II. SAFETY

GENERAL

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

understanding this owners manual.

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

sive 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 the authorised 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.

MO IFICATIONS

Pride has designed and engineered your Scooter to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of acces-

sories is available from your authorised Pride provider to further customize your Scooter to better suit your needs

and/or preferences. 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 authorised by Pride. Unauthorised modifica-

tions may result in personal injury and/or damage to your Scooter.

Cyclone

II. SAFETY

PRE-RI E 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 for proper tyre inflation. Maintain 30-35 psi in each tyre (if equipped with pneumatic tyres).

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

nCheck all controller connections to the utility tray. Make sure they are secured properly.

nCheck the brakes.

nCheck battery charge.

WARNING! It is critically important that 30-35 psi tyre pressure be maintained in pneumatic tyres at

all times. Failure to maintain 30-35 psi tyre pressure in pneumatic tyres at all times may result in

catastrophic tyre and/or wheel failure, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to your

Scooter.

WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your Scooter. Carrying passengers on your Scooter may

result in personal injury and/or property damage.

If you discover a problem, contact your authorised Pride provider for assistance.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your Scooter is rated for a maximum 136-kg. weight limit.

INCLINE INFORMATION

More and more buildings have ramps with specified percents 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(s) 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 IV. Your Cyclone.

nAvoid sudden stops and starts.

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.

II. SAFETY

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 throttle control on 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! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than shown in figures 1 and 2 may put

your Scooter in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.

FIGURE 1. MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED INCLINE ANGLE FOR THE 3-WHEEL CYCLONE

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.

Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do not

necessarily share the same standard percent of slope. Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed

specifically for Scooters. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate your Cyclones stability and its ability to climb grades under

various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.

These tests were conducted with the Cyclone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 Cyclone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.

FIGURE 4. INCREASED STABILITY DRIVING POSITION

FIGURE 3. NORMAL DRIVING POSITION

When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 3 and 4. This shifts the center of gravity of you

and your Cyclone toward the front of the Scooter for improved stability.

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

manual.

II. SAFETY

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.

10 Cyclone

BRAKING INFORMATION

Your Scooter is equipped with two powerful brake systems:

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

stop position; and

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.

Brake engagement is far more abrupt at higher speeds. It is important that you know when the brakes will engage,

and that you are braced for the resulting deceleration.

WARNING! Your Scooter can decelerate very quickly. Do not decelerate or turn abruptly when

traveling at high speed unless absolutely necessary. If it is absolutely necessary to decelerate or

turn abruptly when traveling at high speed, brace yourself by gripping the tiller tightly and planting

your feet firmly against the floorboard. Users who cannot grip the tiller tightly and/or plant their feet

firmly against the floorboard should avoid decelerating from or turning abruptly at high speed, and

therefore should avoid traveling at high speed. Serious personal injury and property damage can

result from falling forward as your Scooter decelerates quickly unless you brace yourself firmly.

STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, KERBS, ETC.)

Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (kerbs,

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, kerb, or other

obstacle. his may cause the Scooter to tip and cause personal injury.

OUT OOR RIVING 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.
