To navigate down a kerb or stationary obstacle:
1. Approach the kerb or obstacle slowly, and make sure the power chair is traveling perpendicular to the obstacle. See figure 2.
2. Reduce the forward speed just before the front wheels come in contact with the obstacle.
3.
Increase the forward speed only after the rear wheels have cleared the obstacle and you are once again on a level surface.
WARNING! Even though your power chair may be capable of handling greater obstacles, Pride
recommends that you do not attempt to negotiate a kerb that has a height greater than 5 cm
(2 in.). Doing so could cause instability in your power chair.
WARNING! If your power chair is equipped with a kerb climber, do not attempt to climb any kerb
in excess of 10 cm (4 in.) in height. Do not approach kerbs at an angle; instead approach any
kerb you intend to ascend or descend in the forward position.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair proceed rearward down any step, kerb or
other obstacle. This may cause the power chair to tip.
Stairs and Escalators
Power chairs are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use a lift.
WARNING! Never use your power chair to negotiate steps or escalators.
Doors
Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
Drive your power chair gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your power chair gently
and slowly rearward to pull the door open.
Lifts
Modern lifts have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the lift door(s).
If you are in the doorway of a lift when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the
rubber door edge to contact the power chair and the door will reopen.
Use care that handbags, packages or power chair accessories do not become caught in lift doors.
Lifts/Elevation Products
If you will be transporting your power chair during travel, you may find it necessary to use a vehicle-mounted lift
system or elevation product to aid in transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the warnings,
instructions, specifications and safety information set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before
using that product.
WARNING! Not all lift systems/elevation products are rated for use with an occupied mobility
device. Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your power chair when it is being
used in connection with any type of lift system/elevation product unless:
That product is rated for occupied use by the manufacturer.
You are able to occupy your mobility device in strict conformity with the warnings,
instructions, specifications and safety guidelines set forth by the manufacturer.
WARNING! Always turn off the power to the controller when you are being transferred via an
elevation product. Failure to do so may result in accidental joystick contact, resulting in
unintended movement and personal injury or product damage.
Motor Vehicle Transport
Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your power chair while traveling in a motor vehicle. The
power chair should be stowed in the boot of a car or in the back of a truck or van with the batteries removed and
properly secured. In addition, all removable power chair parts, including the armrests, seat, front riggings, con-
troller and shrouds should be removed and/or properly secured during motor vehicle transport. If your power chair
is equipped with a transit securement system, refer to the supplemental safety information provided with your
power chair for additional information regarding power chair transport in a motor vehicle.
