GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR SCOOTER

Getting onto and off of your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety tips when getting onto and off of your scooter:

νEnsure that your scooter is not in freewheel mode. See V. “Your Celebrity.”

νMake certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch.

νThe seat armrests of the seat can be flipped up to make getting onto and off of the scooter easier.

WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the scooter seat to prevent the scooter from tipping and causing injury.

WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.

REACHING AND BENDING

Avoid reaching or bending while driving your scooter. When reaching, bending, or leaning while seated on your scooter, it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the scooter from tipping. Pride recommends that the scooter user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional.

WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees. Movements such as these may change your center of gravity and the weight distribution of the scooter and cause your scooter to tip, possibly resulting in personal injury. Keep your hands away from the tires when driving.

PRESCRIPTION DRUGS/PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS

The scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her scooter. This includes awareness of safety issues when taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations.

WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication or if you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations may impair your ability to operate your scooter in a safe manner.

ALCOHOL

The scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her scooter. This includes awareness of safety issues while under the influence of alcohol.

WARNING! Do not operate your scooter while you are under the influence of alcohol, as this may impair your ability to drive safely.

POSITIONING BELTS

Your authorized Pride Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your scooter safely.

WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your scooter, make sure it is fastened securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the scooter.
