2 SAFETY

To assure stability and proper operation of your powered scooter, you MUST, at all times, maintain proper balance. Your powered scooter has been designed to remain upright and stable during normal daily activities.

Many activities require the scooter owner to reach, bend and transfer in and out of the powered scooter. These movements cause a change to the normal balance, the center of gravity, and the weight distribution of the powered scooter. To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before attempting active use of the scooter. Proper positioning is essential for your safety.

￿ WARNING

DO NOT stand on the frame of the powered scooter while driving. DO NOT stand on the shroud(s) of the powered scooter.

DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you, as this may cause the powered scooter to tip over.

DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the powered scooter may tip over.

Determine and establish your particular safety limits by practicing bending, reaching and transferring activities in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before attempting active use of the powered scooter.

For individuals with balance problems, DO NOT attempt to transfer into or out of the powered scooter without assistance. Practice transferring activities with an assistant in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional.

Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field or persons fully conversant with this process and the driver's capabilities. Incorrect settings could cause injury to the driver, bystanders and damage to the scooter and to surrounding property.

DO NOT operate the powered scooter until you have checked that the surroundings are clear and that the area is safe for travel.

DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.

DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with water, ice or oil film. Avoid operating the scooter in dark or poorly lit areas.

DO NOT climb and/or go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 8°.
