I I . S A F E T Y GENERAL WARNING! 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.
I I . S A F E T Y 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. For details on how to perform these necessary inspections, see XII. Care and Maintenance. Perform the following inspections prior to using your Scooter: n Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain 30-35 psi in each tire (if equipped with pneumatic tires).
I I . S A F E T Y 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.
I I . S A F E T Y 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 Legend toward the front of the Scooter for improved stability. WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this manual. FIGURE 3. NORMAL DRIVING POSITION FIGURE 4. INCREASED STABILITY DRIVING POSITION CORNERING INFORMATION Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping.
I I . S A F E T Y BRAKING INFORMATION Your Scooter is equipped with two powerful brake systems: 1. Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the center/stop position; and 2. Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or when power is removed from the system for any reason.
I I . S A F E T Y PUBLIC ROADS AND PARKING LOTS WARNING! You should not operate your Scooter on public streets and roadways. Be aware that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your Scooter. Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme caution. NOTE: Safety accessories like reflectors, fluorescent flags, and various lighting packages are available to order from your authorized Pride provider.
I I . S A F E T Y STAIRS AND ESCALATORS Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator. WARNING! Do not use your Scooter to negotiate steps or escalators. You may cause injury to yourself and to others and damage your 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 Scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open.
I I . S A F E T Y 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.
I I . S A F E T Y 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.
I I I . E M I / R F I EMI/RFI WARNINGS Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause unintended motion of electric mobility vehicles. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). When electromagnetic energy adversely affects the operation of an electrical device, that adverse effect is called Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
I I I . E M I / R F I Are all electric Scooters susceptible to EMI/RFI? Each make and model of electric Scooter differs in its ability to resist EMI/RFI. Every Scooter has a particular level of resistance to EMI/RFI. This resistance is measured in volts per meter (V/m). A higher resistance level offers greater protection against EMI/RFI.

See figure 8. n The main circuit breaker reset button pops out when the breaker trips.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING Your Legend requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an onboard 3-amp charging system. n Charge your Legends batteries prior to using it 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 control console assembly indicates the approximate strength of your batteries using a color code.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES AND CHARGING-FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS) How does the charger work? When your Legends battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to the batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends less and less electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at nearly zero amperage.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING 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. Often, you will face hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind, all of which affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per battery charge.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING Why do my new batteries seem weak? Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries (nicads), and other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge. We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your Legends specific electrical demands.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING How should I store my Legend and its batteries? If you plan on not using your Legend for an extended period of time, it is best to: n Fully charge its batteries prior to storage. n Disconnect both black and white battery harnesses. n Store your Legend in a warm, dry environment. n Avoid storing your Legend where it will be exposed to temperature extremes. WARNING! If your Legends batteries do become frozen, do not attempt to charge them.
V I I . O P E R AT I O N BEFORE GETTING ON YOUR LEGEND n Have you fully charged the batteries? See VI. Batteries and Charging. n Is the manual freewheel lever in the drive (down) position? Never leave the manual freewheel lever pulled up unless you are manually pushing your Legend. GETTING ON YOUR LEGEND 1. Make certain that the key is removed from the key switch. 2.
