II. SAFETY
CURBS & SINGLE STEPS
1. Your Geo Cruiser is not designed to drive up or down a curb or step more than 1/2 inch
high. Doing so may:
a. Result in a fall or tip-over.
b. Damage the frame, wheels, axles or other Power chair parts, or loosen fasteners.
2. To prevent a fall or tip-over, use power chair access ramps or have someone help you.
3. If you must climb or descend a curb or step alone do so at your own risk and use
extreme care. Go as straight up or straight down as you can. Never turn or climb or
descend at an angle as a fall or tip-over is likely. Proceed slowly, at a steady speed.
4.
Make sure that persons who assist you review the “Tips for Attendants” and heed all
warnings.
5. Avoid driving along curb edges and drop-
offs. A minimum distance of eight inches (“8”)
from the curb is recommended.
CENTER OF BALANCE
The point where the Geo Cruiser will tip forward, back or to the side depends on its center of
balance and stability. The center of balance is affected by:
1. The seat height and seat angle.
2. A change in your body position, posture or weight distribution.
3. Using the Geo Cruiser on a ramp or slope.
4. The use of a back pack or other options, and the amount of added weight.
To Reduce the Risk of A Fall Or Tip-Over:
1. Consult our tech on modifications authorized by The Geo Cruiser before you modify or
adjust your Geo Cruiser. Use extreme care until you know the balance points of your Geo
Cruiser and how to avoid a fall or tip-over.
STAIRS
Never use your Geo Cruiser to go up or down stairs, even with an attendant. Doing so is likely
to cause a fall or tip-over
ESCALATORS
Never take your Geo Cruiser on an escalator, even with an attendant. Doing so is likely to cause
a fall or tip-over.
