is fastened securely.
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS/PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS
The scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her scooter. This includes
awareness of safety issues when taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific
physical limitations.

medication or if you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations
may impair your ability to operate your scooter in a safe manner.
ALCOHOL/SMOKING

your scooter, although the scooter has passed the necessary testing requirements for
cigarette smoking. You must adhere to the following safety guidelines if you decide to
smoke cigarettes while seated in your scooter.

Keep ashtrays a safe distance from the seat cushions.

hazard.
