8 Basic Operation Instructions

Power Glide www.pridemobility.com

POWER GLIDE

The Power Glide is designed to assist an attendant when pushing an occu-

pied wheelchair up hills and ramps and over uneven ground.

WARNING! Do not operate the Power Glide when the

wheelchair is unoccupied.

WARNING! Ensure the on/off key is in the off position

before anyone transfers into or out of the wheelchair.

WARNING! Do not attempt to climb an incline without the

assistance of an attendant.

WARNING! Do not attempt to operate a wheelchair

equipped with a Power Glide outside of the safe limits as

recommended by the wheelchair manufacturer.

WARNING! Do not attempt to operate a wheelchair

equipped with a Power Glide on an incline or decline

greater than 2° (3.5%) without an attendant.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)

WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that

electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can have an

adverse effect on the performance of electrically-powered

mobility vehicle.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources

such as cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies),

radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless

computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range

mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves

can cause unintended movement or damage to the control system. Every

electrically-powered mobility vehicle has an immunity (or resistance) to

EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI.

This product has been tested and has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m.

WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios,

laptops, and other types of radio transmitters may cause

unintended movement of your electrically-powered mobility

vehicle due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of

these items while operating your mobility vehicle and avoid

coming into close proximity of radio and TV stations.

WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to

the electrically-powered mobility vehicle can increase the

susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your

assistive device in any way not authorized by Pride.
