Driving the vehicle - hazards
1. Getting on and off the vehicle: When getting on make sure that the vehicle is on level ground, and not
in freewheel mode. Ensure that the armrests are secure. When getting off, park on level ground, turn off
the ignition and remove the key before leaving your seat. Make sure you get off the vehicle in a safe area.
2. Tiller Position: Drive with the tiller in an upright position that feels comfortable with the controls in easy reach.
3. Kerbs and Obstacles: Try to avoid kerbs and obstacles. Never ride up or down kerbs or obstructions higher
than that in the Technical Specification Sheets. Always tackle obstacles head on. Use ramps wherever possible
and ensure that all wheels will fit on the ramp. Always try to avoid crossing a slope. If you have to cross a
slope, take great care to avoid tipping. Never make sharp turns on slopes or back down a slope. Note that the
anti-tip rollers at the rear of the scooter may contact the kerb as you descend; this is normal.
4. Hills & Slopes: Going Up Hill. Lean forward when going up. Make sure you have enough speed to
climb the slope. Do not stop or turn the vehicle around. If you have to turn while climbing an incline,
keep going until you reach a level area. If you have to start on an incline, lean forward and apply power
slowly – do not start and stop. If you are not comfortable about tackling a gradient, consider an
alternative route. Note: Always check that the battery level is high; going up hill takes a lot of energy. If the
level drops too low the vehicle will cut out leaving you stranded.
Warning! Before driving the scooter you should be aware that, under certain circumstances it could
become unstable and tip over. Your scooter has been designed to operate on paved, even surfaces and
should not be used on rough or rutted terrain. Do not exceed the maximum safe slope recorded in the
Technical Specifications.
