Ingress of Liquids
WARNING! Even though the scooter has passed the necessary testing requirements for ingress
of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of dampness, including
direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Check electrical components
frequently for signs of corrosion and have them replaced as necessary.
WARNING! Never take your scooter into a shower, tub, pool, or sauna. Do not operate your
scooter in water.
Stairs and Escalators
Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.
WARNING! Never use your scooter to negotiate stairs or escalators.
WARNING! Use extreme caution when it is necessary to move an unoccupied scooter up or
down stairs. We recommend that two attendants perform this task, and that the seat, batteries,
and any accessories be removed before attempting the transfer. Use proper lifting techniques
and use only solid, non-removable frame components to lift the scooter.
Elevators
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).
■ 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 scooter and the door will reopen.
■ Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
NOTICE: If your scooter's turning radius is greater than 60 in. (152 cm), it may be difficult to maneuver in
elevators and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneuver your scooter in small
spaces and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
Doors
■ Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
■ Drive your scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open, or push your scooter gently and slowly
backward to pull the door open.
Unoccupied Motor Vehicle Transport
Do not remain seated in your scooter while traveling in a motor vehicle. The scooter should be stowed in the trunk
of a car or in the back of a truck or van with seat removed and/or properly secured. In addition, all removable scooter
parts should be removed and/or properly secured during motor vehicle transport.
WARNING! The scooter user should transfer into the motor vehicle seat and use the vehicle-
installed restraint system if and whenever feasible. The scooter user should never sit on the
scooter while it is in a moving vehicle.
WARNING! Always be sure your scooter and its seat are properly secured when it is being
transported. Batteries should not be transported with any flammable or combustible items.
Seating
WARNING! Should the fittings on your seat become loose, report the problem immediately to
your authorized dealer.
WARNING! Do not remove the seat cushion supplied with the scooter. Do not place additional
cushions, padding, or pillows on the seat cushion. This could cause an unstable position,
resulting in a fall from the scooter.
