Scooterpac Ignite | User Manual 8
3 Safety
The Ignite should only be operated by a single person, who is not suffering from any condition which impairs vision,
hearing, eyesight or the ability to react to sudden changes in surroundings. If you suffer from any of the above, it is
recommended that you seek advice from your doctor before operating the Ignite.
• Only drive over obstacles and up kerbs at the lowest point and at right angles.
• Sudden turns or sudden changes in speed are not recommended.
• Avoid steep surfaces if there is a risk of skidding due to icy or wet surfaces.
• Avoid going over loose surfaces such as gravel.
• Always tackle gradients straight i.e. do not drive in zigzags.
• Do not turn the Ignite around on inclined surfaces.
• Do not drive the Ignite down steps.
• Always drive forwards down gradients, kerbs and other obstacles.
3.1 Anti-Tip Wheels
The Ignite is fitted with rear anti-tip wheels. These are an emergency failsafe that should never be relied upon in normal
operation. These are designed to stop the Ignite tipping backwards on a steep incline. Should you see any damage to the
wheels, you should cease using the car and take it to a certified mechanic who can ensure that the chassis has not been
damaged.
