DO NOT attempt to move an occupied powered scooter between floors
using a stairway. Use an elevator to move an occupied powered scooter
between floors.
If moving a powered scooter between floors by means of a stairway, the

ONLY secure, non-detachable parts on each component for hand-hold
supports.

able) parts. Lifting by means of removable (detachable) parts may result
in injury to the user or assistants or damage to the powered scooter.
