SECTION 3—SAFETY/HANDLING OF POWERED SCOOTERS

“Safety and Handling” of the powered scooter requires the close attention of the user. This manual points out the most common procedures and techniques involved in the safe operation and maintenance. It is important to practice and master these safe techniques until you are comfortable in maneuvering the powered scooter.

Use this information only as a “basic” guide. The techniques that are discussed have been used successfully by many. Individual users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities that may differ from those described in this manual. Invacare recognizes and encourages each individual to try what works best for him/her in overcoming obstacles that they may encounter; however, all warnings and cautions given in this manual MUST be followed. Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new powered scooter user with “safety” as the most important consideration for all.

Stability and Balance

WARNING

DO NOT make sharp turns in the forward or reverse direction at excessive speed. Failure to observe the warning can cause the scooter to tip over and may result in injury to user and/ or damage to the product.

ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the seat positioning strap is an option on this scooter (you may order with or without the seat positioning strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning strap as an additional safeguard for the scooter user. The seat positioning strap is a positioning belt only. It is not designed for use as a safety device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, belt MUST be replaced immediately.

DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat or pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.

Be aware that carrying heavy objects on your lap while occupying the scooter may adversely affect the stability of the scooter, resulting in serious bodily injury to the user, damage to the scooter and surrounding property.

This scooter has been designed to accommodate one individual. If more than one individual occupies the scooter this may adversely affect the stability of the scooter, resulting in serious bodily injury to the user and passenger and damage to the scooter and surrounding property.

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.
