GENERAL
MANDATORY! Do not operate your new Travel Scooter for the first time without completely
reading and understanding this owner’s manual.
YourTravel Scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an
extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the Travel Scooter user. Please be aware that the
final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type ofTravel Scooter to be used is the responsibility of the

doctor, physical therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted theTravel
Scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Pride Provider in
the instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where theTravel Scooter user will need to practice
operating the Travel Scooter in the presence of a trained attendant.Atrained attendant can be defined as a family
member or care professional specially trained in assisting aTravel Scooter user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using yourTravel Scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you
will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver
through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help the user become accustomed to
operating theTravel Scooter safely.
MODIFICATIONS
Pride has designed and engineered yourTravel Scooter to provide maximum mobility and utility. However, under
no circumstances should you modify, add, remove, or disable any feature, part, or function of yourTravel Scooter.
WARNING! Do not modify your Travel Scooter in any way not authorized by Pride.
Unauthorized modifications may result in personal injury and/or damage to your Travel

PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of yourTravel Scooter and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check
before each use to make sure your Travel Scooter operates smoothly and safely.
Perform the following inspections prior to using yourTravel Scooter:
ꢀ Check for proper tire inflation (if equipped with pneumatic tires).
ꢀ Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
ꢀ Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly.
ꢀ Check the brakes.
ꢀ Check battery charge.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.
TIRE INFLATION
If yourTravel Scooter 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
yourTravel Scooter.
WARNING! It is critically important that 30-35 psi tire pressure 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 30-35 psi tire pressure
in pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious
personal injury and/or damage to your Travel Scooter.
WARNING! Inflate your Travel Scooter 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 and/or personal injury.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
YourTravel Scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to the specifications table for information.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal
injury and damage to your Travel Scooter. 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 Travel Scooter. Carrying passengers may
result in personal injury and/or property damage.
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 cornering skills on
yourTravel Scooter.
ꢀ Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
ꢀ Take wide swings with yourTravel Scooter around any tight corners. If you do that, the Travel Scooter’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 Travel Scooter’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to
ensure a safely controlled descent.
ꢀ Avoid sudden stops and starts.

I I . S A F E T Y
When climbing an incline, try to keep yourTravel Scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then
accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest
setting and driving in the forward direction only. If yourTravel Scooter starts to move down the incline faster than
you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever. Then push the
throttle control lever forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the
incline. Drive your Travel Scooter straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility
of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! Do not drive your Travel Scooter across the side of an incline or diagonally up
or down an incline; do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down an incline.
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas
covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the Travel Scooter in
freewheel mode while seated on it or standing next to it.
WARNING! Even though your Travel Scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater than
that 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 Travel Scooter, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your Travel Scooter.
Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do not
necessarily share the same standard percent of slope. Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed
specifically for Travel Scooters. Figure 1 illustrates yourTravel Scooter’s stability and its ability to climb grades
under various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.
These tests were conducted with the Travel Scooter’s seat in the highest position and adjusted rearward on the
seat base to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline.YourTravel Scooter’s ability to travel
up inclines is affected by your weight, yourTravel Scooter’s speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your
Travel Scooter setup.
260 lbs.
8° (14.1%)
Figure 1. Maximum Recommended Incline Angle
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is shown in figure
1 may put your Travel Scooter in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in
personal injury.
WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 15 lbs. Never fill the front or
rear basket with contents exceeding 15 lbs.

When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the center of gravity of
you and yourTravel Scooter toward the front of the Travel Scooter for improved stability.
NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the
powered Travel Scooter may roll back approximately 1 foot before the brake engages. If the throttle
control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered Travel Scooter may roll back approxi-
mately 3 feet before the brake engages.

Figure 2A. Increased Stability Driving Position
CORNERING INFORMATION
Excessively high cornering speeds can 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 while cornering, reduce your speed and
steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent yourTravel Scooter from tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your Travel Scooter at
higher speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. To
avoid personal injury or property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.
BRAKING INFORMATION
YourTravel Scooter is equipped with these powerful brake systems:
ꢀ Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the center/
stop position.
ꢀ 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.

OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
YourTravel Scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces
composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will
encounter other surface types. For this reason, your Travel Scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed
soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your Travel Scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.
ꢀ Reduce your Travel Scooter’s speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
ꢀ Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
ꢀ Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
ꢀ If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADWAYS
WARNING! You should not operate your Travel Scooter on public streets and roadways. Be
aware that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your Travel
Scooter. Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and
then proceed with extreme caution.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs (curbs,
porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your Travel Scooter climb or descend an obstacle that
is inordinately high. Serious personal injury and/or damage may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your Travel Scooter proceed backward down any step,
curb, or other obstacle. This may cause the Travel Scooter to tip and cause personal
injury.
WARNING! Be sure your Travel Scooter is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be
required to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.
WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than 2 in.

INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
Exposure of your Travel Scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If
suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating yourTravel Scooter proceed to shelter at the
earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry yourTravel Scooter before storing, charging, or operating yourTravel Scooter.
WARNING! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy/slippery surfaces
can cause personal injury and/or damage to the Travel Scooter and electrical system.
Maintain and store your Travel Scooter in a dry and clean condition.
FREEWHEEL MODE
Your Travel Scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when pushed forward, allows the Travel
Scooter to be pushed. For more information about how to place your Travel Scooter into and out of freewheel
mode, see IV. “Your Travel Scooter.”
WARNING! When your Travel Scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is
disengaged.
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.
Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.
Stand behind or to the side of the Travel Scooter to engage or disengage freewheel
mode. Never sit on a Travel Scooter to do this.
ꢀ
After you have finished pushing your Travel Scooter, always return it to the drive mode
to lock the brakes.
Failure to heed the above could result in personal injury and/or damage to your Travel
Scooter.
An added feature built into the Travel Scooter is “push-too-fast” protection which safeguards the Travel Scooter
against gaining excessive speed while in freewheel mode.
“Push-too-fast” operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists:
ꢀ If the key is switched “off” while in freewheel mode, the Travel Scooter’s controller activates regenerative
braking when theTravel Scooter is pushed faster than a maximum threshold which has been preprogrammed.
In this case, the controller is acting as a speed governor.
ꢀ If the key is switched “on” while in freewheel mode, you will encounter considerable resistance at any
speed. This prevents the Travel Scooter from gaining unwanted momentum should the manual freewheel
lever inadvertently be released while driving the Travel Scooter.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Travel Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators.Always use an elevator.
WARNING! Do not use your Travel Scooter to negotiate steps or escalators. You may cause
injury to yourself and to others and/or damage your Travel Scooter.
DOORS
ꢀ Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
ꢀ Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
ꢀ Drive your Travel Scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your Travel Scooter
gently and slowly rearwards to pull the door open.

ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
ꢀ If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or
allow the rubber door edge to contact the Travel Scooter and the door will reopen.
ꢀ Use care that handbags, packages, or Travel Scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you will be traveling with your Travel Scooter, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product to aid in
transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the instructions, specifications, and safety information
set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product.
WARNING! Never sit on your Travel Scooter when it is being used in connection with any
type of lift/elevation product. Your Travel Scooter was not designed with such use in mind
and any damage or injury incurred from such use is not the responsibility of Pride.
BATTERIES
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.
WARNING! Travel Scooter batteries are heavy (refer to the specifications table). Lifting
weight beyond your capacity could result in personal injury. If necessary, get someone
physically able to lift the Travel Scooter batteries for you.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery.
Charging a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.
WARNING! RED (+) cables must be connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK
(-) cables must be connected to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. Failure to connect
your battery harnesses in the proper manner may result in personal injury and/or damage
to your Travel Scooter. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged.

WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the Travel Scooter seat to prevent
the Travel Scooter from tipping and causing injury.
WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause
the Travel Scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the
Travel Scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
REACHING AND BENDING
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your Travel Scooter. 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 theTravel Scooter from tipping. Pride recommends that theTravel Scooter 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
Travel Scooter deck or from either side of the Travel Scooter. Movements such as these
may change your center of gravity and the weight distribution of the Travel Scooter and
cause your Travel Scooter 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 Travel Scooter safely.
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your Travel Scooter, make
sure it is fastened securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the Travel
Scooter.

ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves
can have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile two-
way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless
computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range mobile transceivers used by emergency
vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to the control system. Every
electrically-powered mobility vehicle has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the
greater the protection against EMI. This product has been tested and has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/M.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, and other types of radio
transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered mobility vehicle
due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating your mobility
vehicle and avoid coming into close proximity of radio and TV stations.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the electrically-powered mobility
vehicle can increase the susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your Travel
Scooter in any way not authorized by Pride.
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself can disturb the performance
of other electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.
unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn your Travel Scooter off as soon as it is safe to do so.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the charger work?
When your Travel Scooter’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to
the batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends less and less
electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at nearly zero
amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your Travel Scooter’s batteries,
but does not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your Travel Scooter’s batteries for more
than 24 consecutive hours.

What if my Travel Scooter’s batteries will not charge?
ꢀ Ensure that the fuse on the battery pack is in working condition.
ꢀ Ensure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
Can I use a different charger?
Chargers are selected precisely for particular applications and are especially matched to the type, size, and chemi-
cal formulation of specific batteries. For the safest and most efficient charging of your Travel Scooter’s batteries,
we recommend use of the charger supplied as original equipment with your Pride product only.Any charging
method resulting in batteries being charged individually is especially prohibited.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your Travel Scooter’s batteries:
ꢀ All day use on a daily basis.
ꢀ Infrequent or sporadic use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge yourTravel
Scooter’s batteries. The battery charger was designed so that it will not overcharge your Travel Scooter’s
batteries. However, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if
you do not charge them on a regular basis. Following the guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery
operation and charging.
ꢀ If you use yourTravel Scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day.YourTravel
Scooter will be ready each morning. We recommend that you charge your Travel Scooter’s batteries for 8 to
14 hours after daily use.
ꢀ If you use your Travel Scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14
hours at a time.
ꢀ Keep your Travel Scooter’s batteries fully charged.
ꢀ Avoid deeply discharging your Travel Scooter’s batteries.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fullychargeddeep-cyclebatteriesprovidereliableperformanceandextendedbatterylife. KeepyourTravelScooter’s
batteries fully charged whenever possible. Protect your Travel Scooter and batteries from extreme heat or cold.
Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures, or stored
without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely will you have ideal driving conditions—smooth, flat, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves. Often, you
will face hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind, all of which affect the distance
or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per battery charge.
ꢀ Always fully charge your Travel Scooter’s batteries prior to daily use.
ꢀ Maintain 30-35 psi in each tire (if equipped with pneumatic tires).
ꢀ Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as possible.
ꢀ Limit your baggage weight to essential items.
ꢀ Try to maintain an even speed while yourTravel Scooter is in motion.
ꢀ Avoid stop-and-go driving.

Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium
batteries (nicads), and other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide
power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge (8 to 14 hours).
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your Travel Scooter’s specific
electrical demands. Fresh batteries are shipped fully charged to our customers. During shipping, the batteries may
encounter temperature extremes that can influence their initial performance. Heat diminishes the charge on the
battery; cold slows the available power and extends the time needed to recharge the battery.
It may take a few days for the temperature of your Travel Scooter’s batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new
room or ambient temperature. More importantly, it takes a few charging cycles (partial draining followed by full
recharging) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle battery’s peak performance
and long life.
Follow these steps to properly break in your Travel Scooter’s new batteries for maximum efficiency and
service life.
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This charging cycle brings the battery up to about 88% of
its peak performance level.
2. Operate your newTravel Scooter in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far from
your home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to yourTravel Scooter’s controls and
have properly broken in your Travel Scooter’s batteries.
3. Fully recharge the batteries. They should be at over 90% of their peak performance level.
4. Operate your Travel Scooter again.
5. Fully recharge the batteries again.
6. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak performance
level and are able to last for an extended period of time.
What about public transport?
If you intend to use public transportation with yourTravel Scooter, you must contact the transportation provider in
advance to determine their specific requirements.
