It is imperative that you read this entire manual and understand all of the safety precautions before you attempt to

operate your new Hurricane for the first time.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

nMake certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch before getting on or

off of your Scooter.

nMake sure that you set the 4 - 8 mph switch to 4 and the speed adjustment dial to the tortoise (slowest speed)

setting when you begin using your Hurricane.

nEnsure the seat is in a locked position when you are operating your Scooter.

nDo not operate your Scooter while you are under the influence of alcohol.

nCheck with your physician if you are taking any medication(s) that may affect your ability to operate your

Scooter.

nDo not exceed the specifications in this manual.

nDo not carry passengers on your Hurricane, under any circumstances.

nNever drive your 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.

nKeep both hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard at all times while operating your Scooter. This

recommended driving position gives you the most control over your Scooter.

nUse extreme caution when driving on busy streets, in parking lots, or in shopping malls.

nProceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces or unprotected ledges or drop-offs (kerbs,

porches, stairs, etc.).

nDrive slowly through turns.

nMake certain that the tyres are properly inflated (30 psi).

nNever use your Scooter as a seat in a moving vehicle. our Scooter is not designed to be used as such and

cannot protect you in the event of an automobile accident or an abrupt stop.

nSecure the batteries before loading your Hurricane into another vehicle for transport.

nDisconnect the batteries if you are not going to operate your Scooter for more than 48 hours.

WARNING! Do not expose the electronics to any type of moisture at any time (rain, snow, mist, or

wash). Such exposure can damage the electronics. Never attempt to ride a Hurricane that has

been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.

Do not operate or store your Hurricane where it may be exposed to inclement weather conditions

such as rain, snow, mist, and below-freezing temperatures (such as storage on an outside car/van

lift). Attempting to operate your Scooter in such conditions can damage the electronics and

potentially result in loss of control.

Do not operate your Hurricane in icy or slippery conditions or on salted surfaces (i.e., walks or

roads). Such use may result in an accident, personal injury, or adversely affect the performance

and/or safety of your Scooter.

Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery. his

damages the battery and may cause personal injury. Attempting to charge a battery in freezing

conditions does not prevent a battery from freezing.

Contact your authorized Pride provider if you have any questions after reading this manual.

II. SAFETY

As you begin to use your Hurricane during your daily activities, you will encounter situations that may require some

practice. Simply take your time as you operate your Scooter and you will soon be in full and confident control as

you maneuver through doorways, on and off of elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.

DOORS

nDetermine if the door opens toward or away from you.

nUse your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.

nDrive your Hurricane slowly forward to push the door open; or drive your Scooter slowly backwards as you

pull the door open.

ELEVATORS

Modern elevators have a door-edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).

nIf 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 your Scooter to reopen the door.

nUse care that pocketbooks, packages, or Hurricane accessories do not become caught in the elevator doors.

RAMPS AND OTHER INCLINES

More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe scooter

access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks that require you to have good cornering skills on your Hurricane.

nTake slow, wide swings with your Scooters front wheel(s) around any tight corners. If you do that, the rear

wheels will follow a wide arc and will not cut the corner short, bump into, or get hung up on any railing corners.

nWhen driving down a ramp, keep your Hurricanes speed adjustment dial (see IV. Description) set to the

tortoise (slowest speed setting) to ensure a safely controlled descent.

nAvoid sudden stops and starts.

Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for scooters. Figure 1 illustrates your

Hurricanes stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.

The controlled tests show that, when you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 3. This

shifts the center of gravity of you and your Hurricane toward the front of the Scooter for improved stability.

II. SAFETY

Figure 3. Increased Stability Driving PositionFigure 2. Normal Driving Position

DRIVING SURFACES

our Hurricane was designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions  dry, level surfaces

composed of concrete or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will operate your

Hurricane on surfaces other than concrete or asphalt. For that reason, we also designed your Hurricane to perform

admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel.

nFeel free to use your Hurricane safely on lawns and in park areas.

nAvoid tall grass that can entangle the running gear.

nPacked soil, gravel, driveways, or roads will not present a problem for your Hurricane.

nAvoid loosely packed gravel and sand.

nIf you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.

WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this manual.
