Before use  

2.1  Intended use 

In  this paragraph  a brief  description of the intended  use  of your scooter is given. Additionally, 
relevant warnings are added to the instructions in the other paragraphs. In this way we would like 
to make you aware of the possible misuse that may appear. 

  This scooter is classified as a class B product and is suitable for outdoor use. 

  This scooter is designed and produced solely to transport one (1) person with a maximum 

weight of 140kg.  It is not designed to transport goods or objects, or for any other use than 
the transport previously described.  

  You should NOT use this scooter if you suffer from physical or mental impairments that may 

put  you,  or  other  people,  in  danger  when  driving  the  scooter,  such  as;  visual  impairment, 
mental disorder,  hemiplegics  or  paraplegics.  For  this  reason,  consult  your  doctor  first  and 
make sure that your specialist dealer is informed about his advice.  

  If applicable, only use accessories and spare parts approved by Vermeiren.  

  Please read all technical details and limits of your scooter in chapter 6. 

  The warranty on this product is based on normal use and maintenance as described in this 

manual. Damage to your product caused by improper use or lack of maintenance will cause 
the warranty to lapse. 

2.2  General safety instructions 

  Risk of injuries and/or damage 

Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Otherwise you may get injured or your 
scooter may get damaged. 
 
Keep the following general warnings in mind during use: 

  Do  not  use  your  scooter  if  you  are  under  the  influence  of  alcohol,  medicines  or  other 

substances that may influence your driving abilities.  

  Be  aware  that  some  parts  of  your  scooter  may  get  very  hot  or  cold  due  to  ambient 

temperature, solar radiation, heating devices or due to the motor drive during the ride.  Be 
careful when touching. Wear protective clothing if the weather is cold. After a ride, wait until 
the scooter/motor has cooled down.  

  Before  switching  the  scooter  on,  be  aware  of  the  environment/situation  in  which  you  are 

located. Adjust your speed to this before driving off.  We advise you to use the slowest speed 
setting to drive indoors. For outdoor driving you can adjust the speed to a suitable speed at 
which you feel comfortable and safe.  

  ALWAYS keep in mind that your scooter may stop suddenly due to a discharged battery or a 

protection that prevents your scooter from further damage. Also check the causes mentioned 
in chapter 6. 

  Your  scooter  has  been  tested  for  electromagnetic  compatibility  and  complies  with  the  

standard.  Nevertheless,  sources  of  electromagnetic  fields,  such  as  the  fields  of  mobile 
phones,  power  generators  or  high-power  energy  sources,  may  influence  the  driving 
performance of your scooter. On the other hand, the electronics of your scooter may affect 
other electronic appliances as well, such as alarm systems of shops and automatic doors. 
We therefore advise you to check your scooter regularly for damage and wear, since these 
may enlarge the interference (see also chapter 4). 

  Only drive on flat surfaces where all four wheels touch the ground and where there is sufficient 

contact to operate the scooter safely. 

  Make sure that your hands, clothes, belts, buckles or jewellery don’t get caught by wheels or 

other moving parts during use. 

CAUTION
