perpendicular to the incline and/or low curb; both front
wheels should contact the incline/low curb at the same
time. To reduce the possibility of a fall, do not drive at
an angle; do not get one wheel or side of the scooter on
the incline/low curb first. Always exercise extreme
caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! Do not travel up or down potentially
hazardous surfaces and/or inclines, including but
not limited to areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass,
or wet leaves.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, try to keep

WARNING! When descending an incline, use the
slowest speed possible. If the descent is faster
than you desire, release the throttle control lever to
stop the scooter. Then press the throttle control lever
slightly to control the speed of your descent.
WARNING! The maximum recommended incline
angles (see specifications) are tested in a
controlled environment. Your scooter’s ability to climb
up inclines is affected by your weight, speed and the
angle you approach the incline among other factors.
WARNING! Only drive backwards on a flat
surface. When driving backwards, operate your
scooter at a lower and even speed. Stop often and
check to make sure your path is clear of obstacles. To
prevent tipping, do not travel down an incline or ramp
backwards.
WARNING! To avoid overloading the scooters
and potential tipping, never carry anything or fill
the basket with contents weighing more than 15lbs
(6.8kg).
WARNING! Avoid any change of position or
movement that may change your center of
gravity while sitting on the scooter. This may cause your
scooter to tip.
WARNING! A drop-off (as small as 2 inches) at
the bottom of a slope can stop a front wheel and
cause the scooter to tip forward.
WARNING! Never reach or lean if you must shift
your weight sideways or rise up off the seat.
WARNING! Never reach or lean if you must move
forward in your seat to do so. Always keep your
buttocks in contact with the backrest.
WARNING! Never try to pick up an object from
the floor by reaching down between your knees.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SCOOTER
10
WARNING! Never reach or lean over the top of
the seat back. This may damage the backrest and
cause you to fall.
WARNING! Do not use the armrests for any
weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause
the scooter to tip, which may result in a fall from the
scooter and personal injury.
WARNING! Do not put all of your weight on one
side of the scooter deck. Such use may cause
the scooter to tip.
WARNING! Even though your scooter may be
capable of handling greater obstacles, we
recommend that you do not attempt to negotiate a curb
that has a height greater than 2” (5cm). Doing so could
cause instability in your scooter. Riding over curbs or
obstacles can cause tipping and serious bodily harm. If
you have any doubt that you can safely cross any curb
or obstacle, ALWAYS ASK FOR HELP. Be aware of
your riding skills and personal limitations. You may need
to remove or cover threshold strips between rooms and
install a ramp at entry or exit doors.
WARNING! Do not try to climb an obstacle when
on an incline.
WARNING! Do not drive over an obstacle with
just one wheel.
WARNING! Do not drive on uneven terrain and/or
soft surfaces.
WARNING! Do not drive near tall grass that can
entangle the running gear.
WARNING! Avoid driving on loosely packed
gravel and/or sandy surfaces.
WARNING! Do not use your scooter on or near
railroad tracks or crossings.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SCOOTER

WARNING! Do not ride your scooter along the
edges of streams, lakes, or the ocean. Never use
your scooter to cross waterways.
WARNING! If you feel unsure about a driving
surface, avoid that surface.
WARNING! Do not expose your scooter to open
flames.
WARNING! Keep your scooter in a dry and clean
condition. Never take your scooter into a shower,
tub, pool, or sauna. Rain, snow, salt, mist/spray
conditions, and icy/slippery surfaces can damage the
scooter components or cause the scooter frame to
prematurely rust.
WARNING! Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or
cold; it may affect the temperature of
upholstered and non-upholstered components on the
scooter. Exercise caution when using your scooter in
extremely hot or cold conditions.
WARNING! Do not tow your scooter. Towing may
exceed the maximum speed threshold, resulting
in damage to critical components of the scooter.
WARNING! Use extreme caution when it is
necessary to move an unoccupied scooter up or
down stairs. Remove the seat, batteries, and any
accessories before attempting the transfer. Use proper
lifting techniques and use only solid, non-removable
frame components to lift the scooter with multiple
physically capable attendants. Do not lift or move your
scooter or seating system by grasping or holding onto
any of its removable parts, including the armrest(s),
seat cushions, seatback, or shrouds.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SCOOTER

WARNING! When your scooter is used with any
type of lift/elevation devices, always turn off the
power of the scooter; make sure the scooter is not in
“freewheel”mode and do NOT sit on your scooter.
Failure to follow this may result in unintended
movement and personal injury or product damage.
WARNING! Never use your scooter to negotiate
stairs or escalators.
WARNING! Never sit on the scooter while it is in
a moving vehicle.
WARNING! It is dangerous to transfer to and
from your scooter on your own. It requires good
balance and agility. Be aware that there is a point during
every transfer when the seat is not below you.
WARNING! To make a safe transfer: Always turn
off the power before you transfer to or from your
scooter. If you fail to do so you may touch the throttle
control lever and cause your scooter to move when you
do not expect it. Make sure motor locks are engaged;
this keeps the scooter from moving when you transfer.
Work with your health care professional to learn how to
position your body and how to support yourself during a
transfer. Have someone help you until you are sure you
do a safe transfer on your own. Move your scooter as
close as you can to the seat you are transferring to.
Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can.
This will reduce the risk that you will miss the seat or
fall.
WARNING! Never transport the scooter in the
front seat of a vehicle. It may shift and interfere
with the driver.
WARNING! Always secure the scooter so that it
cannot roll or shift.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SCOOTER

WARNING! Should the fittings on your seating
system become loose, please call your approved
service provider.
WARNING! Replace worn or damaged upholstery
immediately to reduce the risk of fire hazard.
WARNING! Be aware that washing of
upholstered items may reduce the fabric’s
resistance to flammability.
WARNING! Radio wave sources, such as radio
stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones ,can
affect motorised scooter control. Following the warnings
listed below should reduce the chance of unintended
brake release or motorised scooter movement, which
could result in serious injury.
1) Do not turn ON hand-held personal
communication devices, such as citizens band (CB)
radios and cellular phones, while the motorised
scooter is turned ON;
2) Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or
TV stations, and try to avoid coming close to them;
3) If unintended movement or brake release occurs,
turn the motorised scooter OFF as soon as it is
safe;
4) Be aware that adding accessories or components,
or modifying the motorised scooter, may make it
more susceptible to interference from radio wave
sources (Note: There is no easy way to evaluate
their effect on the overall immunity of the
motorised scooter); and
5) Report all incidents of unintended movement or
brake release to the motorised scooter
manufacturer, and note whether there is a radio
wave source nearby.
