Safety warning and user guidance
Batteries
Always check that the batteries are
sufficiently charged before setting
off.
Always ensure that your batteries
are in good condition and that no
leakage has occurred.
Beware! battery fluids are
corrosive and care should be taken
at all times to avoid contact with it.
If it comes into contact with the skin
or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water. If it comes into
contact with the eye, immediately
flood the eye with running cold
water for at least 10 minutes and
seek medical attention.
Keep batteries upright at all times,
especially when transporting your
scooter.
Always follow the procedures
for battery charging set out in
Pages 25 - 29.
Always charge your batteries in a
room with good ventilation.
Do not charge your batteries in
outdoor conditions.
Do not expose any part of your
charger, battery or scooter to direct
heat (i.e. Gas fires or naked flame).
Tyres
Your scooter has pneumatic tyres
all round. It is good practice to
inspect the tyres for damage or
wear, regularly.
Emergency Braking
Turning off the power switch whilst
moving will switch off the power
causing immediate and full braking.
This method of stopping is not
recommended except in an
emergency.
Caution!
Routine use of emergency braking
will cause damage to your scooter.
Freewheel mechanism
Caution!
Transporting the scooter along a
slope in freewheel mode can be
dangerous. Take extra care if this is
necessary. Always re-enage the
freewheel device after use.
Never sit on your scooter whilst in
freewheel since the scooter will no
longer automatically stop.
