14 Liteway Balance & Liteway Balance Plus Scooters Owner's Manual and Service Record
5. Hills & Slopes: Going Down Hill. Lean back in the seat when going down, and turn the speed
c
ontrol dial to low. If you are not comfortable about tackling a gradient, consider an alternative route.
Try to avoid crossing slopes – always drive straight up or down the slope.
N
EVER BACK DOWN A SLOPE!
6. Terrain: Do not drive your vehicle across deep, soft or slippery terrain ( for example, soft dirt, sand, or loose
gravel). You could get stuck. Also avoid rutted, bumpy ground and keep to well prepared paths. Avoid using
your scooter in situations where the stabiliser wheels contact the ground, or obstacles when you are not turning
7. Turning: Always slow down before a turn; turning at speed can cause the scooter to topple. Look in the
direction you are travelling – If there is a blind corner sound the horn.
8. Turning Circle: Practice manoeuvring your scooter so you can judge the turning circle. This is important
to avoid tipping off kerbs or for negotiating in tight spaces.
9. Bad Weather: If it is snowing or icy stay at home! Remember that ice, snow and slippery surfaces such
as manhole covers, wet grass and drains could affect braking and steering. Use caution at all times.
10. Tyres: Your vehicle is fitted with solid tyres. Should they become damaged they should be replaced by
your dealer. Do not attempt to replace them yourself.
11. Pavements: It is illegal to drive at more than 4 m.p.h. on the pavement. Your scooter is limited to that
maximum speed but always slow down in crowded areas and take care not to collide with pedestrians.
12. Shower Rooms or Washing: Never take your scooter into a shower or steam room, and never hose it
down. Its sensitive electronics could malfunction if they get wet or damp.
13. Immersion: Never enter large puddles or areas of water where the depth and/or current is unknown.
Immersion or partial immersion of the scooter may damage it and could leave you stranded.
