SPECIAL NOTES

WARNING/CAUTION notices as used in this manual apply to hazards or unsafe practices which could result in personal injury or property damage.

NOTICE

THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

As a manufacturer of powered scooters, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide variety of powered scooters to meet many needs of the end user. However, final selection of the type of powered scooter to be used by an individual rests solely with the user and his/her healthcare professional capable of making such a selection.

TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT RESTRAINTS

Powered scooter users should NOT be transported in vehicles of any kind while in the powered scooter. As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down systems for transportation of a user while in a powered scooter, in a moving vehicle of any type.

It is Invacare’s position that users of powered scooters should be transferred into appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the restraints made available by the auto industry. Invacare cannot and does not recommend any powered scooter transportation systems.

SEAT POSITIONING STRAP

It is the obligation of the Dealers, Therapists and other Healthcare Professionals to determine if a seating restraint is required to ensure the safe operation of this equipment by the user. Serious injury can occur in the event of a fall from a powered scooter.

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.
