• During transport by car or boat, the SCOOTER must be firmly locked so that it does not move, otherwise it could
easily roll and create damage to both things and people. In this regard, the use of the appropriate support is
recommended (see Suex accessories).
• On a boat or inflatable boat it is important to avoid placing the SCOOTER in the bow or in any case in a position
that can be subjected to strong jolts: the internal parts could be damaged. When placing the SCOOTER on the
ground, it is always necessary to do it gently and when it is positioned vertically, it should be placed on a
horizontal plane, resting it on the propeller protection, taking care that nothing comes into contact with the
propeller.
If preferred, the SCOOTER can be raised by the operating handles, provided that too much stress is avoided since
they have not been designed to withstand excessive loads. Avoid supporting the weight of the SCOOTER with only
one handle.
