Be aware that your weight will shift if you dress or change clothes while seated in this scooter.

P. OBSTACLES

Obstacles you may have to overcome in daily use include door thresholds, lifts, ramps and hazards such as potholes and broken pavement. These can damage your scooter and may cause a fall, tip-over or loss of control.

1.Be aware that thresholds are very dangerous. (Even a small change in height may stop a caster wheel and cause your scooter to tip). You may need to:

•Remove or cover threshold strips between rooms.

•Install a ramp at entry or exit doors.

2.Keep your eyes moving when you ride; scan the area well ahead of your scooter.

3.Make sure the floor areas where you use this scooter are level and free of obstacles.

4.To help correct your center of balance:

•Lean your upper body forward slightly as you go up over an obstacle.

•Press your upper body backward as you go down from a higher to a lower level.

Q. DRIVING IN REVERSE

Use extra care when you drive your scooter in reverse. You may lose control or fall if one of the rear wheels hits an object.

1.Operate your scooter slowly and at an even speed.

2.Stop often and check to make sure your path is clear of obstacles.

R. RAMPS, SLOPES & SIDEHILLS

The center of balance of your scooter changes when you are on a slope.

NOTE– “Slope” includes a ramp or sidehill. Your scooter is less stable when it is at an angle. Never use this scooter on a slope unless you are sure it is safe.

When in doubt, have someone help you.

Beware Of:

1.Steep slopes. Do Not use this scooter on a slope steeper than 10%. (A 10% slope means: One foot in elevation for every ten feet of slope length).

2.Wet or slippery surfaces (such as when ice, snow, water or oil film is present). A loss of traction may cause a fall or tip-over.

3.A change in grade on a slope (or a lip, bump or depression). These may cause a fall or tip-over.

4.A drop-off at the bottom of a slope. (A drop-off of as small as 3/4 inch can stop a front caster and cause the scooter to tip forward).
