To Reduce The Risk Of A Fall Or Tip-Over:

1.Consult your supplier for information on modifications authorized by Sunrise before you modify or adjust this scooter.

NOTE– You may need to make additional changes to correct the center of balance.

2.Use extreme care until you know the balance points of this scooter and how to avoid a fall or tip-over.

M.TRANSFERS

It is dangerous to transfer on your own. It requires good balance and agility. Be aware that there is a point during every transfer when the scooter seat is not below you. To avoid a fall:

1.Always turn off power before you transfer to or from your scooter. If you fail to do so you may touch the joystick/control pod and cause your scooter to move when you do not expect it.

2.Make sure motor locks are engaged. This keeps the scooter from moving when you transfer.

3.Work with your health care professional to learn safe methods.

•Learn how to position your body and how to support yourself during a transfer.

•Have someone help you until you are sure you can do a safe transfer on your own.

4.Move your scooter as close as you can to the seat you are transferring to. If possible, use a transfer board.

5.Make sure armrests do not interfere.

6.Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can. This will reduce the risk that you will miss the seat or fall.

N.REACHING OR LEANING

Reaching or leaning affects the center of balance of your scooter. If done improp- erly, a fall or tip-over is likely. When in doubt, ask for help or use a device to extend your reach.

To Reduce the Risk of Injury and/or Damage to the Scooter:

1.Never reach or lean if you must shift your weight sideways or rise up off the seat.

2.Never reach or lean if you must move forward in your seat to do so. Always keep your buttocks in contact with the backrest.

3.Never reach with both hands (you may not be able to catch yourself to prevent a fall if you lose your balance).

4.Never try to pick up an object from the floor by reaching down between your knees.

5.Never put pressure on the foot platform while reaching. This may cause the scooter to tip if you lean too far.

6.Never reach or lean over the top of the seat back. This may damage the backrest and cause you to fall.

IF YOU MUST REACH OR LEAN, DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Remember to:

1.Move your scooter as close as you can to the object you wish to reach.

2.Turn off all power to your scooter. If you fail to do so, you may touch the control pod and cause your scooter to move when you do not expect it.

3.Firmly grasp an armrest with one hand. This will help to prevent a fall if the scooter tips.
