As a manufacturer of powered scooters, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide variety of powered
scooters to meet many needs of the end user. However, final selection of the type of powered
scooter to be used by an individual rests solely with the user and his/her healthcare professional
capable of making such a selection.
TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT RESTRAINTS
Powered scooter users should NOT be transported in vehicles of any kind while in the powered
scooter. As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down
systems for transportation of a user while in a powered scooter, in a moving vehicle of any type.
It is Invacare's position that users of powered scooters should be transferred into appropriate
seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the restraints made available by the
auto industry. Invacare cannot and does not recommend any powered scooter transportation
systems.
Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with
Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested by
Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.
Scooters should be examined during maintenance for signs of corrosion (water exposure,

IMMEDIATELY.
Scooters that are used by incontinent users and/or are frequently exposed to water may require
replacement of electrical components more frequently.
