RIDING YOUR BUZZAROUND™

Control through tight spots

As you use your Buzzaround™ to increase your mobility, you will undoubtedly encounter some obstacles that will require practice to negotiate smoothly and safely. Below are some common obstacles that you may meet during the daily use of your scooter. Listed with those obstacles are some driving tips that should help you conquer those obstacles. Learn and follow those tips, and with surprising ease you will soon be in control of your scooter as you maneuver it through doors, up and down ramps, up and over curbs, through grass and gravel, and up and down inclines.

Doors

•Approach any unfamiliar door slowly.

•Notice if the door has a knob or a push bar.

•Determine if the door opens towards you or away from you.

•Do not try to use your own strength to open the door. Learn to use the power of your scooter to do the majority of the work for you.

If the door opens away from you:

1.Use one hand to turn the doorknob or to operate the push bar.

2.Use your other hand to steer the scooter and to gently press on the thumb lever that will move your scooter slowly forward.

3.Use your arm to push the door gently open.

4.Drive through the doorway.

5.If it is a self-closing door, it will close behind you.

6.If it is not a self-closing door, stop your scooter when it is clear of the door and use your hand to push the door closed.

If the door opens towards you:

1.Use one hand to turn the doorknob or to pull the handle.

2.Keep your grip on the knob or on the handle.

3.Use your other hand to steer your scooter and to gently press the thumb lever that will move your scooter slowly in reverse.

4.Allow the power of your Buzzaround to pull the door completely open.

5.When the door is completely open, stop your scooter.

6.Drive through the doorway while keeping your hand on the door to prevent it from hitting or blocking your scooter.

7.If it is a self-closing door, it will close behind you.

8.If it is not a self-closing door, pull it closed behind you.

Ramps

Because of the American Disabilities Act (ADA), many buildings are fitted with ramps that provide access for scooters and for other mobility vehicles.
