II. SAFETY
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a
person while seated in a scooter.
Although your scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide proper restraint
during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle
seat with safety belts fastened securely.
WARNING! Do not sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or
property damage may result.
WARNING! Always be sure your scooter and its batteries are properly secured when it is
being transported. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your
scooter.
SECUREMENT POINTS
Steel loops welded to the frame of your scooter provide securement points. These should only be used with an
unoccupied scooter and secured by an approved securement system in accordance with the manufacturers in-
structions. Pride makes no representation of suitability for use with specific securement systems nor can we antici-
pate the various situations that might arise in use of public transportation systems. For detailed instructions on the
use of securements refer to the applicable municipal transit authority and/or manufacturer of the system used.
WARNING! DO NOT leave the scooter in freewheel mode when tieing it down for transport.
WARNING! DO NOT use your scooter as a seat in a moving vehicle.
GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR SCOOTER
Getting onto and off of your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety tips
when getting onto and off of your scooter:
n Remove the key from the key switch.
n Ensure that your scooter is not in freewheel mode. See V. Your Scooter.
n Make certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch.
n Pivot the armrests up to make getting onto and off of the scooter easier.
WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the scooter seat to prevent the
scooter from tipping and causing injury.
WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause
the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the
scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
