II. SAFETY
FREEWHEEL MODE
Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when pushed down, allows the scooter to be pushed.
For more information about how to place your scooter into and out of freewheel mode, see V. Your Legend.
WARNING! You should not operate your scooter on public streets and roadways. Be aware that it
may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your scooter. Obey all local pedestrian
traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme caution.
STREETS AND ROADWAYS
NOTE: Safety accessories like fluorescent flags are available to order from your authorized Pride Provider.
WARNING! Do not use your scooter in freewheel mode without an attendant present. Personal
injury may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to place your scooter in freewheel mode while seated on it. Personal
injury may result. Ask an attendant for assistance if necessary.
WARNING! Do not place your scooter in freewheel mode while on an incline. The scooter could roll
uncontrollably on its own, causing personal injury.
INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
An added feature built into the Legend is push-too-fast protection which safeguards the scooter against gaining
excessive speed while in freewheel mode.
Push-too-fast operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists:
n If the key is switched off when in freewheel mode, the scooters controller activates regenerative braking
when the scooter is pushed faster than a maximum threshold which has been preprogrammed. In this case, the
controller is acting as a speed governor.
n If the key is switched on while in freewheel mode, you will encounter considerable resistance at any speed.
This prevents the scooter from gaining unwanted momentum should the manual freewheel lever inadvertently
be released while driving the scooter.
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not operate your scooter 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 safety of your scooter.
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not expose your scooter to any type of moisture at any
time (rain, snow, mist, or wash). Such exposure can damage your scooter. Never operate your
scooter if it has been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
