II. SAFETY
GENERAL
WARNING! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading and
understanding this owners manual.
Your scooter 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 the authorised 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.
MODIFICATIONS
Your scooter has been designed and engineered to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of
accessories 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. Unauthorised modifications may result in
personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
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.

II. SAFETY
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities. It is recommended 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 X. 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.
TYRE INFLATION
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least
once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tyres and help ensure the smooth
operation of your scooter.
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 scooters front wheel(s) around any tight corners. If you do that, the scooters
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 scooters speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to
ensure a safely controlled descent. See IV. Your Rally.
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.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your scooter. Carrying passengers on your scooter may
result in personal injury and/or property damage.
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! Inflate your scooter drive tyres from a regulated air source with an available pressure
gauge. Minimum air pressure for scooter drive tyres is 30-35 psi. Inflating your tyres from an
unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tyre and/or personal injury.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorised Pride provider for assistance.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight limit of 136 kg, 21 stone (300 lbs.).
8Rally
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 speed adjustment 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.
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 1and 1A illustrate your scooters stability and its ability to
climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.
These tests were conducted with the scooters seat in the highest position and adjusted rearward on the seat
base to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your scooters ability to travel up
inclines is affected by your weight, your scooters speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your
scooter setup.
FIGURE 1A. MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED RALLY 4-WHEEL INCLINE ANGLE
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 8.7% may put your scooter in an
unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.

II. SAFETY
FIGURE 2A. INCREASED STABILITYDRIVING POSITION
FIGURE 2. NORMAL DRIVING POSITION
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the centre 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.

II. SAFETY
WARNING! Do not drive 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 rearward down any step, kerb, or other
obstacle. his may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any kerb you may be required to
ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.
WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a kerb that has a height greater than 5 cm (2 in.).
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditionsdry, level surfaces
composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you
will encounter 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 scooters 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.
