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. Or drive your scooter gently and
slowly backwards to pull the door open.
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).
n
If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge
or allow the rubber door edge to contact the scooter and the door will reopen.

Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you will be traveling with your Maxima, 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 infor-
mation set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product.
WARNING! Do not use your scooter to negotiate steps or escalators. You may cause
injury to yourself and to others and damage your Maxima.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Maximas are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.
WARNING! Scooter batteries are heavy. Lifting weight beyond your capacity could result
in personal injury. If necessary, get someone physically able to lift the batteries for you.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery.
Charging a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.
BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and call your autho-
rized Pride Provider for instructions on disposal. Your authorized Pride Provider will also have the neces-
sary information on battery recycling, which is our recommended course of action.
BATTERIES
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.
For more information about your Maximas batteries, see VI. Batteries and Charging.
PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period
of time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle
control lever contact. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
