Victory XL-3

MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT

Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport

a person while seated in a Victory XL-3.

Although your Victory XL-3 may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide

proper restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly

secured in the motor vehicle seat with safety belts fastened securely.

GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR VICTORY XL-3

Getting onto and off of your Victory XL-3 requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following

safety tips when getting onto and off of your Victory XL-3:

Power down your Victory XL-3. See VI. Operation.

Ensure that your Victory XL-3 is not in freewheel mode. See IV. Your Victory XL-3.

Make certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch.

The seat armrests can be flipped up to make getting on and off the Victory XL-3 easier.

WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the Victory XL-3 seat to prevent the Victory

XL-3 from tipping and causing injury.

WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause the

Victory XL-3 to tip and cause personal injury.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the Victory XL-

3 to tip and cause personal injury.

POSITIONING BELTS

Your authorised Pride provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for

determining your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your Victory XL-3 safely.

WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your Victory XL-3, make sure it is

fastened securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the Victory XL-3.

WARNING! Do not sit on your Victory XL-3 while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or

property damage may result.

WARNING! Always be sure your Victory XL-3 and its batteries are properly secured when it is

being transported. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your Victory XL-3.
