Product Stability
Mobility Sooters are designed to allow the user flexibility of movement in restricted areas. Driving at maximum
speed and attempting sharp turns can create a situation where the product becomes unstable. Therefore, it is
essential that the user pay attention to the guidance set out in this manual.
The main factors affecting stability are:
•
Maximum speed setting
•
Seat height
•
User movement
•
User's maneuvers
•
Gradients or slopes
Warning:
Please keep your speed to a level where you can safely stop without having
to make any erratic turns.
Do not load bags etc. on the back of the seat as this will affect the center of
gravity and could cause instability.
Do not lean outside of the 'footprint' of the product, especially while
moving. Avoid making turns on gradients or slopes.
Driving in Pedestrian Areas
As mentioned previously, when using the scooter in pedestrian areas always lower your maximum speed to that of
the pedestrians around you. Remember the stopping distance of your scooter and always allow enough space to
stop safely to avoid collisions with pedestrians or other objects.
