Persons having disabilities which limit their ability to remain erect without assistance,
(stroke patients, severe muscular diseases, etc.) should carefully evaluate whether they
should operate a scooter at all. If they decide, with the advise of their physician or an-
other advisor, that they are capable of safely operating a scooter, they should consider
the use of a bicycle helmet or pads when operating a scooter. These articles would help
protect them should they fi nd themselves in a hazardous situation where they could
tip over because of their lack of balance. The controller can also be programmed to
fi t your requirements.
DIFFERENT STYLES OF SCOOTERS HAVE DIFFERENT INCLINE
CLIMBING ABILITIES. CAREFULLY STUDY THE CHART TO SEE THE
CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS FOR YOUR UNIT. DO NOT EXCEED THE
