GENERAL WARNINGS

PERSONAL & OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES

Drive profiles should only be adjusted by healthcare professionals and approved agents/dealers, who are totally conversant with the process. They must also fully understand the user’s capabilities and the user’s ability to operate the scooter safely.

Incorrect settings may cause injury or damage to the user, bystanders, the scooter and/ or nearby property.

To determine personal mobility limitations, practice combinations of bending, reaching, mount and dismount techniques, whilst in the presence of a healthcare professional. Practice the above techniques BEFORE actively using the scooter.

For users with balance problems, practice the above techniques with the aid of an assistant, in the presence of a healthcare professional.

DO NOT attempt to pick up objects that cause you to shift your weight in the seat, or require you to bend excessively in any direction. Such action may result in the scooter tipping over, or in injury to the person or both.

DO NOT use an escalator to move the mobility scooter between floors as serious bodily injury could arise from such actions.

DO NOT drive on the road, dual carriageways or motorways.

DO NOT drive up, down or across inclines that have water, ice, oil or any other slippery substance on the surface. Failure to note the above conditions could cause loss of control.

DO NOT attempt to drive over kerbs or obstacles in excess of 2” (51mm). Disregarding this warning could cause the mobility scooter to tip resulting in possible bodily harm.

DO NOT make sharp turns in forward or reverse at high speeds.

DO NOT lift the mobility scooter by its Tiller, Seat, Body Panels or by any detachable assemblies. Always disassemble the scooter into its stowable parts and then lift each assembly one at a time.

DO NOT carry passengers on your scooter. DO NOT attempt to tow another vehicle.

DO NOT operate the mobility scooter without first checking that it is safe to do so. Always be aware of your surroundings.

DO NOT attempt to use your mobility scooter without first checking that all wiring harnesses are connected and all detachable parts/assemblies are correctly aligned and firmly fixed in place.
