Caution:
Do not switch off the power to stop the scooter as this will cause the transmission to lock
and the scooter will come to a sharp stop, which could possibly cause injury. This
procedure should only be used in an emergency.
Steering
Steering the scooter is light and easy. Ensure when starting off you give a wide clearance when
turning so that the rear wheels clear any obstacle that you are passing. When steering through limited
spaces such as a doorway or when turning around, turn the tiller handles where you want to go and
apply power gently. The scooter will turn very tightly, but will still move with complete stability.
Caution:
Never turn sharply at high speeds as it can make the scooter unstable. The maximum
speed should be set at 50%.
Caution:
Do not reverse onto a main thoroughfare.
Reversing
Before reversing ensure that the area behind is free from any hazards or obstructions. Adjust your
speed setting to a low setting before you reverse. Pull the left finger lever, and steer wide of all corners
and obstacles.
Dismounting
Before dismounting ensure that the key is turned to the off position.
Caution:
Please ensure that care is exercised when entering or leaving the scooter and that the tiller
is not used for support.
Ramps / Slopes
The stability of your scooter is governed by several factors such as the seating position,
the angle of the slope and your height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so directly and
not at an angle and where ever possible avoid making turns. When going down a ramp or a slope
keep the speed settings to slow. This will ensure there is a safe controlled descent. When the thumb
levers are released the scooter will slowly stop.
