GENERAL GUIDELINES
STAIRWAYS
WARNING
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
occupant MUST be removed and transported independently of the
powered scooter. Extreme caution is advised when it is necessary to move
an UNOCCUPIED powered scooter up or down the stairs. Invacare
recommends disassembling the scooter and transporting the components
(five (5) components) independently up or down the stairs. Use ONLY
secure, non-detachable parts on each component for hand-hold supports.
DO NOT attempt to lift a powered scooter by any removable (detachable)
parts. Lifting by means of removable (detachable) parts may result in injury
to the user or assistants or damage to the powered scooter.
ESCALATORS
WARNING
DO NOT use an escalator to move a powered scooter between floors.
Serious bodily injury may occur.
Powered scooter without the batteries can weigh between 90 to 200 lbs.
(depending on the model). Use proper lifting techniques (lift with your legs)
to avoid injury.
Follow this procedure for moving the powered scooter between floors when an
elevator is NOT available:
1. Remove the occupant from the powered scooter.
2. Disassemble the scooter. Refer to TRANSPORTING in SECTION 9 of this manual.
3. Carefully move the powered scooter components up or down the stairway.
