STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Sport Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.
WARNING! Do not use your Sport Scooter to negotiate steps or escalators. You may cause
injury to yourself and to others and/or damage your Sport Scooter.
DOORS
n Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
n Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
n Drive your Sport Scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your Sport Scooter
gently and slowly rearwards to pull the door open.
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
n If you are in the doorway of a elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow
the rubber door edge to contact the Sport Scooter and the door will reopen.
n Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Sport Scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you will be traveling with your Sport 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 Sport Scooter when it is being used in connection with any
type of lift/elevation product. Your Sport 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.
WARNING! Sport Scooter batteries are heavy (refer to specifications table). Lifting weight
beyond your capacity could result in personal injury. If necessary, get someone physically
able to lift the Sport Scooter batteries for you.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery.
Charging a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.
WARNING! RED (+) cables must be connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK
(-) cables must be connected to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. Failure to connect
your battery harnesses in the proper manner may result in personal injury and/or damage
to your Sport Scooter. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged.
BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
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 informa-
tion on battery recycling, which is our recommended course of action.
