REACHING AND BENDING
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your PMV. Bending forward creates the risk of accidental throttle control
lever contact. Bending to the side while seated creates the risk of tipping. It is important to maintain a stable center
of gravity and keep the PMV from tipping. Pride recommends that the PMV user determine his/her personal
limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified attendant.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the
PMV deck or from either side of the PMV. Movements such as these may change your
center of gravity and the weight distribution of the PMV and cause your PMV to tip, possibly
resulting in personal injury.
WARNING! Prevent personal injury! Keep your hands away from the tires when driving. Be
aware that loose fitting clothing can become caught in drive tires.
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 PMV safely.
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your PMV, make sure it is
fastened securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the PMV.
II. SAFETY
GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR PMV
Getting onto and off of your PMV requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety tips when
getting onto and off of your PMV:
! Remove the key from the key switch.
! Ensure that your PMV is not in freewheel mode. See IV. “Your PMV.”
! Make certain that the seat is locked into place.
! Flip up the armrests up to make getting onto and off of the PMV easier.
WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the PMV seat to prevent the PMV
from tipping and causing injury.
WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause
the PMV to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the
PMV to tip and cause personal injury.
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. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
