MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT

Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a person while seated in a scooter.

Although your scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide proper restraint during motor vehicle transport.Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle seat with safety belts fastened securely.

WARNING! Do not sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or property damage may result.

WARNING! Always be sure your scooter and its batteries are properly secured when it is being transported. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

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:

νPower down your scooter. See VII. “Operation.”

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

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

νThe seat armrests can be flipped up to make getting on and off 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.

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.
