ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the Travel Scooter and the door will reopen.
Use care that handbags, packages, or Travel Scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you will be traveling with your Travel Scooter, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product to aid in transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the instructions, specifications, and safety information set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product.
WARNING! Never sit on your Travel Scooter when it is being used in connection with any type of lift/elevation product. Your Travel Scooter was not designed with such use in mind and any damage or injury incurred from such use is not the responsibility of Pride.
BATTERIES
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.
WARNING! Travel Scooter batteries are heavy (refer to the specifications table). Lifting weight beyond your capacity could result in personal injury. If necessary, get someone physically able to lift the Travel Scooter batteries for you.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.
