    I N T R O D U C T I O N SAFETY WELCOME to Pride Mobility Products Corporation (Pride). The product you have purchased combines state of the art components with safety, comfort and styling in mind. We are confident the design features will provide you with the conveniences you expect during your daily activities.
  • Page 5 I I . S A F E T Y PRODUCT SAFETY SYMBOLS The symbols below are used on the PMV to identify warnings, mandatory actions, and prohibited actions. It is very important for you to read and understand them completely. Pinch/Crush points created during assembly.
  • Page 6 I I . S A F E T Y Contact with tools can cause electrical shock. Front-to-rear plug orientation. Do not raise or lower the power seat while the PMV is in motion. Do not remove anti-tip wheels. Do not use a cell phone, walkie/talkie, laptop, or other radio transmitter while operating.
  • Page 7 I I . S A F E T Y GENERAL MANDATORY! Do not operate your new PMV for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owner’s manual. Your PMV is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the PMV user.
  • Page 8 I I . S A F E T Y PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK Get to know the feel of your PMV and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check before each use to make sure your PMV operates smoothly and safely. For details on how to perform these necessary inspections, see XI.
  • Page 9 I I . S A F E T Y When climbing an incline, try to keep your PMV moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then acceler- ate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest setting and driving in the forward direction only.
  • Page 10 I I . S A F E T Y When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the center of gravity of you and your PMV toward the front of the PMV for improved stability. NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the powered PMV may "rollback"...
  • Page 11 I I . S A F E T Y OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES Your PMV is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces com- posed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognises that there will be times when you will encoun- ter other surface types.
  • Page 12 I I . S A F E T Y INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS Exposure of your PMV to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your PMV proceed to shelter at the earliest oppurtunity. Thoroughly dry your PMV before storing, charging, or operating your PMV.
  • Page 13 I I . S A F E T Y 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.
  • Page 14 I I . S A F E T Y MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a person while seated in a PMV. Although your PMV may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide proper restraint during motor vehicle transport.
  • Page 15 I I . S A F E T Y POSITIONING BELTS Your authorized Pride Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your PMV safely. WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your PMV, make sure it is fastened securely.

  • Page 16: Emi/Rfi

    I I I . E M I / R F I Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI) Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles. The interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) trans- mitters, wireless computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles.

  • Page 23: Batteries And Charging

    V I . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G Your PMV requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an off-board charging system. ! Charge your PMV’s batteries prior to using it for the first time.
  • Page 24 V I . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G 3. Make certain that the manual freewheel lever is in the drive position. 4. Plug the 3-pin charger power cord into the off-board charger port.
  • Page 25 V I . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G What if my PMV’s batteries won’t charge? ! Ensure the red (+) and black (-) battery cables are connected properly to the battery terminals. ! Ensure both battery harnesses that extend from the batteries are plugged into their mating harness leading to the charger.
  • Page 26 V I . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G What type and size of battery should I use? We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel Cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance.
  • Page 27 V I . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G More importantly, it takes a few charging cycles (partial draining followed by full recharging) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle battery’s peak performance and long life.

  • Page 28: Operation

    V I I . O P E R A T I O N BEFORE GETTING ON YOUR PMV ! Have you fully charged the batteries? See VI. “Batteries and Charging.” ! Is the manual freewheel lever in the drive (backward) position? Never leave the manual freewheel lever pushed forward unless you are manually pushing your PMV.

  • Page 36 B A S I C T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.
