II. SAFETY
Perform the following inspections prior to using your PMV:
Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated
on each tire if equipped with pneumatic tires.
Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
Check all harness connections to the electronics tray. Make sure they are secured properly.
Check the brakes. See IX. “Care and Maintenance.”
Check battery charge. See IV. “Batteries and Charging.”
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.
TIRE INFLATION
If your PMV is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least
once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth
operation of your PMV.
WARNING! It is critically important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on
the tire 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 the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tires at all
times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.
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.
NOTE: If the tires on your PMV list the psi rating only, use the following conversion formulas to find
the bar or kPa rating: bar = psi x 0.06895; kPa = psi x 6.89476.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your PMV is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to the specifications table for information. Keep
in mind that the maximum weight capacity includes the combined weight of the user and any accessories
mounted to the PMV.
WARNING! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your PMV. Exceeding the weight
capacity voids your warranty. 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 on your PMV may
affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.
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 cor-
nering skills on your PMV.
Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
Take wide swings with your PMV around any tight corners. If you do that, the PMV’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.
When driving down a ramp, keep the PMV’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to
ensure a safely controlled descent. See III. “Your PMV.”
Avoid sudden stops and starts.
