SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■
Lock your seat into place and remove the key before you get on or off your scooter.
■
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.
■
Keep both hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard at all times while operating your scooter.
This driving position gives you the most control over your vehicle.
■
Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces or unprotected ledges or drop-offs
(kerbs, 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.
