Other Operating Information
:
•
Release the thumb levers and allow the scooter to stop completely before changing
from forward to reverse, or reverse to forward.
•
When turning a corner, swing the front wheels wide, because the back wheels will
turn more tightly.
•
Use the scooter only where it would be safe to walk.
•
Use low speeds for reverse, downhill, ramps, curbs, or uneven surfaces.
As a safety feature, an automatic speed reducer engages if the scooter
is pushed quickly when the Free-Wheeling Lever is disengaged. This
standard feature is specifically created for down slopes.
When driving, proceed straight forward slowly pass through the gap.
Hill Climbing:
You may need to use a higher speed going up on slopes. For a higher
speed, set the speed control knob in the proximity of the rabbit.
Down Slopes:
To proceed down steep slopes slowly, set the speed control in the
proximity of the turtle. This enables driver control, as the closer the
speed control is set toward the turtle, the slower the scooter will travel.
However, this scooter will not self accelerate down hills due to the
automatic braking taking effect should you attempt to drive too fast.
Curb Climbing:
Approach slowly at right angles to the curb. A slight angle is permissible
with a 4-wheel scooter. Do not attempt curb climbing greater than a
50mm curb. If the Self-Diagnostic Warning Lights start to blink, identify
the problem from the chart on page 18 and take action.
Vertical limit approach approximately : 5cm
Acceptable gap width approximately : 22cm
If the scooter breaks down and must be moved, get off the scooter, pull the free-wheeling
lever, move the scooter slowly to a safe location, and push the free-wheeling lever
back downward to engage.
