Reaching And Bending - Pride Mobility Legend 3-Wheel Scooter Owner's Manual

REACHING AND BENDING

Avoid reaching or bending while driving your Legend. When reaching, bending, or leaning while seated on your
Legend, it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the scooter from tipping. Pride recommends
that the scooter user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a
qualified healthcare professional.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by
reaching down between your knees. Movements such as these may change your center of gravity
and the weight distribution of the scooter and cause your scooter to tip, possibly resulting in
personal injury. Keep your hands away from the tires when driving.
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS/PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS
The scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her Legend. This includes awareness of
safety issues when taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations.
WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication or if
you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations may impair your ability to
operate your scooter in a safe manner.
ALCOHOL
The scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her Legend. This includes awareness
of safety issues while under the influence of alcohol.
WARNING! Do not operate your scooter while you are under the influence of alcohol, as this may
impair your ability to drive safely.
