Important Notes when Driving your Vehicle
Driving your vehicle
Whether or not this is your first mobility vehicle, read these guidelines as all vehicles differ.
Failure to do this may cause damage to you, a third party or the vehicle.
Check the weather. Make sure you are wearing suitable clothing, regardless of whether
your journey is long or short. (Remember when it is hot to wear a hat.)
If you are taking medication, check with your doctor or physician to ensure that your ability
to control the vehicle will not be impaired.
• Do not drink & drive. It’s the law!
• Only use the scooter in accordance with its intended use (see page 4).
• Always stop the scooter on a flat area and always remove the ignition key when it is
not in use.
• Do not climb curbs higher than 3” and always lean forward. When climbing a curb,
approach at a slow speed. Do not hit the curb or an obstacle at speed, as this can
cause the front wheel to bounce upwards, rendering the vehicle unstable. As you
make contact, apply power until the vehicle has completed the task. When
descending a curb or obstacle, check for traffic and descend slowly until you are on
flat ground.
• Do not stop when going up a hill. Always lean forward and get to a flat area.
• If you are taking medication, check with your doctor or physician to determine that
your ability to control the vehicle will not be impaired.
• Do not drive through deep water; transport more than one person; tow other
vehicles, drive on rough unpaved ground or soft mud, or carry excess weight.
• Do not modify the vehicle as this will invalidate your warranty.
• Make sure the battery charger is disconnected.
• Make sure you have adjusted the seat as instructed in this manual. Get
comfortable, and set the speed control dial to a low setting.
• Switch on the vehicle. Check that the battery level indicator is full (6 bars).
• Always place your feet on the footplates.
• To brake, release the lever. If at any point you become unsure or feel unsafe,
release the lever immediately.
• As you get accustomed to the vehicle, use the power button to increase the speed.
