control lever.
GETTING ONTO AND OFF YOUR AFISCOOTER S
Getting onto and off your
AFISCOOTER S requires a good sense of balance.
Please observe the following safety tips when getting on and off your
AFISCOOTER S :

Remove the key from the key switch.

Ensure that your AFISCOOTER S is not in freewheel mode

(see Chapter 4 - General description of the AFISCOOTER S ).

Ensure that the seat is secured in place.

Pivot the armrests up
WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the seat to prevent the
AFISCOOTER S from tipping and causing injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the
AFISCOOTER S
armrests, and do not make
the armrests bear weight, such as during transfers. Such use may cause the
AFISCOOTER S to tip, resulting in a fall from the AFISCOOTER S and/or personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the
AFISCOOTER S to tip.
REACHING AND BENDING
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your AFISCOOTER S . Bending forward creates
the risk of accidentally contacting the throttle control lever. Bending to the side while
seated creates the risk of tipping. It is important to maintain a stable centre of gravity to
keep the
AFISCOOTER S from tipping. We recommend that you determine your personal
limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified attendant.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the
AFISCOOTER S deck or from either side of the AFISCOOTER S such as these may
change your centre of gravity and the weight distribution of the AFISCOOTER S, causing it
to tip.
