Lifts; Lift/Elevation Products; Batteries; Battery Disposal And Recycling - Pride Mobility Ranger Owner's Manual

LIFTS

Modern lifts have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
If you are in the doorway of a lift when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or
allow the rubber door edge to contact the scooter and the door will reopen.
Use care that handbags, packages or scooter accessories do not become caught in lift doors.
NOTE: If your scooter's turning radius is greater than 152.4 cm (60 in.), it may be difficult to manoeu-
vre in lifts and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or manoeuvre your scooter in
small spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.

LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS

If you will be traveling with your scooter, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product to aid
in transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the instructions, specifications and safety
information set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product.
WARNING! Never sit on your scooter when it is being used in connection with any
type of lift/elevation product. Your scooter was not designed with such use in
mind, and any damage or injury incurred from such use is not the responsibility of
Pride.

BATTERIES

In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.
MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash
hands after handling.
WARNING! Scooter batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable
to lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques and
avoid lifting beyond your capacity.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen
battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in damage to the battery.
WARNING! Connect the battery harnesses in the proper manner. RED (+) cables
must be connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK (-) cables must
be connected to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. Protective caps should be
installed over all battery terminals. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged.

BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING

If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag. Contact your local
waste disposal agency or your authorised Pride Dealer for instructions on disposal and battery recycling,
which is our recommended course of action.
PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period
of time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle
control lever contact.
