II. SAFETY

OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES

Your PMV 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 PMV is designed to perform admirably on packed

soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your PMV safely on lawns and in park areas.

 Reduce your PMV’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.

WARNING! You should not operate your PMV on public streets and roadways. Be aware

that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your PMV. 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 PMV climb or descend an obstacle that is

inordinately high.

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your PMV proceed backward down any step, curb, or

other obstacle. This may cause the PMV to tip.

WARNING! Be sure your PMV is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be required

to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 4.

WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than 2 in. (5 cm).
