Safety - Pride Victory Viper Owner's Manual

GENERAL
WARNING! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading and
understanding this owner’s manual.
Your scooter 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 scooter user. Please be aware that the
final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of scooter to be used is the responsibility of the
scooter user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical
doctor, physical therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted
the scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorised Pride
provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the scooter user will need to practice
operating the scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family
member or care professional specially trained in assisting a scooter user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which
you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as
you maneuver through doorways, on and off lifts, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
MODIFICATIONS
Your scooter has been designed and engineered to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of
accessories is available from your authorised Pride provider to further customize your scooter to better suit
your needs and/or preferences. However, under no circumstances should you modify, add, remove, or
disable any feature, part, or function of your scooter.
WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way. Unauthorised modifications may result in
personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
REMOVABLE PARTS
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a scooter by any of its removable parts. Personal injury
and damage to the scooter may result.
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
Your scooter’s road performance features may be influenced by electromagnetic fields caused by cellular
telephones or other radiating devices, such as hand-held radios, radio and television stations, wireless
computer links, microwave sources, and paging transmitters.
