SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Part No. 1118395 15 300 and 400
Ensure that the seat is locked in the FORWARD position before and during the operation
of the scooter. Otherwise, injury to the user and/or damage to the scooter may result.
DO NOT adjust the seat position outside the specifications recommended by the
manufacturer.
Ensure that the tiller is properly adjusted before driving the scooter.
After making any tiller angle adjustment and before use, the tiller must be securely locked
into position. Otherwise that user may fall from the scooter resulting in bodily harm and/
or damage to the scooter. Gently push/pull the tiller to ensure that the tiller is securely
engaged.
DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to the
frame tubing.
Do determine and establish your particular safety limits by practicing bending, reaching
and transferring activities in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional BEFORE
attempting active use of the powered scooter.
ALWAYS DO keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
ALWAYS DO 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.
ALWAYS DO check hand grips for looseness before using the powered scooter. If loose
and/or worn, replace immediately.
Avoid storing or using the scooter near external flame or combustible products. Serious
injury or damage to property may result.
TIRE PRESSURE
DO NOT use your powered scooter unless it has the proper tire pressure (P.S.I.). DO NOT
overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these recommendations may cause the tire to
explode and cause bodily harm. The recommended tire pressure is listed on the side wall
of the tire.
ELECTRICAL
Check to ensure that all electrical connections are secure at all times.
