Inclement Weather Precautions
Exposure of your scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible.
If while operating the scooter, you are caught in sudden rain, snow, severe cold, or heat, proceed
to shelter at the earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry your scooter and inspect for damage to all
components before storing or resuming use of this product.
WARNING! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist or spray conditions, and on icy or slippery surfaces
can have an adverse affect on your scooter. Maintain and store your scooter in a dry and clean
condition.
WARNING! Prolonged exposure to hot or cold conditions may affect the temperature of
upholstered and non-upholstered items on the scooter, possibly resulting in skin irritation.
Exercise caution when using the scooter in extremely hot or cold conditions or when exposing
your scooter to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.
WARNING! Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an
elevator. Never use your wheelchair to negotiate steps or escalators.
WARNING! Never reach, lean, or bend while seated in your scooter. It is important to maintain a
stable center of gravity and keep the scooter from tipping over. Never reach down between your
knees or over the back of the seat as these movements can change your center of gravity and the
weight distribution of the scooter. This may cause your scooter to tip over.
WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication or
if you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations may impair your ability
to operate your scooter in a safe manner.
WARNING! Do not operate your scooter while you are under the influence of alcohol, as this may
impair your ability to operate your scooter in a safe manner.
WARNING! The manufacturer strongly recommends that you do not smoke cigarettes while seated
in your scooter, although your scooter has passed the necessary testing requirements for
cigarette smoking, it is unsafe to smoke while operating your wheelchair.
