The first time operating the HERO , you should be attended by a family
member or a friend.
As you begin using your HERO 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.
Transferring onto and off of your HERO requires a good sense of
balance. Always have an attendant or healthcare professional present
while learning to properly transfer yourself.
If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your HERO, make
sure it is fastened securely.
It may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your
HERO. You should not operate your HERO on public streets and
roadways.
Never use your HERO to negotiate steps or escalators.
If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door begins to close,
push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact
the HERO and the door will reopen.
Determine if the door opens toward or away from you. Drive your HERO
gently and slowly forward / backward to push / pull the door open.
Keep a watch for pedestrians, obstacle, pothole particularly when
reversing.
Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects .If you have to pick them up from
the floor by reaching down between your knees. Such use may cause
your HERO to tip and result in personal injury.
The batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to
lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Lifting beyond your capacity
can result in personal injury.
