REACHING AND BENDING
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your Travel Scooter. Bending forward creates the risk of accidental
throttle control lever contact. Bending to the side while seated creates the risk of tipping. It is important to
maintain a stable centre of gravity and keep the Travel Scooter from tipping. Pride recommends that the
Travel Scooter user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence
of a qualified attendant.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the
Travel Scooter deck or from either side of the Travel Scooter. Movements such as these
may change your center of gravity and the weight distribution of the Travel Scooter and
cause your Travel Scooter to tip.
PROHIBITED! Keep your hands away from the tires when driving. Be aware that loose
fitting clothing can become caught in drive tires.
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS/PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS
The Travel Scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her Travel Scooter. This
includes awareness of safety issues when taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has
specific physical limitations.
WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter
medication or if you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations
may impair your ability to operate your Travel Scooter in a safe manner.
ALCOHOL/SMOKING
The Travel Scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her Travel Scooter. This
includes awareness of safety issues while under the influence of alcohol, or while smoking.
WARNING! Do not operate your Travel Scooter while you are under the influence of
alcohol, as this may impair your ability to operate the Travel Scooter in a safe manner.
WARNING! Pride strongly recommends that you do not smoke cigarettes while seated on
your Travel Scooter, although the Travel Scooter seat has passed the necessary testing
requirements for cigarette smoking. You must adhere to the following safety guidelines
if you decide to smoke cigarettes while seated on your Travel Scooter.
Do not leave lit cigarettes unattended.
Keep ashtrays a safe distance from the seat cushions.
Always make sure cigarettes are completely extinguished before disposal.
