STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
GATSBY
scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators.
Always use an elevator.
WARNING! Do not use your GATSBY
scooter to negotiate stairs or escalators.
DOORS
Determine whether the door opens toward or away from you.
Use your hand to turn the knob or to push the handle or push-bar.
If the door opens away from you, drive your
GATSBY
gently and slowly forward to
push the door open.
If the door opens towards you, drive your
GATSBY
gently and slowly backwards to
pull the door open.
CORRIDORS
The minimum width of corridor in which the scooter can be turned to face the opposite
direction should be 2600 mm.
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a safety mechanism on the edge of the door that, when pushed,
reopens the door(s).
If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the
rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the
GATSBY
and the door
will reopen.
Take care that handbags, packages, or
GATSBY
accessories do not become caught in
elevator doors.
NOTE
: Sometimes manoeuvring your GATSBY may be difficult in elevators and building
entrances. Use caution when attempting to manoeuvre your
GATSBY
in small spaces,
and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
LIFTS /ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you travel with your
GATSBY
, you may find it necessary to use a lift or elevation product
to aid in transportation. We recommend that you closely review the manufacturer
’s
instructions, specifications, and safety information before using the lift/elevation product.
WARNING!
Never sit on your
GATSBY
when it is being used with any type of lift/elevation
product. Your
GATSBY
was not designed for such use, and any damage or injury resulting
from such use is not our responsibility.
