Getting to Know Wizzybug
USER GUIDANCE
Speed Always consider the appropriate speed to suit the user’s
ability and environment. When used indoors, or in conned
spaces, Wizzybug can be driven at a low speed, enabling your
child to steer around obstacles. It can also be driven at a higher
speed where space allows.
Stopping For the child to stop they must release their grip of the
joystick, allowing it to return to a neutral position.
If you need to stop Wizzybug urgently, you can turn off the power
switch at the back of the body (g. 5) or manually switch to the
carer control. However, the quickest way to stop the Wizzybug
may be to release your child’s hand from the joystick (g. 6).
Driving on slopes The stopping distances on slopes can be
signicantly greater than on horizontal ground.
Driving on pavements or near steps The carer must take
control of Wizzybug on pavements, near roads, accessible bodies
of water, near steps or other obvious hazards.
Always use dropped kerbs to move off of pavements or when
crossing the road to avoid the risk of your child accidentally veering
into danger. Keep your child away from the kerb edges and away
from roads.
