When transporting your scooter by vehicle it should be securely stowed in the back of
a van, truck, or trunk of a car. Adjustable parts should be removed or properly secured
during transport.
WARNING – Do not sit in your scooter while in a moving vehicle.
POSITIONING BELT (OPTIONAL)
A safety belt may be included with your scooter. Your authorized Drive Medical
Provider, assistive technology therapist, or healthcare professional are responsible for
determining your requirement for a safety belt to operate your scooter safely. Once
determined, securely fasten the safety belt.
WARNING – The safety belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a
motor vehicle, or any other transportation device.
TRANSFERS
Always have an attendant present while transferring in and out of your scooter.
ATTENTION – To reduce the possibility of an injury; perform transfers
after the following steps are followed:
Safely reduce the distance between your scooter and the object you are transferring
onto, ensure your scooter is not in freewheel mode, turn the power off, and flip up or
remove the armrests.
WARNING – Position yourself as far back possible before transferring, and
never place your weight or downward force on adjustable parts.
