SAFETY
Your Golden Alante´™ is a battery-operated personal mobility vehicle.
Please exercise caution and consideration when you are operating it.
Driving your Alante´ carefully and thoughtfully will help ensure your
personal safety and the safety of other people.
Note: Before learning to operate your Alante´, have your Golden
Technologies, Inc. representative determine if it is advisable for you to
practice getting on and off your Alanté and operating it in the presence of
an attendant.
BEFORE getting on your Alante´
• Check to be certain that the power is turned OFF. See “Operation”
section on pag 24. This will eliminate the possibility of accidentally
activating the joystick controller and causing injury to you or to others.
• Check to be certain that your Alante´ is not in the freewheel mode. See
the “Operation” section on page 27.
•
Flip up the armrests.
•
If your chair is equipped with leg rests, move them to the sides.
•
If your chair is equipped with a footrest, flip it to the “up” position.
Getting ON your Alante´
• Be careful not to entangle yourself in the leg rests or the footrest, seat
yourself comfortably and securely on the seat.
• Adjust the leg rests or flip down the footrest.
• Flip down the armrests.
• Fasten the lap belt.
Getting OFF your Alante´
• Make certain that the power is turned off.
• Unfasten the lap belt.
• Flip up the armrests.
• Flip up the footrest, or move the leg rests to the sides.
• While being careful not to entangle yourself in the leg rests or the

MAXIMUM WEIGHT
Your Alante´ has been rated to a maximum payload (passenger and
anything else being carried on the Alante´) of 300 pounds.
Exceeding the maximum weight rating will void the warranty.
Exceeding the maximum weight rating may also result in
injury to you and to others. When getting on or off your Alante´, do not
put most of your weight on the footrest. Raise the footrest during
transfer. Standing on the footrest may cause the chair to tip.
