Driving Guidelines
Read this before driving the vehicle!
Whether or not this is your first mobility vehicle, read these guidelines as all
vehicles differ. Failure to do this may cause damage to yourself, a third party
or the vehicle.
Check the weather. Make sure you are wearing suitable clothing, regardless if your
journey is long or short. (Remember, when it’s hot wear a hat)
If you are taking medication check with your doctor or physician that your ability to control
the vehicle will not be impaired.
Do not drink alcohol and drive – It’s the law!
Only use the vehicle for the purpose it’s intended. Do not drive though deep water;
transport more than one person; tow other vehicles, drive on rough unpaved ground, soft
mud or carry excess weight.
Do not modify the vehicle as this will invalidate your warranty.
Make sure the battery charger is disconnected.
Make sure you have adjusted the seat as instructed in this manual – get comfortable – set
the speed control dial to a low setting.
Make sure the road ahead is clear.
Switch on the vehicle. Check the battery level indicator is in the green area
Get comfortable and always place your feet on the footplates.
Pull in right hand accelerator lever slowly. The vehicle will now move off. The more you
pull the lever in the faster the vehicle will go.
To brake, release the lever. If you become unsure or feel unsafe release the lever
immediately.
As you get accustomed to the power you can increase the speed.
Getting on and off the vehicle: Stop the vehicle on a flat area. Turn off the ignition and
remove the key before getting off.
