Helpful Hints for everyday Use
Before using your EasyTravel Lite take the following precautions:

Ensure that the frame parts are securely positioned.
Speed Controls
Always operate your EasyTravel Lite at a reasonable speed for both your
personal safety and others.
Stopping
Dynamic braking will gradually bring your EasyTravel Lite to a stop when
hand control lever is released.
Ramps and Inclines
Lean forward and carefully manoeuvre your EasyTravel Lite up a ramp or
incline. Be aware that not all ramps are constructed according to Government
standards. The Government standard for wheelchair ramps is 2.5 cm (1 inch)
rise per 30 cm (1 foot).
Lower the speed setting to a slow speed when descending inclines.
Using an elevator
Backing into an elevator allows you to exit forward. Be sure that the elevator
is level with the floor.
Opening Doors
When a door opens towards you, approach at an angle and just off to one
side. Adjust the speed control to a low setting. Grasp the doorknob, reverse
and pull the door open. For doors that open away from you, position the front
of the scooter against the door, close to the doorjamb on the doorknob side of
the door. After you release the latch, use the scooter to push the door open.
WARNING:
Be careful with glass doors to avoid personal injury!
