II. SAFETY
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your Travel Scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces
composed of concrete, blacktop or tarmac. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will
encounter other surface types. For this reason, your Travel Scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed
soil, grass and gravel. Feel free to use your Travel Scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.
! Reduce your Travel Scooter’s speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
! Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
! Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
! If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADWAYS
WARNING! Exercise extreme caution when operating the Travel Scooter on footpaths, pavements,
bridleways, pedestrian areas and roads. Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, KERBS, ETC.)
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (kerbs,
porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your Travel Scooter climb or descend an obstacle that
is inordinately high.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your Travel Scooter proceed rearward down any step,
kerb or other obstacle. This may cause the Travel Scooter to tip.
WARNING! Be sure your Travel Scooter is traveling perpendicular to any kerb you may be
required to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 4.
WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a kerb that has a height greater than 5 cm.
