GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR SPORT SCOOTER
Getting onto and off of your Sport Scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety
tips when getting onto and off of your Sport Scooter:
n Ensure that your Sport Scooter is not in freewheel mode. See V. Your Sport Scooter.
n Make certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch.
n The seat armrests of the seat can be flipped up to make getting onto and off of the Sport Scooter easier.
WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the Sport Scooter seat to prevent
the Sport Scooter from tipping and causing injury.
WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause
the Sport Scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the
Sport Scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period
of time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle
control lever contact. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a
person while seated in a Sport Scooter.
Although your Sport Scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide proper
restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the
motor vehicle seat with safety belts fastened securely.
WARNING! Do not sit on your Sport Scooter while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury
and/or property damage may result.
WARNING! Always be sure your Sport Scooter and its batteries are properly secured when
it is being transported. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your
Sport Scooter.
REACHING AND BENDING
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your Sport Scooter. When reaching, bending, or leaning while seated on
your Sport Scooter, it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the Sport Scooter from tipping.
Pride recommends that the Sport Scooter user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and
reaching in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the
floor by reaching down between your knees. Movements such as these may change your
center of gravity and the weight distribution of the Sport Scooter and cause your Sport
Scooter to tip, possibly resulting in personal injury. Keep your hands away from the tires
when driving.
