Note:
Always wear bright or illuminating clothing when driving your scooter. Be
aware that it may be difficult for pedestrians and other motorized vehicles to see
you when you are seated on your scooter. Only drive your scooter on the road when
public pavements or sidewalks are not available (i.e. in the countryside) or when
crossing the roadway from one pavement to another.
INSURANCE
Although it is not a legal requirement for accident insurance coverage (third party),
it is a sensible precaution. Your Luggie Authorized Dealer will be able to give you
details of specialist insurance companies or your own insurance company will be
able to advise you.
WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
Warning :
Do not operate your scooter in icy or slippery conditions or on salted
surfaces i.e. roads and pavements. Such use may result in accident, personal injury
or adversely affect the performance and safety of your scooter.
Warning :
It is recommended that you do not expose your scooter to any type
moisture at any time i.e. rain, snow or power washer. Such exposure may damage
your scooter. Never drive through deep water or expose your scooter to sea water.
Do not operate your scooter if it has been exposed to heavy moisture until it has
been thoroughly dried out.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION
Currently there are no standards approved for "tie down" systems in a moving vehicle
of any type to transport a person while seated in a scooter.
Warning :
Do not sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal
injury may result. Always make certain that your Luggie is properly secured when
being transported. Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or damage to
your Scooter.
ACCESSING YOUR SCOOTER
Getting on and off your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe
the following tips when getting on or off your scooter:
Make certain your Luggie scooter is powered off.
Ensure your Luggie is not in the freewheel mode (page 12), Freewheeling Your
Luggie).
Make certain the seat and handlebars are locked firmly into position.
The armrests can be lifted up to allow easier access. If your armrests are installed,
make certain you do not attempt to drive with the armrests raised.
Warning :
Position yourself as far back into the scooter seat as possible to
prevent tipping and injury.
Warning :
Avoid using the armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may
cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury and/or damage.
Warning :
Avoid putting all of your weight onto the floorboard, such use may
cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
