Invacare® Orion Series
WARNING!
The center of gravity of the scooter is higher
than that of a power wheelchair.
There is an increased tipping risk when
negotiating bends.
– Reduce speed before negotiating bends. Only
accelerate when you have come out of the
bend.
– Be aware that the seat height strongly
influences the center of gravity. The higher the
seat height, the higher the risk of tipping.
WARNING!
Risk of tipping
Antitippers (stabilizers) are only effective on firm
ground. They sink in on soft ground such as
grass, snow or mud if the mobility device rests
itself on them. They lose their effect and the
mobility device can tip over.
– Only drive with extreme care on soft ground,
especially during uphill and downhill journeys.
In the process pay increased attention to the
tip stability of the mobility device.
CAUTION!
It may be difficult to turn in front of a lift or
building entrance because the scooter turning
circle may not necessarily comply with building
standards
– Always be aware of the limitations of
your scooter, particularly the turning circle
capabilities when entering a building or a lift.
Avoid driving situations in which you would
no longer be able to come out because you
cannot turn your scooter around.
