ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a safety mechanism on the edge of the door that, when pushed,
reopens the door(s).
 If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the
rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the Breeze S; and the door
will reopen.
 Take care that handbags, packages, or Breeze S accessories do not become caught
in elevator doors.
NOTE: Sometimes manoeuvring your Breeze S may be difficult in elevators and building
entrances. Use caution when attempting to manoeuvre your Breeze S in small spaces,
and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
LIFTS/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you travel with your Breeze S, you may find it necessary to use a lift or elevation product
to aid in transportation. We recommend that you closely review the manufacturer’s
instructions, specifications, and safety information before using the lift/elevation product.
WARNING! Never sit on your Breeze S when it is being used with any type of lift/elevation
product. Your Breeze S was not designed for such use, and any damage or injury
resulting from such use is not our responsibility.

travelling in a motor vehicle. The Breeze S should be stowed in the boot of a car or in the
back of a truck or van with the batteries removed and properly secured. In addition, all
removable Breeze S parts, including the armrests, seat, and shroud, should be removed
