2. SAFETY NOTICE
Lift/Elevation Products
Stairs and Escalators
If you will be transporting your scooter during travel, you may find it necessary to use
a vehicle-mounted lift system or elevation product to aid in transportation. CareCo
recommends that you closely review the warnings, instructions, specifications, and
safety information set firth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before
using that product.
Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.
WARNING! DO not use your scooter to negotiate steps or escalators.
WARNING! Do not sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle.
WARNING! Always be sure your scooter and its batteries are properly
secured when it is being transported. Batteries should be secured in an
upright position and protective caps should be installed on the battery
terminals. Batteries should not be transported with any flammable or
combustible items.
WARNING! Always turn off the power to the unit when you are being
transferred via an elevation product. Failure to do so may result in accidental
throttle control lever contact, resulting in unintended movement and per-
sonal injury or product damage.
