13.1. General Safety and Warnings
WARNING!
Safety is very important with any vehicle, especially
a motor driven one. The following warnings are not
conclusive and should be read in conjunction with
this complete manual, which explains the operation,
function, care and adjustments for your mobility
vehicle.
If you are in any doubt about your ability to drive
your mobility vehicle due to any medical treatments
or conditions, always consult your doctor before
proceeding.
Always ensure your vehicle is switched off and the
key removed from the ignition before mounting,
dismounting or adjusting either the seat or steering
column.
Before driving the vehicle always ensure you are
seated comfortably and securely, with the armrests
down and that both the seat and steering column
are securely locked in their correct positions.
Ensure you have read this manual and familiarised
yourself fully with all the controls before using your
vehicle for the first time.
Before switching your vehicle on, ensure you can
easily reach all controls from a comfortable seated
position and ensure that your rear view mirrors are
adjusted properly.
Before driving your vehicle ensure that the lights
are clean and working properly, ensure your tyres
are correctly inflated and undamaged, and that your
batteries are charged.
Always reduce speed when turning a corner, this is
especially true when travelling downhill or over any
uneven terrain. Failure to follow this instruction
could mean the vehicle will overturn, causing injury
to the user and damage to the scooter.
Never try to mount or dismount a kerb at an angle,
always approach straight on and at a steady speed.
Never charge an obstacle at high speed, the Aztec
will climb an obstacle slowly, you do not need
speed. Wherever possible look for and use drop
kerbs, as these are safer and more comfortable.
Wherever possible always drive straight up or down
slopes not across them.
Failure to observe these general safety tips could
lead to your vehicle starting unexpectedly, being
uncontrollable or tipping over.
The Aztec is principally designed for outdoor use, it
is therefore larger than many other scooters. Due to
the size, if using the Aztec in the confines of a build-
ing, always ensure that the building has suitable
emergency escape routes that are capable of allow-
ing free access/ingress for you and your scooter.
This Aztec is a fully road legal vehicle countries, but
ensure all local traffic regulations and health re-
quirements, (such as eye sight), are understood and
adhered to. If in any doubt please refer to the
Sections 3 and 4 of this manual as well as your local
regulatory authorities.
The Maximum Load figure always refers to a single
person as operator.
The Aztec is authorised for use by one person.
Do not operate your vehicle whilst under any form
of detrimental influence caused by alcohol, drugs or
severe/acute illness .
Please observe all relevant rules and regulations
pertaining to pedestrians and road users, at all
times.
Always make sure that you can be seen clearly by
other road users, especially if you intend using your
scooter in poor lighting conditions. Wearing bright
clothing or a reflective jacket/coat is recommended
when operating your scooter on the road.
The Aztec has been built to match the needs of the
majority of users but if a personal risk assessment
highlights specific needs then the scooter may need
to be adjusted and/or reprogrammed.
Never let children or others use your scooter.
Never attempt to hoist the Aztec by the seat arm
rests or steering column. The chassis has lifting
points either side of the seat mounting.
Never attempt to ascend or descend escalators or
stairways with the scooter.
13.2. Batteries
Before each journey always check that the batteries
are sufficiently charged.
Though your vehicles batteries are sealed try to
keep batteries upright on a flat surface at all times,
especially if being transported.
When being transported ensure your batteries are
located securely in place to prevent the possibility
of damage, short circuit or injury.
Regularly check that your batteries have not been
damaged, are in good condition with clean correctly
tightened and undamaged terminals, and that no
leakage has occurred.
Batteries naturally discharge over a period of time;
always recharge your batteries at least once a
month to avoid damaging them. If batteries are left
to go completely flat they will be damaged beyond
recovery.
