SAFETY/HANDLING OF POWERED SCOOTERS

Proper positioning is essential for your safety.

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 it is necessary to move an UNOCCUPIED powered scooter up or down the stairs. Invacare recommends disassembling the scooter and transporting the components (five [5] components on 300 and six [6] components on 400) 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.

ESCALATORS

WARNING

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

Powered scooter without the batteries can weigh between 90 to 200 lbs (depending on the model). Use proper lifting techniques (lift with your legs) to avoid injury.

Follow this procedure for moving the powered scooter between floors when an elevator is NOT available:

1.Remove the occupant from the powered scooter.

2.Disassemble the scooter. Refer to Transporting the Scooter on page 60.

3.Carefully move the powered scooter components up or down the stairway.

4.Once all the components of the scooter are transported to the desired location reassemble the scooter. Refer to Transporting the Scooter on page 60.
