EXTRA GUIDELINES IN THE CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER (FIG 8)
Ramps
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 wherever possible avoid making turns. When going down a ramp or
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.
Safe Climbing Angle
Always follow the guidelines of the safe climbing angle as sown in figure 9.
Caution – Do not turn off the control key while the unit is in motion.
Grass and Gravel
Please follow the guidelines given previously and your scooter will perform admirably over
many surfaces. Avoid long grass, loos gravel and sand.
NOTE: You should not operate your scooter in wet weather or on wet surfaces. This may
cause the motor to short out or cause other irreversible damage.
NOTE: To preserve battery charge, your scooter may go into sleep mode after being idle for
a few minutes. To remove from sleep mode, turn the key off and back on again.
