ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).
n If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or
allow the rubber door edge to contact the PTV and the door will reopen.
n Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or PTV accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you will be traveling with your PTV, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product to aid in transporta-
tion. The SCOOTER Store recommends that you closely review the instructions, specifications, and safety infor-
mation set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product.
BATTERIES
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For
more information about your PTV's batteries, see section VI. “ Batteries and Charging.”
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging
a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a
person while seated in the PTV.
Although your PTV may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide proper restraint
during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor
vehicle seat with safety belts fastened securely.
WARNING! Do not sit on your PTV while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or property
damage may result.
WARNING! Always be sure your PTV is properly secured when being transported. Failure to do so
may result in personal injury and/or damage to your PTV.
REACHING AND BENDING
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your PTV. When reaching, bending, or leaning while seated on your PTV,
it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the PTV from tipping. The SCOOTER Store
recommends that the PTV 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 PTV and cause your PTV to tip, possibly resulting in personal
injury. Keep your hands away from the tires when driving.
