USER’S MANUAL
9. SAFETY
BRAKING INFORMATION
Your scooter is equipped with two powerful brake systems:
• Electric brake system: This system can gradually slow and stop your scooter, if you release the throttle control lever
to let it return the top/stop position during driving.
• Motor brake system: After the electric brake system slows your scooter almost to a stop,
a damper in the motor brake system can automatically engage to ensure your scooter is at a complete standstill.
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions (dry, level surfaces made of concrete,
blacktop or asphalt). However, your scooter can also be driven on firm soil. You should avoid driving on the following surfaces:
• A driving surface that you feel unsure about or soft pavement.
• Tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
• Loosely packed gravel and sand beach.
FREEWHEEL MODE
Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that allows the scooter to be manually pushed.
For more information, see 6 OPERATION.
The maximum safe incline angle is S degrees for your scooter.
If a slope is less than this angle, it is safe for your scooter to climb or descend.
WARNING!
Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 8 degrees may make your scooter unstable
and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
WARNING!
When your scooter is moving, the free-wheel lever should be in a downward position,
i.e. in powered mode. If not, the brake system will fail causing a potential hazard.
WARNING!
• Do not use your scooter in freewheel mode without another person present.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury.
• Do not attempt to place your scooter in freewheel mode while seated on it.
Personal injury may result. Please ask another person for assistance if necessary.
• Do not place your scooter in freewheel mode while on an incline, as the scooter
could become uncontrollable and result in personal injury.
STATIONARY OBSTACLE (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)
STREETS AND ROADWAYS
WARNING!
• Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than 25 mm
without another person present.
• Do not attempt to let your scooter roll backward down a step, curb or other obstacle.
This may cause your scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING!
Do not operate your scooter on public thoroughfares and roadways.
Observe all local pedestrian traffic rules.
Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme caution.
