Safety Precautions - Pride Laser Owner's Manual

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

n Do not operate your new Laser for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owner’s
manual.
n Do not carry passengers on your Laser.
n Do not leave the key in the key switch when your Laser is unattended.
n Make certain that the seat is locked into place and that the key is removed from the key switch before getting
on or off of your Laser. Also make certain that the seat is in a locked position when you operate your Laser.
n Reduce your Laser’s speed when you are operating it on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
n Reduce your Laser’s speed when you are driving it around a corner.
n Never drive your Laser across the side of a hill or diagonally up or down a hill. Never stop, if possible, while
driving up or down an incline.
n Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
n Proceed with caution when driving near a raised surface, unprotected ledges, or drop offs (curbs, porches,
stairs, etc.).
n Never remove your Laser’s anti-tip wheels or modify the Laser in any way that is not authorized by Pride.
n Use extreme caution when operating your Laser on busy streets and in parking lots or shopping malls and
never ride your Laser where you cannot safely and legally walk. Consult local municipal or state agencies with
regard to operating your Laser on public roadways.
n Do not operate your Laser while you are under the influence of alcohol.
n Check with your physician if you are taking any medications that may affect your ability to operate your Laser
safely.
n Keep your hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard when you are operating your Laser.
n Make certain that the tires are properly inflated (30 psi).
n Never use your Laser as a seat in a moving vehicle.
n Make certain that the Laser’s batteries are properly secured when you transport your Sport Scooter in an-
other vehicle.
n Disconnect your Laser’s batteries if you will not be using the Sport Scooter for more than 48 hours.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Do not expose the electronics to any type of moisture at any time (i.e., rain, snow, mist,
or washing the Sport Scooter). Such exposure can damage the electronics. Never attempt to ride
a Sport Scooter that has been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
WARNING! Do not operate or store the Sport Scooter where it may be exposed to inclement
weather conditions such as rain, snow, mist, and below-freezing temperatures (such as storage on
an outside car/van lift). Attempting to operate the Sport Scooter in such conditions can damage
the electronics and potentially result in loss of control.
WARNING! Do not operate a Sport Scooter in icy or slippery conditions or on salted surfaces (i.e.,
walks or roads). Such use may result in an accident, personal injury, or adversely affect the
performance and/or safety of your Sport Scooter.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery.
This damages the battery and may cause personal injury. Attempting to charge a battery in
freezing conditions does not prevent a battery from freezing.
