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 as long as the speed is not too high.
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. Press the left thumb 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 and foot rest is not used for support.
EXTRA GUIDELINES IN THE CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER
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 where ever 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 finger levers
are released the scooter will slowly stop.
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, loose 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.
