Getting Onto and OFF Your Mobility Scooter
Getting onto and off your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following
safety tips when getting on and off your scooter:

Remove the key from the key switch

Ensure that your scooter is not in freewheel mode

Ensure that the seat is secured in place

Pivot the armrests up
WARNING!
Position yourself as far back as possible in the seat
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the armrests, and do not make the armrests bear weight, such
as during transfers.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard
The abovementioned actions may cause your scooter to become unstable and tip, causing injury or damage
Reaching and Bending
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your scooter. Bending forward creates the risk of accidentally
contacting the throttle control lever. Bending to the side while seated creates the risk of tipping. It is
important to maintain a stable centre of gravity, we recommend that you determine your personal
limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified attendant.
WARNING!
Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the scooter deck or
from either side of the scooter. Movements such as these may change your centre of gravity and the weight
distribution of the scooter
, causing it to tip. PROHIBITED! Keep your hands away from the tyres and wheels
when driving. Be aware that loose-fitting clothing can become caught in tyres and wheels.
