Ii. Safety - Pride Rally shopper Owner's Manual

PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities. It is recommended that you perform a safety check before
each use to make sure your scooter operates smoothly and safely. For details on how to perform these necessary
inspections, see XI. “Care and Maintenance.”
Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:
n Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain 30-35 psi in each tire (if equipped with pneumatic tires).
n Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
n Check all controller connections to the utility tray. Make sure they are secured properly.
n Check the brakes.
n Check battery charge.
TIRE INFLATION (If Equipped With Pneumatic Tires)
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least once
a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth operation of your
scooter.
WARNING! It is critically important that 30-35 psi tire pressure be maintained in pneumatic
tires at all times. Failure to maintain 30-35 psi tire pressure in pneumatic tires at all times
may result in catastrophic tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious personal injury and/or
damage to your scooter.
WARNING! Inflate your scooter drive tires from a regulated air source with an available
pressure gauge. Minimum air pressure for scooter drive tires is 30-35 psi. Inflating your
tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tire and/or
personal injury.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride provider for assistance.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight limit of 400 lbs.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result in personal
injury and damage to your scooter. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or
property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your scooter. Carrying passengers on your scooter
may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
INCLINE INFORMATION
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe access.
Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on
your scooter.
n Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
n Take wide swings with your scooter’s front wheel(s) around any tight corners. If you do that, the scooter’s rear
wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.
n When driving down a ramp, keep the scooter’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a
safely controlled descent. See V. “Your Rally Shopper.”
n Avoid sudden stops and starts.
