For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your scooter to raise the scooter off of the ground. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the areas of the tires contacting the ground. www.pridemobility.com Dash/Rev C/July 2003...
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or do not allow the exclusion of limitation of incidental or consequential damages. So, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Dash/Rev C/July 2003 www.pridemobility.com...
