Motor Vehicle Transport; Positioning Belts - Pride Hurricane Owner's Manual

MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT

Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a
person while seated in a Hurricane.
Although your Hurricane may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide proper
restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the
motor vehicle seat with safety belts fastened securely.
WARNING! Do not sit on your Hurricane while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or
property damage may result.
WARNING! Always be sure your Hurricane and its batteries are properly secured when it is being
transported. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your Hurricane.
GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR HURRICANE
Getting onto and off of your Hurricane requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety tips
when getting onto and off of your Hurricane:
n Power down your Hurricane. See VI. “Operation.”
n Ensure that your Hurricane is not in freewheel mode. See IV. “Your Hurricane. ”
n Make certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch.
n The seat armrests can be flipped up to make getting on and off the Hurricane easier.
WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the Hurricane seat to prevent the Hurricane
from tipping and causing injury.
WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause the Hurri-
cane to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the Hurricane to
tip and cause personal injury.

POSITIONING BELTS

Your authorised Pride provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining
your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your Hurricane safely.
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your Hurricane, make sure it is
fastened securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the Hurricane.
