User instructions
It is very important that you teach yourself the correct user instructions. Therefore, you need to know all the
components of the scooter as described in this user manual. Always check with an expert about developing safe
methods regarding your physical abilities to use your scooter .
4.1 Balance
Daily actions like getting in and out of the scooter, reaching and bending, will affect the balance of the scooter. This
has to do with weight distribution and change in centre of gravity. To prevent the scooter from tipping over or other
dangerous situations you should follow the directions described below.
4.1.1
Getting in and out of the scooter
Getting in and out of the scooter is a common action. The level of difficulty when getting in and out of the scooter
depends on your physical abilities. In this manual we describe the steps you should follow to be able to get in
and out of the scooter unattended. When you can no longer do this independently, we advise you to discuss your
possibilities with occupational therapist to find out the best way to get in and out of your scooter.
Getting in the scooter
Before getting in the scooter, make sure it is on a flat surface. The scooter should always be in drive before
getting in the scooter. Always check if the scooter is turned off. You can do this by checking the LED lights on the
dashboard, these should be off. If the scooter is off, you eliminate the chance of accidentally touching the levers,
possibly causing injury to yourself or others. The tiller should always be as straight as possible. There is two ways
of getting in the scooter. You can turn the chair and get in, or raise the armrests and then get in. When you want
to get in by turning the chair, you can rotate the chair 90 degrees with the lever on the right side of the chair. This
way you can get in easily and turn the chair back into driving position. Would you rather get in without turning the
chair, then you can raise the armrest on one side and get in. Before driving, always put the armrests back down. Put
your foot in the middle of the footrest when getting in the scooter. If there is a seatbelt present, attach this before
driving. For assuming the correct driving posture you can adjust the tiller to the desired angle. Put the key into the
ignition and turn one quarter to the right. The LEDs on the dashboard will now light up and you will be ready to go.
Getting out of the scooter
When getting out you should follow the same steps for getting in in reverse order. Make sure the scooter is always
off and the key is removed from the ignition when getting out of the scooter. Put the tiller back into upright position.
You can now turn the chair or raise the armrest and get out. Always try to get out as close to your destination as
possible.
