Removable Parts
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move your scooter or seat by grasping or holding onto any
of its removable parts. Grasp only solid, non-removable frame components to lift or move your
scooter or seat.
Preventing Unintended Movement
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of
time, disconnect the controller and battery connectors. This will prevent unexpected motion
from inadvertent twist throttle contact. This will also eliminate the possibility of unintended
scooter movement from electromagnetic (EM) sources.
Reaching and Bending
Never reach, lean, or bend while driving your scooter. Bending forward creates the risk of accidental twist throttle
contact. Bending to the side while seated creates the risk of tipping. If it is absolutely necessary to reach, lean, or
bend while seated on your scooter, it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the scooter from
tipping. Make sure the wheels are pointed in the forward position to create the longest possible wheelbase. We
recommend that the scooter user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the
presence of a qualified attendant. See figures 8 and 9.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up by reaching down
between your knees, if you have to lean from either side of the scooter, or if you have to reach
over the back of the seat. Movements such as these may change your center of gravity and the
weight distribution of the scooter. This may cause your scooter to tip.
WARNING! Keep your hands, clothing, and all other objects away from the tires when driving.
Do not allow any personal belongings or objects to drag behind the scooter when driving. Be
aware that loose fitting clothing or other objects can become caught in drive wheels and/or
they may become entangled in the running gear.
WARNING! Possible strangulation hazard! Be aware that clothing, lanyards, necklaces, other
jewelry, purses, and other accessories worn or carried by you while you are seated on or
operating the scooter may get caught around the armrests or twist throttle. Be careful to avoid
this potential danger.
WARNING! Do not allow objects or accessories to protrude from your scooter when driving. Be
aware protruding objects can become caught on items surrounding the scooter's path.
