MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT

Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to trans- port 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.

PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT

WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle control lever contact. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.

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 Scooter.”

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 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.
