Transport Your Amigo With A Lift-All
®
For greater convenience, obtain a Lift-All ® to assist you when loading and unloading. For more information
on the Lift-All ® , contact your Authorized Dealer. We recommend using vans with ramps, not elevating van lifts.
Airline Travel
“Special Handling” tags are suggested when transporting your Amigo by the Airlines.
(Figure 8). Nonspillable, gel cell batteries are approved for travel on airplanes. When
you make your reservation, notify the airline that you will be requesting “escort” service.
This will assure that your Amigo will be picked up and delivered at the boarding gate.

Public Transportation
Some public transportation systems have accommodations for your Amigo, but you must
transfer to a seat. When utilizing public transportation, do not sit on your Amigo while it is
being lifted onto the vehicle, or once the vehicle is in motion.
SAFETY WARNINGS
• The driving performance of your Amigo can be influenced by electromagnetic fields, such as emitted by cellular
telephones and other emitting devices. We recommend the power on your unit be switched off when using such a
device. (refer to Electromagnetic Interference section for additional information)
• In some extreme circumstances, your Amigo’s performance could be affected by the electromagnetic field emitted from
alarm systems in shops. (refer to Electromagnetic Interference section for additional information)
• The Amigo is fitted with Anti-Tip Devices, but this still means the maximum safe slope must not be exceeded.
In some extreme circumstances, Anti-Tippers may interfere with curb or obstacle climbing.
• The Anti-Tippers prevent the Amigo from tipping over when the user handles the vehicle.
• The Program Settings in the Controller should not be altered as this may give unsafe driving characteristics.
