Driving off obstacles
•
Use extreme caution when driving off obstacles
.
•
Drive straight up to the edge of the sidewalk until you reach the curb.
•
Carefully push the forward/reverse lever and allow the scooter to slowly
descend from the curb, without changing direction.
It is not permitted to go down stairways as it is very unsafe.
The scooter is equipped with anti-tipping wheels for extra stability
and safety. Occasionally, these wheels may touch an obstacle when
driving down one.
Avoid leaving one of the back wheels on the obstacle while the other
is still on the lower level. This will cause the scooter to become
unstable.
4.3.5
Overload Shutdown
•
In case of overload, caused by wrong or long-term use in hot conditions, the
circuit breaker will be activated, causing the scooter to stop. See ‘Automatic
circuit breaker’.
•
Abuse may also cause unnecessary malfunctions and damage to the
scooter.
4.3.6
Switching off
After each ride, the scooter should be switched off completely: This prevents
the batteries from unnecessarily discharging and having to be recharged too
soon.
Always remove the jack key from the jack key receptacle when not
driving the scooter, even if you plan to remain seated on the
scooter while it is parked. This will ensure that there will be no
accidental activation of the forward/reverse lever resulting in
unexpected movement of the scooter
.
