D
RIVING PRACTICE AND SAFE DRIVING
Before using the vehicle on the road, or in an external area, make sure you have mastered it sufficiently:
•
It is advisable to wear comfortable clothes and shoes in order to move more freely and flexibly.
•
It is not advisable to use the vehicle in open spaces, if you have not learnt all of the functions completely
(movements forwards/backwards, to the right /left, start-up /stop).
•
Make sure that the surface is suitable for the use of the vehicle.
•
The vehicle can be used on various types of surfaces however, if it is used on irregular terrain or by users
without much experience, we recommend you use it at low speeds.
•
DOC 2 is a means of transport that was designed to travel mainly on smooth surfaces; this does not mean that
it cannot be used on other types of terrain. When using on surfaces that are not perfectly even, we
recommend maintaining a moderate speed.
•
For inexperienced users, we recommend avoiding crowded places, where there are obstacles or factors that
could represent a danger for the user or other people.
•
Children, elderly people and pregnant women should not use DOC 2.
•
Do not drive when drunk or under the influence of pharmaceutical products or drugs.
•
Relax your legs when driving, bend your knees slightly. This will help you to keep the right balance on irregular
terrain.
•
Do not transport objects when driving.
•
Make sure that your feet are always on the footboards; loss of contact with a footboard causes the immediate
imbalance of DOC 2.
•
DOC 2 was conceived and designed to be used by a single person. It is never to be used by more than one
person at once.
•
Do not start or stop suddenly.
•
The weight of the driver must not exceed the maximum load specified in the instructions; the vehicle could
be damaged or users could fall.
•
The weight must not be less than the minimum weight specified in the instructions as DOC 2 would not
correctly notice the presence of a person on the sensors; be extremely careful of this especially when
travelling downhill, where high speeds can be reached, without the correct control of the vehicle.
•
Keep a speed that is appropriate for stopping DOC 2 in a suitable manner.
•
If you are travelling close to another DOC 2, or a similar vehicle, you need to keep a safe distance between
the 2 vehicles to avoid collisions.
•
When you pass through doors, remember that your height will be about 10 cm higher.
•
During bends, be careful of the center of gravity of your body. A sudden variation could cause a fall.
•
Do not drive under the rain.
•
Do not drive backwards for long distances or at high speeds.
•
DOC 2 is not a medical mobility device, and is not non-equivalent to motorized wheelchairs for disabled
people or pedal assisted bicycles.
•
Avoid driving in confined space or areas with obstacles.

We will now look at the means of charging and maintaining the battery, as well as potential problems there might be.
For the safety of the consumer and to extend the duration and improve performance of the battery, please follow the
following instructions:
•
When the battery indicator is red, it means the charge is not sufficient. We recommend stopping DOC 2.
•
When the power is low, there is not enough energy to drive normally. DOC 2 will automatically alert with a
sound alarm.
•
Do not use the battery in the following cases:
1.
Strong smell and/or excessive heat.
2.
If it is losing liquid.
•
The dismantling and maintenance of the battery must be carried out solely by an authorized professional.
