Smoking
Users must exercise care and common sense when operating a scooter. This includes awareness of safety issues
that arise from smoking which may impair your ability to operate your scooter in a safe manner.
WARNING! Do not operate your scooter while smoking. Smoking may impair your ability to
operate your scooter safely or cause a fire. Operating a scooter while smoking can distract
the user from safely operating the scooter and can interfere with properly operating the
scooter's controls which may result in erratic steering, acceleration, braking, instability,
tipping, misdirection, and/or collision with persons or objects. Any of these circumstances
may result in serious personal injury or death. Smoking while operating the scooter can also
result in physical burns and/or scooter/property damage and can ignite a fire that can result in
serious personal injury or death.
WARNING! We strongly recommend that you do not smoke cigarettes while seated in your
scooter, even though the scooter has passed the necessary testing requirements for exposure
to cigarette smoking. You must adhere to the following safety guidelines if you decide to
smoke cigarettes while seated in your scooter.
Do not leave lit cigarettes unattended.
■
Keep ashtrays a safe distance from the seat cushions.
■
Always make sure cigarettes are completely extinguished before disposal.
■
Flammability Precautions
WARNING! Even though the plastics and seat used on your scooter have been tested and have
passed flammability standards, we recommend that you do not expose your scooter to open
flames.
WARNING! Exercise extreme caution when using oxygen in close proximity to electrical circuits
and combustible materials. Contact your oxygen Dealer for information on using oxygen safely.
WARNING! Replace worn or damaged upholstery immediately to reduce the risk of fire hazard.
WARNING! Be aware that washing of upholstered items may reduce the resistance to
flammability of the fabric.
Hazardous Environments
WARNING! Due to the electrical make-up of our products, we do not recommend use of our
scooters in Class I Division I industrial or commercial environments where the work area could
have a combustible air composition. In such an environment, it is possible for the scooter to
become an ignition source for a fire or explosion.
