7 Safety Checks
The electronic circuits in the Egis have been designed to be extremely safe and reliable.
The on-board microcomputer carries out safety checks at up to 100 times per second.
To supplement this safety monitoring you should carry out the following periodic checks.
If the control system fails any of these checks, do not use the scooter and contact
your service agent.
7.1 Daily Checks

Throttle: Throttle: Throttle: With the scooter switched off, check that the throttle mechanism
is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the rest position
when you push and release it. If there is a problem do not
continue with the safety checks and contact your service agent.
7.2 Weekly Checks
Throttle: Throttle:
Throttle: Throttle: Throttle: Put the throttle to the full speed forward position and switch the
scooter on. The scooter should not move. To show you that you
have switched the scooter on with the throttle already pushed,
a TruCharge type status indicator will “ripple” up and down,
whereas a single bulb (or LED) type status indicator will flash
rapidly.
If the scooter does move, contact your service agent.
