Product Stability
Scooters and powered wheelchairs are designed to allow the user flexibility of
movement in restricted areas. Driving at maximum speed and attempting
sharp turns can create a situation where the product becomes unstable.
Therefore it is essential that the user pay attention the guidance set out in this
manual.
For maximum stability the speed setting should be set up to 50% of the
maximum available (halfway between the tortoise and the hare or just
entering the red sector on the speed indicator depending on the model.
The main factors affecting stability are:
•
Maximum speed setting
•
Seat height
•
User movement
•
User’s manoeuvres
•
Gradients or slopes
Please keep your speed to a level where you can safely stop without having
to make any erratic turns.
Do not load bags etc. on the back of the seat as this will affect the centre of
gravity and could increase instability.
Do not lean outside of the ‘footprint’ of the product, especially whilst moving.
Avoid making turns on gradients or slopes.
Emergency Procedures
Should your scooter behave erratically or become unresponsive whilst driving,
release the wig-wag lever so it may return to it’s neutral position and switch off
the power at the key / switch. These procedures will stop the scooter and
activate the braking system, preventing any further uncontrolled manoeuvres.
Note: Switching the power off at the key / switch can cause the scooter to stop
abruptly and should only be used to stop the scooter during an emergency.
Driving in Pedestrian Areas
When using the scooter in pedestrian areas always lower your maximum
speed to that of the pedestrians around you. Remember the stopping distance
of your scooter and always allow enough space to stop safely to avoid
collisions with pedestrians or other objects.
