Braking Information; Outdoor Driving Surfaces - Pride Hurricane Owner's Manual

BRAKING INFORMATION

Your Hurricane is equipped with two powerful brake systems:
1. Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the center/
stop position; and
2. Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or when
power is removed from the system for any reason.
Brake engagement is far more abrupt at higher speeds. It is important that you know when the brakes will engage,
and that you are braced for the resulting deceleration.
WARNING! Your Hurricane can decelerate very quickly. Do not decelerate or turn abruptly when
traveling at high speed unless absolutely necessary. If it is absolutely necessary to decelerate or
turn abruptly when traveling at high speed, brace yourself by gripping the tiller tightly and planting
your feet firmly against the floorboard. Users who cannot grip the tiller tightly and/or plant their feet
firmly against the floorboard should avoid decelerating from or turning abruptly at high speed, and
therefore should avoid traveling at high speed. Serious personal injury and property damage can
result from falling forward as your Hurricane decelerates quickly unless you brace yourself firmly.

OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES

Your Hurricane is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces
composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognises that there will be times when you will
encounter other surface types. For this reason, your Hurricane is designed to perform admirably on packed soil,
grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your Hurricane safely on lawns and in park areas.
n Reduce your Hurricane’s speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
n Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
n Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
n If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, KERBS, ETC.)
Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs (kerbs,
porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your Hurricane climb or descend an obstacle that is inordinately
high. Serious personal injury and/or damage may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your Hurricane proceed rearward down any step, kerb, or other
obstacle. This may cause the Hurricane to tip and cause personal injury.
