Pride Mobility TRAVEL SCOOTER Series Owner's Manual page 5

GENERAL
MANDATORY! Do not operate your new Travel Scooter for the fi rst time without completely
reading and understanding this owner's manual and the Consumer Safety Guide.
Your Travel Scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. We provide an
extensive variety of products to best fi t the individual needs of the Travel Scooter user. Please be aware that the
fi nal selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of Travel Scooter to be used is the responsibility of the
Travel 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 fi tted the
Travel 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 Travel Scooter user will need to practice
operating the Travel Scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defi ned as a family
member or care professional specially trained in assisting a Travel Scooter user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your Travel 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 confi dent control as you
maneuver 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 Travel Scooter safely.
