WARNING!

exceed the specifications of this unit, modify in
anyway, or use for a purpose other than a powered
scooter.
2.
DO NOT
operate this unit if your health or medications

or in any way impact your thought process,
coordination, or ability to safely operate the unit. Check
with your physician if you experience any of these
symptoms.
3.

5.
DO NOT
ride over curbs or other obstruction higher
than 3 inches.
6.
DO NOT
stop when going up an incline. If you must do

on an incline.
9.

moving. This will cause the brake to activate, stopping
the vehicle abruptly.
11.
DO NOT
attempt to get off the vehicle while it is
moving.
12.
ALWAYS
remember vehicle capacity is limited to one
person only. This unit is not approved for towing, or for
weights in excess of the published maximum.
13.
ALWAYS
drive straight up and down inclines.
14.
REDUCE SPEED
when traveling on (up or down)
inclines. Select the slowest speed setting that will still
allow the vehicle to climb the incline.
15.
NEVER
try to turn around on an incline!
16. If vehicle stops on an incline,
DO NOT
attempt to
continue.
17.

when traveling up an incline. Do not climb inclines
greater than 25% (1' rise over 4' distance).

when braking on an incline or wet or
slippery surfaces as the unit will take longer to come to
