Steering
Steering the scooter is light and easy. Ensure you give obstacles a wide clearance to avoid the rear wheels
catching. When steering through limited spaces, turn the tiller in the direction that you wish to go and apply
power gently. The scooter can turn very tightly with complete stability at slow speeds.
Caution:
NEVER turn sharply at high speeds as it can make the scooter unstable. The maximum speed should be set at 50%.
Reversing
Before reversing ensure the area behind the scooter is free from any obstacles or hazards. Adjust the speed
setting to low before you reverse. Steer wide of all corners and obstacles.
Caution:
Do not reverse onto a main thoroughfare
Ramps / Slopes
The stability of your scooter depends on several factors such as seat height, angle of gradient and the user’s
height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so directly and not at a angle and avoid making turns
where possible
Surfaces
Your scooter will perform well over many surfaces. However, avoid long grass, loose gravel, sand, mud and
ice.
Transferring
Lift up the armrest from the side you wish to leave or sit on the scooter. Use an aid for balance if required. DO
NOT use the tiller or armrests to support your full weight during transfers.
Storage
Your scooter should be stored in a dry environment, preferably a garage or shed. Tarpaulins and covers may
create condensation during certain weather conditions.
If your scooter is to be stored for prolonged periods, fully charge the batteries and disconnect the battery plugs.
Very cold weather can severely deplete battery condition (up to 40%). If left for any period during cold weather,
it is very important that the scooter be fully charged before use
