3.6 SAFETY DURING USE
Here are some indications (the list is indicative and not
exhaustive) for the safe use of the vehicle:
• The vehicle can carry two people at the same time, driver
and passenger, who must remain seated in the vehicle while
holding on to the steering wheel or the handles; it is forbidden
to carry people in the rear of the vehicle;
• Only start the vehicle after ensuring that the passenger is
fully seated;
• Before exiting the vehicle, ensure that the electromagnetic
brake is applied and that the vehicle is locked;
• Pay attention to the area in the vicinity of the vehicle, in
particular the driver must be concentrated in order to be able
to react effectively in the event of an unforeseen situation;
• Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration, as this could lead
to loss of balance in those being transported;
• Evaluate in advance the state of the ground covered by the
vehicle in order to adapt the driving characteristics to the
ground conditions.
Improper use and/or poor maintenance of the vehicle can
cause serious damage or injury to the occupants or people in
the vicinity.
The previous indications cannot be considered as the only
ones necessary for safe driving; the different ways of using the
vehicle, even if not permitted but nevertheless hypothesised
by the Manufacturer during the risk assessment phase, require
particular attention, prudence and use according to the rules of
common sense.
Careless, fast and irresponsible driving could cause serious
damage to property and people.
Avoid steep paths and slopes as far as possible. Descents
should be approached with caution, modulating your braking
according to the ground conditions. Do not approach slopes
from the side, as this may cause the vehicle to tip over or fall!
Driving your vehicle on wet surfaces requires extra care and
caution, as wet surfaces reduce vehicle stability and increase
braking distance.
