Heed all warnings in this section. If you fail to do so a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to you or others.
A. NOTICE TO RIDER
1. Before using this scooter, you should be trained in its safe use by your health care
professional.
2. Every scooter is different. Take the time to learn the feel of this scooter before you
begin riding.
3. Be aware that you must develop your own methods for the safe use of this scooter
that are best suited to your level of function and ability.
4. Have someone help you practice bending, reaching and transferring until you learn
how to do them safely.
5. Never try a new maneuver on your own unless you are sure it is safe.
6. Get to know the areas where you plan to use your scooter. Look for hazards and learn
how to avoid them.
7. Do not allow additional riders on the scooter, armrests or chassis. Doing so may
result in injury or damage.
B. NOTICE TO ATTENDANTS
Make sure you heed all warnings and follow all instructions in each section of this
manual. (Be aware that warnings that apply to the rider also apply to you).
Notes:
1. You need to work with the rider and the rider's doctor, nurse or therapist, to
develop safe methods best suited to your abilities and those of the rider.
2. To manually push the scooter you must release the motor locks.
• Make sure you have full control over the scooter when you release the motor locks.
When you do so the scooter will not have brakes.
3. Propel this scooter by the armrest supports only. If using a seat frame, propel the
scooter by the push handles on the top of the backrest posts. They provide secure
points for you to hold the rear of the scooter to prevent a fall or tip-over.
