WARNING!

 Avoid driving on loosely packed 

gravel and/or sandy surfaces. 

WARNING! 

Do not use your scooter on or near 

railroad tracks or crossings.   

WARNING!

 Do not ride your scooter along the 

edges of streams, lakes, or the ocean. Never use 

your scooter to cross waterways. 

WARNING!

 If you feel unsure about a driving 

surface, avoid that surface. 

WARNING!

 Do not expose your scooter to open 

flames. 

WARNING!

 Keep your scooter in a dry and clean 

condition.    Never take your scooter into a shower, 

tub, pool, or sauna.    Rain, snow, salt, mist/spray 

conditions, and icy/slippery surfaces can damage the 
scooter components or cause the scooter frame to 

prematurely rust.   

WARNING!

 Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or 

cold; it may affect the temperature of 

upholstered and non-upholstered components on the 

scooter. Exercise caution when using your scooter in 
extremely hot or cold conditions. 

WARNING!

 Do not tow your scooter. Towing may 

exceed the maximum speed threshold, resulting 

in damage to critical components of the scooter. 

WARNING!

 Use extreme caution when it is 

necessary to move an unoccupied scooter up or 

down stairs. Remove the seat, batteries, and any 
accessories before attempting the transfer. Use proper 
lifting techniques and use only solid, non-removable 

frame components to lift the scooter with multiple 
physically capable attendants. Do not lift or move your 

scooter or seating system by grasping or holding onto 
any of its removable parts, including the armrest(s), 

seat cushions, seatback, or shrouds.
