General Use
Take heed of the information given in this manual regarding safety and the
maintenance of your scooter. If adhered to, your scooter should give you years
of reliable mobility.
The
Torino
is intended for general year round use. However, DO NOT use the
scooter in electrical storms, high winds (if fitted with a canopy) or downpours.
Care must also be taken during cold weather due to icy surfaces.
Storage and General Care
We recommend that the scooter is always stored in a dry environment such as a
garage or shed to protect the chassis and other components from corrosion or
water damage. Do not leave the scooter outside during rainstorms. If the
scooter is wet, wipe with a dry cloth to ensure there is no ingress of water into
the internal components of the scooter
(If the scooter needs to be cleaned, use a
mild detergent and warm water with a damp sponge or cloth. DO NOT throw water
over the scooter)
.
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.
Transportation
You may transport your scooter in many ways. Wherever possible, secure the
scooter. We do not recommend that scooters be transported on an open
bottomed trailer.
