General safety regulations and instructions
14
• Be sure that no items of clothing hang loose. These could
become caught between the wheels.
• Make sure your fingers do not get caught in the mechanism of
the tilt steering adjustment.
• Adjust your driving according to the circumstances:
- Drive carefully on slippery roads, resulting from rain, ice, or
snow!
- Drive more slowly in crowded environments.
- Do not use the scooter on uneven roads.
- Avoid the Fortress Winner from coming into contact with sea
water. Sea water is caustic and may damage the scooter.
- Avoid the Fortress Winner from coming into contact with sand.
Sand can affect the moving parts of the scooter, resulting in
unnecessarily rapid wear.
• Never operate the scooter when you are under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication that could affect your driving ability.
• You must have sufficient visual acuity to be able to drive safely in
the scooter.
• It is imperative to turn on the lights in case of reduced visibility.
• The scooter has been equipped with brake lights that light up
when you brake.
• Only use the indicator lights to indicate an intended change in
driving direction.
• Only use the horn when it is necessary to warn pedestrians of
other road users of dangerous circumstances.
• Never place metal parts on top of the batteries: this may cause a
short circuit in the batteries, resulting in damage.
• Do not carry any passengers: your scooter was specifically
designed to transport only yourself.
• Do not burden your scooter with any more load than can be
placed in the basket.
• Never hang anything from the handlebars.
• Never use your scooter to tow a trailer: the scooter was not
designed for this. It can cause serious damage to your scooter.
• Do not stand on the floor pan to reach objects.
• Do not place your feet close to the front wheel and fork when the
unit is moving. Always keep your feet on the rubber mat, rather
than against the front cover.
