Transfers
Transferring onto and off of your scooter requires a good
sense of balance. Always have an attendant present while
learning to properly transfer.

tasks before attempting a transfer:
■ Turn off power button on battery box.
■ Ensure the parking brake is engaged. See "Your
Scooter" in this owner's manual.
■ Make sure the seat is fixed securely in place.
WARNING! Before transferring, engage the parking brake.
WARNING! Before transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the scooter seat to
prevent the scooter from tipping forward during transfer.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the scooter tiller. Such use may cause the
scooter to tip, resulting in a fall from the scooter and personal injury.
