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 no 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! Travel Travel 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. Charging a frozen battery may result in damage to the 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. Protective caps should be

installed over all battery terminals. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged.

BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING

If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and contact your local
disposal agency, recycling center, or authorised Pride Provider for instructions on disposal and on battery recy-
cling, which is our recommended course of action.

MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT

Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your Travel Scooter while traveling in a motor vehicle. The
Travel Scooter should be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with the batteries removed
and properly secured.

WARNING! Do not sit on your Travel Scooter while it is in a moving vehicle.

WARNING! Always be sure your Travel Scooter and its batteries are properly secured when

it is being transported. Batteries should be secured in an upright position and protective

caps should be installed on the battery terminals. Batteries should not be transported

with any flammable or combustible items.

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.
