speed. Kerb climbing in any other manner will lead to your Minimo Plus becoming unstable and
the risk of possible accident and injury.
Watch out for:
Children – They may well run in front of you without warning. You may only be moving
very slowly, but you could still injure a child.
Elderly People – They may be unable to quickly move aside to let you pass. Give way to
them
Disabled people on foot – they too may be unable to quickly move aside to let you pass
People with visual problems or impaired hearing – Give them space and time
Other motorised vehicle users – You may be doing all the right things. This does not
guarantee they will do likewise
When you need help:
You may need to ask people to open doors for you
Most people are willing to help, if asked politely. Don’t struggle to do the impossible or even
the very difficult things when there are people around who would help if asked.
Driving inside shops and buildings
This is where you have the advantage over car users! Not many supermarkets would welcome
a car driving round their store. But bigger shops and even some quite small ones are accessible
to wheelchairs and scooters. Once inside the store it is your responsibility to drive slowly and
safely and not damage the fittings or the stock, or injure other shoppers or store workers. You
may need to ask for help. Again in most cases people are willing if asked politely. Don’t risk
pulling down a whole display to reach the top shelf. ASK FOR HELP.
Speed in shops and buildings
Reduce it! – Drive at the slowest speed to avoid any accident. Be especially careful if you need
to reverse, that your way is clear of shop fittings and people
Please ensure you have read and understood everything in this manual, it has been put
together using many years experience to ensure you will get the best from your TGA Minimo
Plus and that you will enjoy using it.
