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 8 I I . S A F E T Y PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities.

Check for proper tyre inflation (if equipped with pneumatic tyres).
  • Page 9 I I . S A F E T Y When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then accelerate 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 centre of gravity of you and your scooter toward the front of the scooter for improved stability. NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the powered scooter may "rollback"...
  • Page 11 I I . S A F E T Y OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces composed of concrete or tarmac. 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 scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If sud- denly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your scooter, proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity.
