I. INTRODUCTION SAFETY WELCOME to Pride Mobility Products Corporation (Pride). The product you have purchased combines stateof-the art components with safety, comfort, and styling in mind. We are confident the design features will provide you with the conveniences you expect during your daily activities. Understanding how to safely operate and care for this product should bring you years of trouble free operations and service.
II. SAFETY GENERAL MANDATORY! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owners manual. Your 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 scooter user.
II. SAFETY PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check before each use to make sure your scooter operates smoothly and safely. Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter: n Check for proper tire inflation (if equipped with pneumatic tires). n Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded. n Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly.
II. SAFETY When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your scooter starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever.
II. SAFETY When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the center of gravity of you and your scooter toward the front of the scooter for improved stability. NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the powered scooter may "rollback" approximately 1 foot before the brake engages.
II. SAFETY OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditionsdry, level surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.
II. SAFETY INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS Exposure of your scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your scooter proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry your scooter before storing, charging, or operating your scooter.
II. SAFETY 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 scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your scooter gently and slowly backwards to pull the door open. ELEVATORS Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
II. SAFETY MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a person while seated in a scooter. Although your scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide proper restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle seat with safety belts fastened securely.
II. SAFETY REACHING AND BENDING Avoid reaching or bending while driving your scooter. When reaching, bending, or leaning while seated on your scooter, it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the scooter from tipping. Pride recommends that the scooter user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional. WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the floor.
III. EMI/RFI Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI) WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.

V I . B AT T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G Your scooter requires two sealed, maintenance free, 12-volt, 32 AH batteries. n Charge the batteries prior to using your scooter for the first time. n Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly. READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate strength of your batteries using a color code. See figure 7.
V I . B AT T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G BATTERIES AND CHARGING-FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS) How does the charger work? When your scooters battery voltage is low, the charger works harder and sends more electrical current to the batteries to bring up their charge. As the voltage of the batteries approaches a full charge, the charger sends less and less electrical current to the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent to them from the charger is at nearly zero amperage.
V I . B AT T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G How can I get maximum range or distance per charge? Rarely will you have ideal driving conditionssmooth, flat, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves. You will often face hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind. All of these driving conditions affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per battery charge.
V I . B AT T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your scooters specific electrical demands. Fresh batteries arrive daily at Pride and are shipped fully charged to our customers. During shipping, the batteries may encounter temperature extremes that may influence their initial performance. Heat diminishes the charge on the battery; cold slows the available power and extends the time needed to recharge the battery.
VII. OPERATION BEFORE GETTING ON YOUR SCOOTER n Have you fully charged the batteries? See VI. Batteries and Charging. n Is the manual freewheel lever in the drive (up) position? Never leave the scooter in freewheel mode unless you are manually pushing your scooter. GETTING ONTO YOUR SCOOTER WARNING!

X. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge. DIAGNOSTIC FLASH CODES The diagnostic flash codes for your scooter are designed to help you perform basic troubleshooting quickly and easily.
X. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING What if the main circuit breaker repeatedly trips? n Charge the scooters batteries more frequently. See VI. Batteries and Charging. n If the problem continues, have both of your scooters batteries load tested by your authorized Pride Provider. n You may also perform the load test yourself. Battery load testers are available at most automotive parts stores. n Follow the directions supplied with the load tester. n See VI. Batteries and Charging or IV.
