As you begin using your Celebrity during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations for which you will
need some practice negotiating on your Scooter. Simply take your time as you operate your Celebrity and you will
soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps,
and over moderate terrain.
DOORS
n Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
n Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
n Drive your Celebrity gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your Celebrity gently and
slowly backwards to pull the door open.
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).
n If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or
allow the rubber door edge to contact the Scooter and the door will reopen.
n Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Celebrity accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
RAMPS AND OTHER INCLINES
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination. These ramps are designed for easy and
safe Scooter access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks that require good cornering skills on your Celeb-
rity.
n Take wide swings with your Celebrity’s front wheel(s) around any tight corners. If you do that, the Celebrity’s
rear wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing
corners.
n When driving down a ramp, keep the Celebrity’s speed adjustment dial set to the tortoise (slowest speed
setting) to ensure a safely controlled descent. See IV. “Description.”
n Avoid sudden stops and starts.
