CHAPTER 3
– SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS for
AFISCOOTER S
GENERAL
MANDATORY! Do not operate your new AFISCOOTER S scooter for the first
time without reading and understanding this user manual completely.
Your
AFISCOOTER S is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed
to increase mobility. We provide an extensive range of products to best fit the
individual needs of the user. Please be aware that the final selection and
purchasing decision regarding the type of AFISCOOTER S scooter to be used is the
responsibility of a user who is capable of making such a decision and of his or her
healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has
properly fitted
AFISCOOTER S scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing
healthcare professional and/or the authorized dealer to give instructions for the use of the
product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the user will need
to practice operating the
AFISCOOTER S in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained
attendant can be defined as a family member or a professional specially trained in
assisting a user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your
AFISCOOTER S during daily activities, you will probably
encounter situations in which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you
will soon be in full and confident control as you manoeuvre through doorways, on and off
elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderately rough terrain.

operate the
