2 SAFETY
Lynx™L-3 & Lynx L-4 Scooters 10 Part No. 1143205
To assure stability and proper operation of your powered scooter, you MUST, at all times, maintain proper balance. Your powered scooter has been
designed to remain upright and stable during normal daily activities.
Many activities require the scooter owner to reach, bend and transfer in and out of the powered scooter. These movements cause a change to the
normal balance, the center of gravity, and the weight distribution of the powered scooter. To determine and establish your particular safety limits,
practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before attempting
active use of the scooter. Proper positioning is essential for your safety.
ƽ WARNING

tip over.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the powered scooter may tip over.
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.

assistance. Practice transferring activities with an assistant in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional.
Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field or persons fully conversant with this
