Elevators; Batteries - Pride Mobility Go-Go Elite Traveller Owner's Manual

ELEVATORS

Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
! If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or
allow the rubber door edge to contact the Travel Scooter and the door will reopen.
! Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Travel Scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
NOTE: If your scooter's turning radius is greater than 60 in. (152.4 cm), it may be difficult to maneuver
in elevators and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneuver your Travel
Scooter in small spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you will be traveling with your Travel 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 Travel Scooter when it is being used in connection
with any type of lift/elevation product. Your Travel 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 while handling batteries and wash
hands after handling.
WARNING! Travel 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.
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.
NOTE: If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and call
your authorized Pride Provider for instructions on disposal. Your authorized Pride Provider will also
have the necessary information on battery recycling, which is our recommended course of action.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your Travel Scooter while traveling in a motor vehicle.
The Travel Scooter should be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with the batteries
removed and properly secured.
WARNING! Although your Travel Scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is
not designed to provide restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone travelling in a motor
vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle seat with safety belts fastened securely.
