conditions on the road or ground greatly increase the risk of your scooter’s wheels
losing traction and you losing control of your scooter.
Powering on your scooter requires turning the key in the ignition. This key is the
same used to lock and unlock the battery compartment of your scooter.
Operate your iLIVING Scooter at a slow and cautious speed until you are familiar
with the speed levers and the rate of acceleration. Practice going forward and
reverse in a familiar, enclosed space before operating your scooter outside.
The iLIVING scooter’s brakes will engage once you release the speed lever.
Familiarize yourself with these regenerative brakes by gently releasing the speed
lever. This will help you to gauge the rate at which the brakes engage.
In most states, it is illegal to operate a power mobility scooter on public roads.
Always be alert of other motor vehicles and pedestrians on roads, parking lots, and
other venues where you may be operating your scooter.
Whenever operating your scooter at night, it is your responsibility to wear
reflective clothing and/or reflective accessories so that cars, bicyclists, and
pedestrians can quickly and easily see you in the dark. The iLIVING Scooter
features a pair of small headlights and a pair of red tail lights. In addition, the
iLIVING Scooter is equipped with brake lights so that others can see when you are
stopping. This is particularly useful at night or when operating your scooter in the
dark or in low visibility conditions.
This iLIVING Scooter is designed only for use on firm, even surfaces, such as
concrete, asphalt, hardwood floors, and indoor flooring. Never attempt to operate
your scooter on rough terrain, on or through sand, or in loose soil. The scooter’s
wheels need to be able to easily retain traction with the ground; uneven surfaces
can damage the scooter’s body and axles and can cause you to lose control of your
scooter.
When operating your scooter in reverse, constantly check to make sure your path is
clear of obstacles.
