I. SAFETY
GENERAL
MANDATORY! Do not operate your new Travel Scooter for the fi rst time without completely
reading and understanding this owner’s manual and the Consumer Safety Guide.
Your Travel Scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. We provide an
extensive variety of products to best fi t the individual needs of the Travel Scooter user. Please be aware that the
fi nal selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of Travel Scooter to be used is the responsibility of the
Travel Scooter user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical
doctor, physical therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fi tted the
Travel Scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Provider
in the instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the Travel Scooter user will need to practice
operating the Travel Scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defi ned as a family
member or care professional specially trained in assisting a Travel Scooter user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your Travel 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 confi dent control as you
maneuver through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
Additional general information can be found on the supplemental information sheets and booklets included in
your Owner’s Package. Please fully read and review the information, and keep it readily available for future

Batteries and Charging
Batteries and Charging
Your scooter uses one long-lasting Lithium-Ion battery. This battery is sealed and maintenance-free. Since
it is sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Lithium-Ion batteries are designed to
handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive batteries,
they are not interchangeable. Automotive batteries are not designed to handle a long, deep discharge,
and are unsafe for use in scooters.
MANDATORY! Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands
after handling.
WARNING! Contact your authorized Pride Provider if you have any questions regarding
the battery in your scooter.
Charging the Battery
The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your scooter battery. It is designed to optimize your
scooter’s performance by charging the battery safely, quickly, and easily. The battery charger is only
functional when the charger power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet.
PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If necessary,
properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged
plug access.
PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the
charger directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.
PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the scooter while the
battery is charging. Pride recommends that you do not charge the battery while the
scooter is occupied.
MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual
supplied with the battery charger before charging the battery.
WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the battery. Keep the
scooter and battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks and
provide adequate ventilation when charging the battery.
WARNING! You must recharge your scooters battery with the supplied off-board charger.
Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.
WARNING! Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage before each
use. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if damage is found.
WARNING! Do not attempt to open the battery charger case. If the battery charger does
not appear to be working correctly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.
WARNING! Be aware that the battery charger case may become hot during charging.
Avoid skin contact and do not place on surfaces that may be affected by the heat.
WARNING! If the battery charger is equipped with cooling slots, then do not attempt to
insert objects through these slots.
WARNING! If your battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use,
then do not expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger is
exposed to adverse or extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to
the difference in environmental conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual
supplied with the battery charger for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How does the charger work?
The battery charger takes the standard electrical outlet voltage (alternating current) and converts it to 24V
DC (direct current). The battery uses a direct current to run your scooter. When the battery voltage is low,
the charger works harder to charge the battery. As the battery voltage approaches full charge, the charger
does not work as hard to complete the charging cycle. When the battery is fully charged, the amperage
from the charger is nearly at zero. This is how the charger maintains a charge but does not overcharge
the battery.
Can I use a different battery charger?
You should use the charger supplied with the scooter. It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the
battery. We do not recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger).
NOTE: Your scooter’s charger will not operate after the battery has been discharged to nearly zero
capacity. If this happens, call an authorised Pride Provider for assistance.
How often must I charge the battery?
Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the battery. You may use your scooter all
day on a daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time.
■
Daily Use
If you use your scooter on a daily basis, charge the battery as soon as you are finished using your
scooter. Your scooter will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service. It is recommended
that you charge the battery at least 8 to 14 hours after daily use. Pride recommends that you charge
your battery for an additional 4 hours after the battery charger indicates that charging is complete.
■
Infrequent Use
If you use your scooter infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the battery at least once
per week for 12 to 14 hours.
NOTE: Keep your battery fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your battery. Refer to the
manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions.

How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely do you have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, flat, hard terrain with no wind, hills, or
curves. More often you are presented with hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces,
curves, and wind. All of these factors will affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are
a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per charge:
■
Always charge the battery fully prior to your trip.
■
Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines if possible.
■
Limit baggage weight to essential items.
■
Try to maintain an even speed and avoid stop-and-go driving.
What type of battery should I use?
We recommend a Pride-supplied Lithium-Ion battery that is sealed and maintenance-free. Refer to the
specifications table for more information regarding the battery used with your scooter.
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals contained in batteries. Use only Lithium-Ion batteries to reduce the
risk of leakage or explosive conditions.
Why does my new battery seem weak?
Like nickel-cadmium batteries, Lithium-Ion batteries have a “memory” effect. Lithium-Ion batteries are
specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick
recharge. If the batteries are continually recharged after only being partially discharged, they lose their
ability to hold a full charge.
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a battery that best suits your scooter’s specific
demands. Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Pride and are promptly shipped with a full charge. During
shipping, the battery encounters temperature extremes that may influence initial performance. Heat robs
the charge from the battery, and cold slows the power available and extends the time needed to recharge
the battery (just as with a car battery).
It might take a few days for the temperature of the battery to stabilize and adjust to its new ambient
temperature. More importantly, it will take a few “charging cycles” (a full drain—then a full recharge) to
establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to the battery’s peak performance and long life. It
will be well worth it to take the time to break in your battery properly.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
A fully charged battery will provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your scooter’s
battery fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are infrequently charged, repeatedly charged after
only a partial discharge, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable
scooter operation and limited battery life.
NOTE: The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives.

How should I store my scooter and its battery?
If you do not use your scooter regularly, we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the
battery at least once per week.
If you do not plan on using your scooter for an extended period, fully charge the battery prior to storage.
Disconnect the battery, and store the scooter in a warm, dry environment. Avoid temperature extremes,
such as freezing and excessively hot conditions, and never attempt to charge a frozen battery. A cold or
frozen battery should be warmed for several days prior to recharging.
What about public transportation?
The Pride-supplied Lithium-Ion batteries are designed for application in scooters and other mobility
vehicles. Transport of the item on commercial aircraft is subject to government regulations and airline policy.
We suggest you contact the carrier’s ticket counter in advance to determine that carrier’s specific
requirements, and to ensure your scooter and its Lithium-Ion battery are permitted.
What about shipping?
If you wish to use a freight company to ship your scooter to your final destination, repack your scooter in
the original shipping container if possible and ship the battery in a separate box.
