Driving in the dark is only permissible if the scooter is equipped with functioning lighting
at the front and rear, or as per applicable national or local traffic regulations.
2.5 Transfer into or out of the scooter
Make sure the power is turned off before getting into or out of the scooter. When
transferring into or out of the scooter, every precaution must be taken to reduce the
distance between the scooter and the place to which the user is transferring. Too great
a distance may cause the user to overexert him or herself, lose balance or fall. BLIMO
recommends that users transfer in the presence of or with the assistance of an
attendant.
2.6 Transporting the Scooter
The scooter may only be transported in vehicles approved for this purpose. The vehicle
must be suitably designed, insured and equipped to transport a person in a scooter. No
matter how securely it is fastened in the vehicle, a scooter is not designed to be a car
seat and cannot offer the same degree of safety as offered by standard car seats.
Before transportation, check that the scooter is properly secured and that wheels are
locked.
2.7 Environmental Conditions
Protect the scooter from exposure to any type of moisture, including rain, snow, mud or
spray. Exposure to moisture may cause the scooter to short-circuit, catch fire and
cause personal injury or property damage. If it has been exposed to moisture, do not
operate your scooter until it has dried completely.
If any of the shrouds or the panel has cracks or tears, they must be replaced
immediately. Failure to do so may allow moisture to enter the electronics and cause
personal injury or property damage, including fire.
Be extremely careful when operating your scooter during icy or slippery conditions.
Such conditions can lower the performance and safety of your scooter which could
lead to an accident, personal injury and property damage, including damage to the
scooter.
Exercise extreme caution when using oxygen in close proximity to electrical circuits
and other combustible materials. Contact your oxygen supplier for instruction in the
use of oxygen.
