LOADING - Take care when lifting any of the components. Fit the mainframe into the boot first. It will fit better with the wheels
off and is less liable to move about. It is a good idea to use some packing materials or blankets between the components. This
will stop parts being scratched and in addition make them less likely to move. Next fit the tiller, then pack the other components
around (fig 15). Ideal lifting points are shown in fig 16.

Care! Warning
– The various components are potentially dangerous should they become dislodged in any emergency braking.
Ensure they are all stowed securely and strapped to prevent movement or flying objects.
RE-ASSEMBLY – This is the reverse of the above and covered under Chapter 3.
6. STORING BUDDY AT HOME
Buddy has another unique feature which is to fold enabling it to be stored in a vertical or horizontal
position thus taking up a minimum of room in hallways, cupboards or even caravans.
Fold the seat and handlebars flat (see fig 17a & b) and removethe batteries. The scooter can now
be left in this position taking a minimum of height or stood vertical on its rear rubber bumpers
tucked out of the way against a wall.
Care! Warning
– Make sure Buddy is
placed well out of the way when
standing vertical. In this position it
would be easy to be knocked over
causing damage to the scooter,
furniture or persons.

7. BATTERIES
Your Buddy has a lot of power for a small scooter. Keeping it working to its maximum potential means that its two batteries
must be maintained properly and with full power. Correct charging will help to give them a longer life and ensure that Buddy is
always ready to go when you are. Following these instructions correctly will ensure you get the best results from your batteries.
The batteries fitted to Buddy are the latest in battery technology. They are sealed maintenance free and especially designed for
power mobility. They do not require topping up.
They are fully enclosed within their cases and because of the battery design can be put down in any manner necessary, stood
upright, laid down or even upside down for that matter, there will be no leaks.
As the batteries are sealed they are acceptable for air travel. Please consult your carrier prior to departure.
Please note - Each carrier reserves the right to carry what may be termed as hazardous cargo. TGA cannot be responsible for
their final decision.
