■
Lock the seat into position before you operate your scooter.
■
Do not operate your scooter with the seat in the reclined position (if so equipped).

Make certain that the tyres are inflated to 30 pounds per square inch (psi). Overinflating a tyre can cause it to
explode, resulting in personal injury or damage to your scooter.

Do not operate your scooter if you are taking medication which may impair your ability to operate your scooter
in a safe manner.

Do not drive your scooter across the side of an incline or diagonally up or down an incline; avoid stopping whilst
driving on inclines.

porches, stairs, etc.)
■
Drive slowly when turning.
■
Secure the batteries before loading your scooter into another vehicle for transport.
■
Disconnect the batteries if you are not going to operate your scooter for more than 48 hours.
■
Do not operate or store your scooter where it may be exposed to inclement weather conditions such as rain,
snow, mist, and below-freezing temperatures. Attempting to operate your Scooter in such conditions may
damage the electronics and potentially result in loss of control.
■
Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery. This damages the
battery and may cause personal injury. Attempting to charge a battery in freezing conditions does not prevent a
battery from freezing.

Do not expose the electronics to any type of moisture at any time. Such exposure may damage the electronics.
Never attempt to ride a scooter that has been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
■
Never sit on your scooter when it is being used with any type of lift/elevation product. Your scooter was not
designed with such use in mind, and any damage or injury incurred from such use is not the responsibility of the
manufacturer.
