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 XI. Care and Maintenance.
Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:
n Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
n Check the brakes.
n Check battery charge.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorised Pride provider for assistance.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your Sonic is rated for a 113 kg, 18 stone (250-lb.) maximum weight limit.
II. SAFETY
INCLINE INFORMATION
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination designed for easy and safe access.
Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on
your scooter.
n Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
n Take wide swings with your scooters front wheel around any tight corners. If you do that, the scooters rear
wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.
n When driving down a ramp, keep the scooters speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a
safely controlled descent. See IV. Your Sonic.
n Avoid sudden stops and starts.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result in personal injury and
damage to your scooter. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage
resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your Sonic. Carrying passengers may result in personal
injury and/or property damage.
