Safety - Pride Cyclone Owner's Manual

GENERAL
WARNING! Do not operate your new Sport Scooter for the first time without completely
reading and understanding this owner’s manual.
Your Sport Scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an
extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the Sport Scooter user. Please be aware that the final
selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of Sport Scooter to be used is the responsibility of the Sport
Scooter user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor,
physical therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted the Sport
Scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Pride Provider in
the instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the Sport Scooter user will need to practice
operating the Sport Scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family
member or care professional specially trained in assisting a Sport Scooter user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your Sport Scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you
will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver
through doorways, on and off lifts, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help the user become accustomed to
operating the Sport Scooter safely.
