OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your Sport 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 Sport Scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed
soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your Sport Scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.
n Reduce your Sport Scooters speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
n Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
n Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
n If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
WARNING! You should not operate your Sport Scooter on public streets and roadways. Be
aware that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your Sport
Scooter. Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and
then proceed with extreme caution.
PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADWAYS
NOTE: Safety accessories like fluorescent flags are available to order from your authorized Pride Provider.
