STAIRWAYS AND ESCALATORS

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 the powered scooter by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a powered scooter may result in injury to the user or damage to the powered scooter.

DO NOT use an escalator to move a powered scooter between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur.

Powered scooter with batteries and seat weighs between 103 and 112 lbs. Powered scooter without the batteries can weigh between 80 and 89 lbs. Use proper lifting techniques (lift with your legs) to avoid injury.

DO NOT attempt to lift the powered scooter by its tiller, seat or shrouds.

If scooter is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure handgrips DO NOT twist on scooter handles. Otherwise, damage or injury may occur.
