Warning: Castoring.
Be aware that, if you set off
when the front wheels are not straight, the initial
movement could be partially sideways.
Warning: Escalators.
Never drive the scooter onto
an escalator as this could cause the scooter to
topple and result in severe injury.
Warning: Power.
Unless there is an emergency,
do not switch the power off when moving. The
scooter may stop very suddenly. Release the
forward / reverse control and the scooter will come
to a controlled stop.
Warning: Roads.
In the United Kingdom the
Rascal Vippi is not designed or approved for use on
public roads, apart from crossing roads at
designated places.
Warning: Slopes.
On steep slopes the scooter
could topple over. Always try to avoid crossing a
slope. If you have to cross a slope, take great
care
to avoid tipping. Never make sharp turns on slopes.
Never drive on slippery or icy slopes.
- If you are not comfortable with the hill gradient,
consider an alternative route. See
Driving the
Scooter – Hazards
for more advice.
Warning: Driving in Poor Visibility.
Scooters are
not easily seen. Consider wearing a high visibility
jacket to warn others of the presence.
Warning: Carrying Items.
Do not carry or attach
anything to the handlebars or controls as this could
affect the driving safety.
Warning: Kerbs.
Always try to avoid driving up or
down kerbs as this may cause the scooter to topple.
Use access ramps wherever possible. Never
attempt to climb or descend kerbs greater than that
noted in the
Technical
Specification
section.
When in a situation to climb or descend a low kerb,
then always tackle it straight on. See
Driving the
Scooter – Hazards
for more advice.
Warning: Hot Surfaces.
If the scooter is left out in
the sun, surfaces could become extremely hot.
Always try to park the scooter in the shade.
Warning: Seats in Motor Vehicles.
This scooter is
not suitable
for use as a seat for an occupant when
in a motor vehicle.
Warning: Speed.
Turning at maximum speed
might cause the scooter to topple over. Always slow
down for turns. Always slow down when amongst
pedestrians and ensure you do not run into them.
Warning: Stopping.
If the scooter stops suddenly
when turning, it might topple. Try not to brake when
turning. Always take particular care when turning.
The stopping distances on slopes can be
significantly greater than on level ground.
Warning: Reversing.
Always take particular care
when reversing the scooter as injury to other people
may occur if safe distances are not maintained.
Warning: Leaning Over.
Do not lean sideways, as
this could cause the scooter to topple.
