Safety Notice - CareCo Minimus MS01097 User Manual

2. SAFETY NOTICE

MANDATORY! Do not operate your new Scooter for the first time without
completely reading and understanding this owner's manual and the
Consumer Safety Guide.
Your Scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase
mobility. We provide an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs
of the Scooter user. Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision
regarding the type of Scooter to be used is the responsibility of the Scooter user who
is capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical
doctor, physical therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert
has properly fitted the Scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare
professional and/or the authorized Provider in the instruction process for the use of the
product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the Scooter
user will need to practice operating the Scooter in the presence of a trained attendant.
A trained attendant can be defined as a family member or care professional specially
trained in assisting a Scooter user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your Scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter
situations in which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will
soon be in full and confident control as you manoeuvre through doorways, on and off
elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
Additional general information can be found on the supplemental information sheets
and booklets included in your Owner's Package. Please fully read and review the
information, and keep it readily available for future reference.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you
become accustomed to operating the Scooter safely.
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your Scooter and its capabilities. We recommend that you
perform a safety check before each use to make sure your Scooter operates smoothly
and safely.
