GENERAL
MANDATORY! Do not operate your new Scooter for the first time without ompletely
reading and understanding this owner’s manual and the Consumer Safety Guide.
Your Scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. We provide an
extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the Scooter user. Please be aware that the
final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of Scooter to be used is the responsibility of the
Scooter user who is capable of making such a decision and his/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
the Scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized
Provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the Scooter user will need to
practice operating the Scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as
a family member or care professional specially trained in assisting a Scooter user in various daily living
activities.
As you begin using your Scooter 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 maneuver through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
Additional general information can be found on the supplemental information sheets and booklets
included in your Owner’s Package. Please fully read and review the information, and keep it readily
available for future reference.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed
to operating the Scooter safely.
■
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK

before each use to make sure your Scooter operates smoothly and safely.

Perform the following inspections prior to using your Scooter:
Check the condition of the tires. Make sure they are not damaged or excessively worn.
Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.

Check the battery condition meter to ensure the batteries are fully charged.
Ensure the manual freewheel lever is in drive mode before sitting on the Scooter.
