Stability and Balance
ƽ WARNING
DO NOT make sharp turns in the forward or reverse direction at excessive speed.
Failure to observe the warning can cause the scooter to tip over and may result in
injury to user and/ or damage to the product.
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the seat positioning strap is
an option on this scooter (you may order with or without the seat positioning
strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning strap as an
additional safeguard for the scooter user. 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 attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat or pick
them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
Be aware that carrying heavy objects on your lap while occupying the scooter may
adversely affect the stability of the scooter, resulting in serious bodily injury to the
user, damage to the scooter and surrounding property.
This scooter has been designed to accommodate one individual. If more than one
individual occupies the scooter this may adversely affect the stability of the scooter,
resulting in serious bodily injury to the user and passenger and damage to the
scooter and surrounding property.
