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 button 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 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. FIGURE 2. NORMAL DRIVING POSITION FIGURE 3. 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 scooters. 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. That is, each 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.

Your Legend is an indoor/ outdoor scooter designed to travel primarily on smooth surfaces, such as sidewalks, roads, parking lots, floors, and driveways. For easy transportation or storage, you can disassemble your Legend into seven components. See figure 6. SEAT FRONT SECTION REAR SECTION REAR SHROUD BATTERIES FIGURE 6.

V. Y O U R L E G E N D Status LED The Status LED alerts you to electrical problems that may occur with the Legend. The LED remains constantly lit while your scooter is on. If the Legend develops an electrical problem, the status LED will flash a code. See XI. Basic Troubleshooting for troubleshooting flash codes.
V. Y O U R L E G E N D Manual Freewheel Lever Whenever you need or want to push your Legend for short distances, you can put it in freewheel mode. WARNING! Before placing your Legend into or taking it out of freewheel mode, make certain that the key is removed from the key switch. Even though the motor of your Legend is disengaged from the drive system when your scooter is put in freewheel mode, the motor can still run if the throttle lever is pushed. Never sit on a scooter when it is in freewheel mode.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING Your Legend uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an onboard 3-amp charging system designed for ease of use and convenience. n Charge your Legends batteries prior to using it for the first time. n Keep your batteries fully charged to keep your Legend running trouble free. Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely: 1. Position your scooter close to a standard wall outlet. 2.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING AUTO SHUTOFF FEATURE The Legend is equipped with an energy saving auto shutoff feature. n If the Legends key is left in the on position and the scooter remains inactive for approximately 20 minutes, the scooter will shut down. This feature is designed to preserve battery life. To restore power back to the Legend: n Turn the key counterclockwise to the off position. n Turn the key clockwise to the on position. Your Legend will now resume normal operation.
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. 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.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your Legends 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.
