Pride Mobility PMV Serie Manuel Du Propriétaire page 5

GENERAL
MANDATORY! Do not operate your new PMV for the first time without completely reading
and understanding this owner's manual and the Consumer Safety Guide.
Your PMV is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. We provide an
extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the PMV user. Please be aware that the final
selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of PMV to be used is the responsibility of the PMV
user, who is capable of making such a decision.
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted
the PMV to the user.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the PMV user will need to practice
operating the PMV in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family
member or care professional specially trained in assisting a PMV user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your PMV 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.
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 reference.
Below are some precautions, tips and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed
to operating the PMV safely.
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your PMV and its capabilities. We recommend that you perform a safety check
before each use to make sure your PMV operates smoothly and safely.
Perform the following inspections prior to using your PMV:
 Check the condition of the tires. Make sure they are not damaged or excessively worn.
 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 to ensure they operate properly.
 Check the battery condition meter to ensure the batteries are fully charged.
 Ensure the manual freewheel lever is in drive mode before sitting on the PMV.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Provider for assistance. Please refer to the Contact
Information insert in your Owner's Package.
