Safety Handling
WARNING!
– DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward
the direction you are reaching as the personal
transporter and/or seating system (if any) may tip
over.
– ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts
to avoid injury.
– DO NOT use with a broken or missing joystick knob.
– DO NOT use if joystick does not spring back to the
neutral position or becomes sticky or sluggish.
– DO NOT use if joystick boot is torn or damaged.
– DO NOT engage or disengage the motor locks until
the power is in the off position.
A Note to Personal Transporter Assistants
When assistance to the personal transporter user is required,
remember to use good body mechanics. Keep your back straight and
bend your knees whenever tilting personal transporter or traversing
curbs or other impediments.
WARNING!
– Also, be aware of detachable parts such as arms,
legrests, or the seat. These MUST NEVER be used to
move the personal transporter or as lifting supports,
as they may be inadvertently released, resulting in
possible injury to the user and/or assistant(s)
When learning a new assistance technique, have an experienced
assistant help you before attempting it alone.
Stability and Balance
WARNING!
– ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. The seat
positioning strap is a positioning belt only. It is not
designed for use as a safety device withstanding high
stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts.
If signs of wear appear, belt MUST be replaced
IMMEDIATELY.
– DO NOT use on inclines greater than 6°.
– DO NOT use on inclines with wet, slippery, icy or
oily surfaces. This may include certain painted or
otherwise treated wood surfaces.
– DO NOT traverse down ramps at high speed. Doing
so will reduce traction and increase stopping distance.
– ALWAYS traverse down ramps at a reduced, constant
speed to maintain stability and to avoid hard braking
or sudden stops.
– The end user’s weight can materially affect traction
on sloped surfaces. Great care should be taken when
traversing such slopes.
– ALWAYS reduce speed when traveling up or down an
incline or over obstacles and rough terrain. Traveling
under these conditions may shift the users weight
forward resulting in reduced stability.
– Exercise caution and avoid sudden stops when
traveling up or down an incline or over obstacles and
rough terrain. If stopping becomes necessary under
these driving conditions, release the joystick and allow
the personal transporter to come to a full stop. Then
proceed at a slower speed
