II. SAFETY

GENERAL

WARNING! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading

and understanding this owners manual.

Your Dash is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an extensive

variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the scooter user. Please be aware that the final selection and

purchasing decision regarding the type of scooter to be used is the responsibility of the scooter user who is capable

of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e. medical doctor physical therapist etc.).

The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted the

scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or your authorized Pride Provider

in the instruction process for the use of the product.

There are certain situations including some medical conditions where the scooter user will need to practice

operating the scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family member

or care professional specially trained in assisting a scooter user in various daily living activities.

As you begin using your scooter during daily activities you will probably encounter situations in which you will

need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver

through doorways on and off elevators up and down ramps and over moderate terrain.

Below are some precautions tips and other safety considerations that will help the user become accustomed to

operating the scooter safely.

MODIFICATIONS

Pride has designed and engineered your Dash to provide maximum mobility and utility. However under no

circumstances should you modify add remove or disable any feature part or function of your scooter.

WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way not authorized by your local Pride Provider.

Unauthorized modifications may result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

REMOVABLE PARTS

WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a scooter by any of its removable parts. Personal

injury and damage to the scooter may result.

Dash/Rev C/July 2003 www.pridemobility.com

PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK

Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check before

each use to make sure your scooter operates smoothly and safely. For details on how to perform these necessary

inspections see XI. Care and Maintenance.

Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:

nCheck all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.

nCheck the brakes.

nCheck battery charge.

If you discover a problem contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to the specifications table for information.

II. SAFETY

WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result in personal

injury and damage to your scooter. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or

property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.

WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your scooter. Carrying passengers may result in

personal injury and/or property damage.

GETTING ONTOAND OFF OF YOUR SCOOTER

Getting onto and off of your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety tips

when getting onto and off of your scooter:

nPower down your scooter. See VII. Operation.

nEnsure that your scooter is not in freewheel mode. See V. Your Dash.

nMake certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch.

WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the scooter seat to prevent the

scooter from tipping and causing injury.

WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause

the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the

scooter to tip and cause personal injury.

POSITIONING BELTS

Your authorized Pride Provider therapist(s) and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining

your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your scooter safely.

WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your scooter, make sure it is

fastened securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the scooter.

II. SAFETY

WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend slopes steeper than that shown in figure 1

may put your scooter in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal

injury.

WARNING! Never fill the rear basket with contents exceeding 13 lbs.

Figure 1. Maximum Recommended Incline Angles

Other inclines may be natural or if man-made not designed specifically for scooters. Figure 1 illustrates your

scooters stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.

These tests were conducted with the Dashs seat in the highest position and adjusted backward on the seat base to

its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your scooters ability to travel up inclines is

affected by your weight your scooters speed your angle of approach to the incline and your scooter setup.

INCLINE INFORMATION

More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination designed for easy and safe access. Some

ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on your scooter.

nProceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.

nTake wide swings with your scooters front wheel around any tight corners. If you do that the scooters rear

wheels will follow a wide arc not cut the corner short and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.

nWhen driving down a ramp keep the scooters speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a

safely controlled descent. See V. Your Dash.

nAvoid sudden stops and starts.

When climbing an incline try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop start up again slowly and then

accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest

setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your scooter starts to move down the incline faster than you

anticipated or desired allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever. Then push the

throttle control lever forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.

WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the

incline. Drive your scooter straight up the incline. his greatly reduces the possibility of a

tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.

WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas

covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).

WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the scooter in freewheel

mode while seated on it or standing next to it.

Dash/Rev C/July 2003 www.pridemobility.com

II. SAFETY

Figure2A. IncreasedStabilityDrivingPosition

Figure 2. Normal Driving Position

When you approach an incline it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the center of gravity of

you and your scooter toward the front of the scooter for improved stability.

WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in

this manual.

CORNERING INFORMATION

Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of

tipping include but are not limited to cornering speed steering angle (how sharply you are turning) uneven road

surfaces inclined road surfaces riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from

a grassy area to a paved area  especially at high speed while turning) and abrupt directional changes. High

cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner reduce your speed and

steering angle (i.e. lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your scooter from tipping.

WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your scooter at higher

speeds, do not corner sharply. his greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. o avoid

personal injury or property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.

BRAKING INFORMATION

Your scooter is equipped with these powerful brake systems:

1. Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the center/

stop position.

2. Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop or when

power is removed from the system for any reason.

II. SAFETY

OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES

Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditionsdry level surfaces com-

posed of concrete blacktop or asphalt. However Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will encoun-

ter other surface types. For this reason your scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed soil grass and

gravel. Feel free to use your scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.

nReduce your scooters speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.

nAvoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.

nAvoid loosely packed gravel and sand.

nIf you feel unsure about a driving surface avoid that surface.

STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)

Always approach a curb straight on whether ascending or descending it. See figures 3 and 3A.

WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs (curbs,

porches, stairs, etc.).

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter climb or descend an obstacle that is

inordinately high. Serious personal injury and/or damage may result.

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed backward down any step, curb, or

other obstacle. his may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.

WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be required

to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.

WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than two inches.
