Avenger Owner’s Manual Revised 06/04/08 RIDING YOUR AVENGER™ Control through tight spots As you use your Avenger™ to increase your mobility, you will undoubtedly encounter some obstacles that will require practice to negotiate smoothly and safely. Below are some common obstacles that you may meet during the daily use of your scooter. Listed with those obstacles are some driving tips that should help you conquer those obstacles. Learn and follow those tips, and with surprising ease you will soon be in control of your scooter as you maneuver it through doors, up and down ramps, up and over curbs, through grass and gravel, and up and down inclines. Doors • Approach any unfamiliar door slowly. • Notice if the door has a knob or a push bar. • Determine if the door opens towards you or away form you. • Do not try to use your own strength to open the door. Learn to use the power of your scooter to do the majority of the work for you. If the door opens away from you: 1. Use one hand to turn the doorknob or to operate the push bar. 2. Use your other hand to steer the scooter and to gently press on the thumb lever that will move your scooter slowly forward. 3. Use your arm to push the door gently open. 4. Drive through the doorway. 5. If it is a self-closing door, it will close behind you. 6. If it is not a self-closing door, stop your scooter when it is clear of the door and use your hand to push the door closed. If the door opens towards you: 1. Use one hand to turn the doorknob or to pull the handle. 2. Keep your grip on the knob or on the handle. 3. Use your other hand to steer your scooter and to gently press the thumb lever that will move your scooter slowly in reverse. 4. Allow the power of your Avenger™ to pull the door completely open. 5. When the door is completely open, stop your scooter. 6. Drive through the doorway while keeping your hand on the door to prevent it from hitting or blocking your scooter. 7. If it is a self-closing door, it will close behind you. 8. If it is not a self-closing door, pull it closed behind you. Ramps Because of the American Disabilities Act (ADA), many buildings are fitted with ramps that provide access for scooters and for other mobility vehicles. Avenger Owner’s Manual Revised 06/04/08 RIDING YOUR AVENGER™ When proceeding up any ramp, curb, or incline: • Lean forward in your seat to move your center of gravity forward for maximum stability and safety. If the ramp has a switchback, good cornering ability is required. • Maneuver your scooter so that the front wheels take wide swings around the corners of the ramp. • Doing this will allow your scooter’s back wheels to follow a wide arc around the corner, staying clear of obstacles. If you must stop your scooter while driving up a ramp: • Starting up again simply requires that you apply gentle and steady forward power (pressure to the right-hand thumb lever). • Accelerate gently after stopping on any incline. Driving down a ramp: • Keep your Avenger™ speed control dial set fully counterclockwise at the slowest speed setting. • If you must come to a stop, release the thumb control lever slowly and smoothly. Curbs • Always use caution when negotiating any curb. • Go up or down a curb only at a direct angle. • Approach and negotiate the curb so that both back wheels of your scooter go over the curb at the same time. • Never negotiate inclines or curbs by traversing them. Doing so my cause the scooter to tip over • Go down a curb slowly to avoid a jarring bump. Use as little power as possible. Grass and Gravel Your Avenger™ performs admirably on grass, gravel, and hills, but you must follow the operational parameters presented in this manual. Refer to the "Safety” section.
