SAFETY
WARNING! Do not operate your new power chair for the first time without completely reading and
understanding this owner’s manual.
Your power chair 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 power chair user. Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding
the type of power chair to be used is the responsibility of the power chair 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 fitted the power chair 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 the power chair user will need to practice operating the power
chair in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family member or care professional specially trained

As you begin using your power chair 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
