CHAPTER 3 – SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS for Breeze C
GENERAL
MANDATORY! Do not operate your new Breeze C scooter for the first time
without reading and understanding this user manual completely.
Your Breeze C is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to
increase mobility. We provide an extensive range of products to best fit the
individual needs of the user. Please be aware that the final selection and
purchasing decision regarding the type of Breeze C scooter to be used is the responsibility
of a user who is capable of making such a decision and of his or 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 Breeze C scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing
healthcare professional and/or the authorized dealer to give instructions for the use of the

There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the user will need
to practice operating the Breeze C 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 user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your Breeze C scooter during daily activities, you will probably
