MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your Travel Scooter while traveling in a motor vehicle.
The Travel Scooter should be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with the batteries
removed and properly secured. In addition, all removable Travel Scooter parts, including the armrests,
seat, and shroud should be removed and/or properly secured during motor vehicle transport.
WARNING! Although your Travel Scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this
belt is not designed to provide restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone travelling
in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle seat with safety belts
fastened securely.
WARNING! Do not sit on your Travel Scooter while it is in a moving vehicle.
WARNING! Always be sure your Travel Scooter and its batteries are properly secured
when it is being transported. Batteries should be secured in an upright position, and
protective caps should be installed on the battery terminals. Batteries should not be
transported with any flammable or combustible items.
POSITIONING BELTS
Although your Travel Scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide

Getting onto and off of your Travel Scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following
safety tips when getting onto and off of your Travel Scooter:
Remove the key from the key switch.

Ensure that the seat is secured into place.
Pivot the armrests up to make getting onto and off of the Travel Scooter easier.

the Travel Scooter from tipping and causing injury.

the armrests for weight bearing purposes, such as transfers. Such use may cause the
Travel Scooter to tip, resulting in a fall from the Travel Scooter and/or personal injury.
