SAFETY INFORMATION
EAU10240
SCOOTERS ARE SINGLE TRACK VE-
HICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND OP-
ERATION ARE DEPENDENT UPON
THE USE OF PROPER RIDING TECH-
NIQUES AS WELL AS THE EXPER-
TISE OF THE OPERATOR. EVERY
OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW THE FOL-
LOWING REQUIREMENTS BEFORE
RIDING THIS SCOOTER.
HE OR SHE SHOULD:
8
OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUC-
TIONS FROM A COMPETENT
SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF
SCOOTER OPERATION.
OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND
MAINTENANCE REQUIRE-
MENTS IN THE OWNER’S
MANUAL.
8
OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING IN
SAFE AND PROPER RIDING
TECHNIQUES.
8
OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-
NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED
BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND/
OR WHEN MADE NECESSARY
BY MECHANICAL CONDITIONS.
Safe riding
8
Always make pre-operation checks.
Careful checks may help prevent
an accident.
8
This scooter is designed to carry
the operator only. No passengers.
8
The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize scooters in traffic is
the predominating cause of auto-
mobile/scooter accidents. Many
accidents have been caused by an
automobile driver who did not see
the scooter. Making yourself con-
spicuous appears to be very effec-
tive in reducing the chance of this
type of accident.
Therefore:
9
Wear a brightly colored jacket.
9
Use extra caution when ap-
proaching and passing through
intersections, since intersec-
tions are the most likely places
for scooter accidents to occur.
9
Ride where other motorists can
see you. Avoid riding in another
motorist’s blind spot.
8
Many accidents involve inexperi-
enced operators. In fact, many op-
erators who have been involved in
accidents do not even have a cur-
rent driver’s license.
9
Make sure that you are quali-
fied and that you only lend your
scooter to other qualified
operators.
9
Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
9
We recommend that you
practice riding your scooter
where there is no traffic until
you have become thoroughly
familiar with the scooter and all
of its controls.
8
Many accidents have been caused
by error of the scooter operator. A
typical error made by the operator
is veering wide on a turn due to
EXCESSIVE SPEED or
undercornering (insufficient lean
angle for the speed).
9
Always obey the speed limit
and never travel faster than
warranted by road and traffic
conditions.
