PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of
time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle
control lever contact.
GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR Breeze C SCOOTER
Getting onto and off of your Breeze C scooter requires a good sense of
balance. Please observe the following safety tips when getting onto and off
of your Breeze C scooter:
 Remove the key from the key switch.
 Ensure that your Breeze C scooter is not in freewheel mode.
See 3- “General description of the Breeze C scooter.”
 Ensure that the seat is secured into place.
 Pivot the armrests up to make getting onto and off of the Breeze C scooter easier.
WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the Breeze C scooter seat to
prevent the Breeze C scooter from tipping and causing injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the Breeze C scooter armrests and do not
use the armrests for weight bearing purposes, such as transfers. Such use may cause the
Breeze C scooter to tip, resulting in a fall from the Breeze C scooter and/or personal
injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the
Breeze C scooter to tip.
REACHING AND BENDING
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your Breeze C Scooter. Bending forward creates
the risk of accidental throttle control lever contact. Bending to the side while seated
creates the risk of tipping. It is important to maintain a stable centre of gravity and keep the
Breeze C Scooter from tipping. We recommend that the Breeze C scooter user determine
his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a
qualified attendant.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the
Breeze C Scooter deck or from either side of the Breeze C scooter. Movements such as
these may change your center of gravity and the weight distribution of the Breeze C
scooter and cause your Breeze C scooter to tip.
PROHIBITED! Keep your hands away from the tires and wheels when driving. Be aware
that loose fitting clothing can become caught in drive tires and wheels.
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS/PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS
The Breeze C scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her
Breeze C scooter. This includes awareness of safety issues when taking prescribed or
over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations.
WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter
medication or if you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations
may impair your ability to operate your Breeze C scooter in a safe manner.
