WARNING!
Risk of injury or damage
Operating the wheelchair with a ground clearance of
less than 3 inches (7.62 cm) between the footplate and
ground/floor may cause injury or equipment/property
damage.
–
ALWAYS maintain a minimum of 3 inches (7.62
cm) between the bottom of the footplate and
ground/floor to ensure proper ground clearance while
the personal transporter is in motion. If necessary,
adjust the footplate height to achieve proper ground
clearance. After footplate height adjustment, if the
personal transporter dips forward and the footplates
touch the ground while in motion, please contact
your dealer for an inspection and avoid use of the
personal transporter if possible. Otherwise, injury or
equipment/property damage may occur.
WARNING!
–
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and before
use, make sure that all attaching hardware is tightened
securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.

Before performing any maintenance, adjustment or
service, verify that ON/OFF switch on the joystick is
in the OFF position.

DO NOT stand on the flip-up footboard. When
getting in or out of the personal transporter, make
sure that the flip-up footboard is in the upward
position.
–
Limited Clearance Between Footboard and Caster -
The user’s feet must remain on the footboard while
operating the personal transporter. If the user’s feet
are allowed to rest off the side of the footboard they
may come in contact with the caster possibly resulting
