14.1. Transporting the Vehicle
The Aztec is not designed as a vehicle to be easily
transported in the average family car. It is not easily
dismantled for transport and the main section of
the vehicle does not dismantle and is extremely
heavy.
The seat may be easily removed (see Section 11.2)
and the tiller folded, this will allow storage or
transport in a larger vehicle such as a PSV or large
estate car, by the use of ramps.
It is recommended that a trailer is considered.
WARNING!
The main section of the Aztec is extremely heavy
and should be moved or handled with great care.
14.2. Seat Adjustment for Driving
WARNING!
Adjust seat backrest angle to be comfortable when
driving the vehicle, do not adjust the angle back too
far as it is possible to fall back flat, this could cause
harm to both the user and the seat. (see Section
11.1)
Try not to lean the backrest back too far as this
could affect the overall stability of the vehicle when
climbing steep slopes.
The armrest height/angle maybe adjusted using the
rotating handwheels located under each armrest.
(see Section 11.1)
The seat position may be adjusted forward and
backwards by use of the handle located under the
front right side of the seat (see Section 11.1)
WARNING!
Never attempt to adjust any of the seat position
functions while the vehicle is in motion, to do so
could lead to an accident causing harm to both the
user and the vehicle. Always bring the vehicle to a
complete halt before making any adjustment to the
seat positions.
14.3. Tiller Adjustment
The upper section of the tiller may be adjusted by
using the handle located on the left hand side of the
handlebars. (see Section 11.13). Squeeze the lever
and move the handlebars to the correct angle,
when you release the adjustment lever the tiller will
remain in that position.
With the tiller in the fully down position the steer-
ing will be locked in the forward position for ease of
transport
14.4. Entering and Exiting the Scooter
Before mounting your scooter ensure that the key
is in the off position or removed.
The scooter is very stable but try to always place
your feet in the centre of the footplate when step-
ping on to the vehicle.
Position yourself comfortably on the seat, ensuring
both armrests are lowered, make any adjustments
required prior to turning on the key.
Ensure your feet all placed comfortably and firmly
on the footboard and do not protrude beyond the
edges of the scooter.
Ensure that you can reach and operate all controls
comfortably, make any tiller adjustments prior to
turning on the key.
14.5. Using The Lap belt (Option)
The utmost care and consideration for pedestrians
and other road users must be shown.
If a lap belt is fitted (see Section 11.1.2) to the seat
on your scooter, it is very important that it is fitted
in the correct position and not twisted or knotted.
The lap belt is an inertia reel type that automatically
adjusts the tension.
To lock the belt in place:
Pull the belt across your lap before inserting the
metal end into the receiver located on the left side
of seat. Press firmly into place.
To release the belt:
Press the red button on the receiver down until it
clicks, this will release the belt and it should retract
automatically.
14.6. Driving On A Slope
Your scooter has been designed and fully tested in
accordance with current Regulations to allow its
safe use on gradients up to 20% (11
o
), 1 in 5.
In order to improve stability it is recommended that
you lean forward and ensure the seat back is in the
upright position when climbing steep slopes.
Never load the back of the scooter with heavy any
objects above the stated weight allowance for any
approved optional carrying container that may be
fitted (see Section 15).
WARNING!
Though the Aztec is capable of climbing much
steeper, never exceed the maximum slope of 11
o
.
If any doubt about a slope, do not attempt to drive
up or down this slope but look for an alternative
route.
