is our recommended course of action.
PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period
of time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle
control lever contact.
