Pride Sundancer User Manual page 6

GENERAL
WARNING! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading and
understanding this owner’s manual.
Your Sundancer 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 thera-
pist, 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 authorized 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 elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help the user become accustomed to
operating the Sundancer safely.
MODIFICATIONS
Pride has designed and engineered your Sundancer to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of
accessories is available from your authorized 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 Sundancer.
WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way not authorized by Pride. Unauthorized modifica-
tions may result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
