General Safety Guidelines
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.
WARNING! Do not operate your scooter for the first time without completely reading and
understanding all information available with your scooter, including but not limited to safety
labeling, owner's manuals, and supplemental instructional booklets.
WARNING! The iRIDE is not intended for use by persons who cannot support themselves in an
upright position.
WARNING! Prior to operating your scooter, familiarize yourself with the location and use of
controls, including the tiller for steering, the throttle for accelerating, and the handbrake for
stopping. During operation, unless gripping the handbrake, keep both hands on the tiller at all
times to assure safe operation of the scooter. Failure to both release the throttle and engage
the handbrake when stopping the scooter can result in collision with people or objects which
may result in property damage, personal injury or death.
WARNING! The iRide is intended for operation on flat, even surfaces whether indoors or outdoors.
Examples of "indoors" typically include, but are not limited to, linoleum, hardwood, tile, non-pile
and low-pile carpeting. Examples of "outdoors" typically include, but are not limited to, concrete,
asphalt, macadam, and certain refined brick configurations. Do not operate your scooter on or
near uneven surfaces such as stairs, drop-offs, ledges, grass, gravel, sand, mulch, dirt, mud or
deteriorated concrete, asphalt or other uneven surfaces. Failure to heed this warning may result in
damage to the product or cause instability and tipping resulting in personal injury or death.
The following are precautions, tips, and other safety considerations intended to help you become accustomed
to operating your scooter safely. While we recognize that scooter users will frequently develop skills to manage
daily activities that may differ from those illustrated in this manual, it is imperative that all safety guidelines in
this manual be followed to ensure user safety. Failure to follow the safety notices in this and other manufacturer-
supplied manuals and those located on your scooter can lead to personal injury and/or damage to the scooter, and
may result in voiding the product warranty.
Modifications
We have designed and engineered your scooter to provide maximum mobility and utility. Under no circumstances
should you modify, add, remove, or disable any feature, part, or function of your scooter.
WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way not authorized by your Dealer. Do not use
accessories if they have not been tested or approved for scooter. Approved accessories must
be installed by your authorized Dealer or a qualified service technician.
WARNING! The addition of accessories to the scooter may change the overall weight, size,
and/or center of gravity of your scooter. It is important to take note of these changes to avoid
damage to the scooter and surrounding property.
WARNING! Do not add any side body anit-tip wheels or other side body stability enhancements.
Doing so may diminish ground clearance and promote instability when the user comes in
contact with any raised surface. We acknowledge certain high weight capacity products have
side body anti-tip wheels. These are intended to enhance product stability during transfer on
and off of the scooter and do not enhance the dynamic stability of the scooter.
The center of gravity of your seat was factory set to a position that meets the needs of the demographic majority of users.
WARNING! Do not change your seating configuration without first contacting your authorized
Dealer. Only your authorized Dealer or a trained service technician should make adjustments
to the seat.
WARNING! Do not use seats on your scooter that have not been tested or approved for your scooter.
Using unapproved seats could affect the center of gravity of your scooter, resulting in a tip or a fall.
