Transfers
Transferring on and off your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Always have an attendant
present while learning to properly transfer. To eliminate the possibility of injury, we recommend
that you or a trained attendant perform the following tasks before attempting a transfer:
■
Turn power off.
■
Ensure the parking brake is engaged and make sure the seat is fixed securely in place.
WARNING! Before transferring, engage the parking brake.
WARNING! Before transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the scooter
seat to prevent the scooter from tipping forward during transfer.
WARNING! Avoid putting your weight on the scooter tiller or handlebar. Such use may
cause the scooter to tip, resulting in a fall from the scooter and personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting your weight on the scooter foot pedals. Such use may cause
the scooter to tip or the pedals to break. When standing up, put both feet securely on
the ground (not the foot pedals) and then stand up.
Physical Limitations
Users must exercise care and common sense when operating a scooter. This includes
awareness of safety issues that arise because of particular physical limitations of the
scooter user.
WARNING! Do not operate your scooter if your ability to operate the scooter safely is
impaired in any way. Examples include, but are not limited to, a lack of awareness of
surroundings or lack of capacity to think clearly; impaired vision or hearing; or
impaired dexterity of upper extremities that limits the capacity to use controls or steer.
Operating this scooter while impaired in any way may result in erratic steering,
acceleration, braking, instability, tipping, misdirection, and/or collision with persons or
objects. Any of these circumstances can result in serious personal injury or death
.
