II. SAFETY
WARNING! Your power chair may be equipped with a reclining seatback. This feature is intended
for use on a flat, level surface. Do not negotiate inclines with the seat in a reclined position as
this may result in the power chair tipping over and causing personal injury and/or product damage.
WARNING! Even though your power chair is capable of climbing slopes greater than those illustrated
in figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or any other
specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your power chair,
resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.
Most handicap public access ramps are required to have a maximum slope of 10.5% (6°). Therefore, Pride recommends
that the maximum slope of an incline you attempt to safely ascend or descend on your power chair does not exceed 10.5%
(6°). See figure 1.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 10.5% (6°) may put your power
chair in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.
Figure 1. Maximum Safe Angle (Ascending and Descending)
Braking Information
Your power chair is equipped with two powerful brake systems:
1. Regenerative — uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the joystick returns to the centre/stop position.
2. Disc Park Brake — activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or when power is
removed from the system for any reason.
Cornering Information
While your power chair is equipped with castor wheels in front and anti-tip wheels in back, excessively high cornering
speeds can still 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 power
chair from tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall.
To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.
Inclement Weather Precautions
Exposure of your power chair to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If suddenly caught
up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your power chair proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity.
Thoroughly dry your power chair before storing, charging or operating your power chair.
WARNING! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions and on icy/slippery surfaces can
cause personal injury and/or damage to the power chair and electrical system. Maintain and store
your power chair in a dry and clean condition.
