II. SAFETY
LIFTS
Modern lifts have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
! If you are in the doorway of a lift when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the
rubber door edge to contact the Travel Scooter and the door will reopen.
! Use care that pocketbooks, packages or Travel Scooter accessories do not become caught in lift doors.
NOTE: If your Travel Scooter’s turning radius is greater than 150 cm , it may be difficult to maneouver
in lifts and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneouver your Travel Scooter
in small spaces and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you will be traveling with your Travel Scooter, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product to aid in
transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the instructions, specifications and safety information set
forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product.
WARNING! Never sit on your Travel Scooter when it is being used in connection
with any type of lift/elevation product. Your Travel Scooter was not designed
with such use in mind and any damage or injury incurred from such use is not
the responsibility of Pride.
BATTERIES
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.
MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash
hands after handling.
WARNING! Scooter batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable
to lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques and
avoid lifting beyond your capacity.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen
battery.
WARNING! Connect the battery harnesses in the proper manner. RED (+) cables
must be connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK (-) cables must
be connected to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. REPLACE cables
immediately if damaged. Protective caps must be installed over all battery
terminals.
NOTE: If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and
contact your local disposal agency or authorised Pride Provider for instructions on disposal and bat-
tery recycling which is our recommended course of action.
