Transporting Your Avenger - Golden Technologies Golden Avenger GA 541 Owner's Manual

Avenger Owner's Manual
IX. Transporting Your AVENGER™
Avenger™ scooters can be equipped with docking devices for
loading into/onto a vehicle by means of mechanical lift or hoist. Golden
Technologies does not sell this lifting equipment, however you may contact your
local home health care dealer for more information.
To transport your Avenger™
You will want to consider the best way for transportation. Do you own a van?
Do you own a SUV? Depending on what type of vehicle you transport the
Avenger™ in, you will want to plan where you will store your scooter while
driving.
NOTE: The Avenger will not fit in the trunk of a compact car.
• Disassemble or fold down the seat and tiller to easily load into your
vehicle.
• Use moving blankets or other forms of padding to protect your Avenger™
during transportation.
• Do not lift your Avenger™ by its plastic body parts. These parts are not
designed to be used as handles. Also, damage to these parts is NOT
covered in any warranty.
• Do not use tires or wheels to lift the rear carriage. The carriage may
rotate and cause injury or damage.
IF YOUR SCOOTER AND ITS COMPONENTS ARE NOT PROPERLY AND
SECURELY STOWED, THE SCOOTER OR COMPONENTS MAY SHIFT WHILE DRIVING
CAUSING INJURY OR DAMAGE.
Never sit on your A v e n g e r when it is being transported.
Always fasten down your A v e n g e r securely with an approved tie-down
system supplied by your lift manufacturer while transporting your scooter.
If transporting your scooter on an outside lift, remove the seat.
Failure to do so could result in the seat coming loose and becoming airborne. This
situation could cause problems for the traffic behind you and possibly result in an
injury.
If you use an outside lift system, be sure to secure your battery
cover as it could blow away in high winds. Also, if any electronics are exposed to
moisture they may fail.
