ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens
the door(s).
ü 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 scooter
and the door will reopen.
ü Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Breeze S Scooter accessories do not
become caught in elevator doors.
NOTE: Sometimes turning with your Breeze S Scooter may be difficult to maneuver
in elevators and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or
maneuver your Breeze S Scooter in small spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a
problem.
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you will be traveling with your
Breeze S scooter, you may find it necessary to use
a lift/elevation product to aid in transportation. We recommends that you closely
review the instructions, specifications, and safety information set forth by the
manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product.
WARNING! Never sit on your Breeze S Scooter when it is being used in connection
with any type of lift/elevation product. Your Breeze S Scooter was not designed with
such use in mind and any damage or injury incurred from such use is not the
responsibility of us.
