Pride Legend Owner's Manual page 8

Controlled incline testing was conducted with the Scooter’s seat in the highest position, adjusted backward on the
seat base to the farthest rearward position. These tests show that your Scooter’s ability to travel up inclines is
affected by your weight, your Scooter’s speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your Scooter setup.
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 3 and 4. This shifts the center of gravity of
you and your Scooter toward the front of the Scooter for improved stability.

WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in
this manual.
DRIVING SURFACES
Your Scooter was designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions — dry, level surfaces
composed of concrete or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will operate your
Scooter on surfaces other than concrete or asphalt. For this reason, we also designed your Scooter to perform
admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel.
n Use your Scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.
n Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
n Packed soil, gravel, driveways, or roads will not present a problem for your Scooter.
n Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
n If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
