Outdoor Driving Surfaces; Streets And Roadways; Stationary Obstacles (Steps, Kerbs, Etc.); Correct Kerb Approach - Pride Mobility Ranger Owner's Manual

OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES

Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions - dry, level surfaces
composed of concrete, blacktop or tarmac. However, Pride recognises that there will be times when you
will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your scooter is designed to perform admirably on
packed soil, grass and gravel. Feel free to use your scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.
Reduce your scooter's speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.

STREETS AND ROADWAYS

WARNING! Exercise extreme caution when operating the scooter on footpaths,
pavements, bridleways, pedestrian areas and roads. Obey all local pedestrian traffic
rules.

STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, KERBS, ETC.)

WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (kerbs,
porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter climb or descend an obstacle that is
inordinately high.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed rearward down any step, kerb
or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip.
WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any kerb you may be
required to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 4.
WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a kerb that has a height greater than 5 cm (2 in.).
