Safety Guidelines
Use the following guidelines for the safe operation and use of your Amigo. Should you have any questions about the
safe operation of your vehicle, please contact AMI. If you are in doubt about your ability to operate your Amigo, consult your
personal physician.
• Read the operating manual before using your Amigo.
• Always turn your Amigo OFF before getting on or off your vehicle.
• Always remain seated while the vehicle is in operation.
• Keep legs on the platform while driving.
• Allow the Amigo to come to a complete stop before attempting to reverse.
• Always drive at a slow, sensible speed while around pedestrians.
• Drive slowly while turning.
• Always drive straight up and down inclines.
• Avoid sudden starts while the tiller is turned sharply.
• Always approach obstacles at a low speed.
• Be aware of mechanical pinch points, especially when folding, assembling and disassembling your Amigo.
• Remove battery case before folding tiller down.
• Always be careful when maneuvering on inclines or ramps. Not all ramps are constructed according to federal standards.
The federal standard for wheelchair ramps is 1 inch (2.5 cm) rise per 12 inches (30 cm) = 5 degrees or 8% grade.

• Do not park on inclines or declines.

• Do not allow anyone to ride with you.
• Do not operate your Amigo near stairs, steps, curbs or terraces where you might accidentally drop a wheel off the edge.
• Do not operate your Amigo on streets or other areas with vehicular traffic.
• Do not use the tiller to assist in transferring.
• Do not lift rear section of platform by holding the rear wheel.
• Do not expose your Amigo to spray-on cleaning solutions and excessive moisture such as spraying it with a garden hose,
shower or leaving it uncovered in heavy rain.
