To Transport Your Companion:
• Disassemble or fold down the seat and tiller (see section VII. “Disassembly”) as close as
possible to the loading area of the vehicle to be used for transporting your scooter.
• The degree to which you disassemble your Companion or fold the seat and tiller depends
on the size and shape of the cargo area of the transporting vehicle.
• Do not lift your Companion by its plastic body parts or tiller. Breakage of these parts is
not covered by the warranty.
• Do not use the tires or wheels to lift the rear carriage. The carriage may rotate and cause
injury or damage.
• Moving blankets or other forms of padding may be used to protect your Companion
during transportation.
WARNING: If your scooter and its components are not properly and securely stowed
during transportation, the scooter or the components may move or become airborne
and cause injury or damage.
WARNING: Never sit on your Companion when it is being transported. Always fasten
down your Companion securely with an approved tie-down system while transporting
your scooter.
