II. SAFETY
GENERAL
MANDATORY! Do not operate your new Travel Scooter for the first time without
completely reading and understanding this owner’s manual.
Your Travel Scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Mega
Motion provides an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the Travel Scooter user.
Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of Travel Scooter to be
used is the responsibility of the Travel Scooter user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her
healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted
the Travel Scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized
Mega Motion Provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the Travel Scooter user will need
to practice operating the Travel Scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be
defined as a family member or care professional specially trained in assisting a Travel Scooter user in
various daily living activities.
As you begin using your Travel Scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in
which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident
control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate
terrain.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed
to operating the Travel Scooter safely.
MODIFICATIONS
Mega Motion has designed and engineered your Travel Scooter to provide maximum mobility and utility.
A wide range of accessories is available from your authorized Mega Motion Provider to further customize
your Travel Scooter to better suit your needs and/or preferences. However, under no circumstances should
you modify, add, remove, or disable any feature, part, or function of your Travel Scooter.
WARNING! Do not modify your Travel Scooter in any way not authorized by Mega Motion.
Do not use accessories if they have not been tested or approved for Mega Motion
Products.
REMOVABLE PARTS
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move your Travel Scooter by any of its removable
parts, including the armrests, seat, or shroud. Mega Motion recommends use of only
solid, non-removable frame components such as scooter securement points or the front
and rear frame weldments to lift or move your scooter.
WARNING! Lifting the scooter should be accomplished with no fewer than three people,
one at the front and two at the rear of the unit.
