II. SAFETY

PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK

GettoknowthefeelofyourPMVanditscapabilities.Pride recommends that you perform a safety checkbefore

eachuse tomake sure your PMV operates smoothlyand safely. For detailson howto perform these necessary

inspections,seeXI.“CareandMaintenance.”

Performthe followinginspectionspriortousingyourPMV:

!Checkforproper tire inflation(ifequippedwithpneumatictires).

!Checkallelectrical connections. Make suretheyare tight and notcorroded.

!Checkallharness connections. Makesurethey are securedproperly.

!Check the brakes.

!Checkbattery charge.

Ifyoudiscovera problem, contact your authorizedPrideProviderfor assistance.

TIRE INFLATION

IfyourPMVis equipped with pneumatictires,youshouldcheck or have theairpressurechecked at least oncea

week.Properinflation pressures willprolongthelife of yourtiresand help ensurethesmoothoperation of your

PMV.

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

tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in

loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain 30-35 psi tire pressure

in pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious

personal injury and/or damage to your PMV.

WARNING! Inflate your PMV tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure

gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting

in a burst tire and/or personal injury.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your PMVisratedforamaximumweightcapacity. Refertothespecificationstableforinformation.

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

injury and damage to your PMV. 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 PMV. Carrying passengers may result in personal

injury and/or property damage.

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

incline. Drive your PMV straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip

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

WARNING! Do not drive your PMV across the side of an incline or diagonally up or down an

incline; do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down 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 PMV in freewheel

mode while seated on it or standing next to it.

WARNING! Even though your PMV is capable of climbing slopes greater than those

illustrated in figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or

any other specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your

PMV, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your PMV.

Figure 1. Maximum Recommended Incline Angles

WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is shown in figure

1 may put your PMV in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.

WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 15 lbs. Never fill the rear

basket with contents exceeding 15 lbs.

II. SAFETY

CORNERING INFORMATION

Excessivelyhigh corneringspeeds cancreate the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of

tippinginclude,butare not limitedto,corneringspeed,steeringangle(howsharplyyouare turning), unevenroad

surfaces,inclinedroadsurfaces,ridingfromanareaoflowtractiontoanareaofhightraction(suchaspassingfrom

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

steeringangle(i.e.,lessenthesharpnessoftheturn)topreventyourPMV from tipping.

WARNING!

When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your PMV at higher

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

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

BRAKING INFORMATION

Your PMV is equipped with thesepowerfulbrakesystems:

!Regenerative:Useselectricitytorapidlyslowthe vehicle when the throttle control leverreturnstothecenter/

youandyourPMVtoward the front ofthePMVfor improved stability.

NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the

powered PMV may "rollback" approximately 1 foot before the brake engages. If the throttle control

lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered PMV may "rollback" approximately 3 feet before

the brake engages.
