Stairways

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to move an occupied powered scooter between floors using a stairway. Use an elevator to move an occupied powered scooter between floors.

If moving a powered scooter between floors by means of a stairway, the occupant MUST be removed and transported independently of the powered scooter. Extreme caution is advised when moving an UNOCCUPIED powered scooter up or down the stairs. Invacare recommends disassembling the scooter and transporting the components independently up or down the stairs. ONLY use secure, non- detachable parts on each component for hand-hold supports.

DO NOT attempt to lift a powered scooter by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of removable (detachable) parts may result in injury to the user or assistants or damage to the powered scooter.
