Know the capabilities of your smartGyro Avanza. We recommend that you perform a safety check before each use to ensure that your SmartGyro Avanza runs smoothly and safely. Perform the following inspections before using your scooter: — Check all electrical connections. Make sure the cables are tight and not corroded. — Check the brakes. — Check the battery charge. If you discover a problem, contact your authorized provider for help.

LIMITATIONS OF WEIGHT

Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. See the Table of specifications at the beginning of the chapter for information.

More and more buildings have ramps with degrees of inclination designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps can have 180 degree turns that require you to know your scooter. — Proceed with extreme caution when approaching the access ramp or other slope. — Make large turns with your scooter around the corners. If it does, the rear wheels of the scooter will follow a wide arc, will not cut the corner and may have a clean trajectory. — When going down a ramp, keep a low speed to ensure a controlled descent safely. ¡REQUIRED! Stay within the specified weight capacity for your scooter. Overcoming the capacity of weight cancels your guarantee in case of any problem. We are not responsible for misuse of the Avanza Smartgyro for a weight that exceeds the maximum allowed. Do not carry passengers on your scooter. Carrying passengers on your scooter can affect the center of gravity and increase the risk of collisions and rollovers. — Avoid sudden stops and starts. When climbing on a slope, try to keep your SmartGyro Avanza moving. If you must stop, restart slowly and then accelerate with caution. To do this, place the accelerator in the slowest position. If your SmartGyro Avanza begins to lower the tilt faster than you want, let it stop completely by releasing the throttle control lever. Then push the throttle control lever slightly forward to ensure a controlled descent safely. When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle. Drive your SmartGyro Go strai- ght to the slope. This greatly reduces the possibility of a fall. Be very careful when climbing a steep slope. WARNING! Do not move up or down a potentially dangerous slope (areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or leaves with moisture). Although your SmartGyro Avanza is capable of scaling slopes greater than those illustrated in Image 1, under no circumstances should you exceed the tilt guidelines or any other specification presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your SmartGyro Avanza. The public access ramps for the disabled are not subject to government regulation in all countries and therefore do not necessarily share the same standard percentage of slope. Other inclinations can be natural or not designed specifically for these electric vehicles. Ima- ge 1 illustrates the stability of your SmartGyro Avanza and its ability to scale degrees under various weight loads and under controlled test conditions. These tests were performed with the SmartGyro Avanza seat in the highest position and were adjusted backwards in the base of the seat to its furthest position. Use this information as a guide. The ability of your SmartGyro Avanza to climb slopes is affected by its weight, speed and its angle of approach to the inclination. In any type of incline or slope, never accelerate your SmartGyro Move sharply while sitting on it. Do not drive your SmartGyro Advances parallel or diagonally on a slope; Do not stop if possible, while ascending or descending a slope.42 43 English User manual smartgyro.es

1. Recommended maximum inclination

Never carry an oxygen tank that weighs more than 6. 8 kg. Never fill the front or back basket with a content that exceeds 6.8 kg. When approaching a slope, it is best to lean forward. See images 2 and 2A. This moves the center of gravity towards the front of the SmartGyro Avanza to improve its stability. NOTE: While on a climb, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the SmartGyro Avanza can “rewind” approximately 1 foot (30.5 cm) before the brake is applied automatically. If the throttle control lever is released while moving in reverse, the SmartGyro Avanza can “roll back” Approximately 3 feet (one meter) before the brake is activated. 2A. Normal driving position 2B. Greater stability driving position

ROTATE WITH YOUR SMARTGYRO

Excessively high speeds can create the possibility of tipping over. Factors that affect rollover include, but are not limited to, speed in curves, steering angle (the speed with which uneven surfaces are traversed, inclined road surfaces, driving from a low area). traction to an area of high traction (such as going from a grassy area to a paved area (especially at high speed Any attempt to raise or lower a steeper slope than what is shown in the Image may place your SmartGyro Avanza in an unstable position and cause it to tilt. while turning), and changes of direction, high speeds are not recommended when cornering. for a corner, reduce the speed and the steering angle (decrease the speed of the turn) to prevent your SmartGyro Avanza from losing balance. BRAKING INFORMATION Your SmartGyro Avanza is equipped with powerful brake systems: — Regenerative: uses electricity to reduce vehicle speed quickly when the throttle control lever returns to the center / stop position. — Disc parking brake: mechanically activated after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to a standstill or when the system is switched off for any reason. It also has an advanced braking assistance on slopes, if you stop accelerating with the smartgyro advances on a slope, it will stop automatically. DRIVING SURFACES Your SmartGyro Avanza is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving con- ditions with smooth surfaces. There will be times when you will encounter other types of surface. For this reason, your SmartGyro Avanza is designed to work on compact soils, with grass or gravel. Feel free to use your SmartGyro Advances safely on the lawn and in park areas. — Slow down your SmartGyro Advance when driving on uneven terrain and / or soft sur- faces. — Avoid tall grass that may get entangled in the undercarriage. — Avoid gravel and loose sand. — If you are not sure about a driving surface, avoid that surface. USE OF YOUR SMARTGYRO AVANZA ON ROADS AND ROADS You should not use your SmartGyro Avanza on roads and public roads. Obey all local traffic laws intended for this type of vehicle. When you take a sharp curve, reduce your speedand keep the center of gravity.44 45 English User manual smartgyro.es OBSTACLES Do not try to make your SmartGyro Avanza raise or lower an excessively high obstacle. Do not try to move your SmartGyro Advances backward by a step, curb or other obstacle. This can cause the SmartGyro Avanza to tilt and lose balance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BATTERY AND CHARGER HOW DOES THE CHARGER WORK? When the battery voltage of your SmartGyro Avanza is low, the charger works harder, sen- ding more electric current to the batteries to increase its charge. When the batteries come close to a full charge, the charger sends less electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is almost zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it keeps charging the batteries of your SmartGyro Avanza, but does not overcharge them. We do not recommend charging the batteries of your SmartGyro Avanza for more than 24 consecutive hours. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE BATTERIES IN MY SMARTGYRO AVANZA DO NOT CHARGE? — Make sure that the battery pack’s fuse is working properly. — Make sure that both ends of the charger power cord are correctly inserted. CAN I USE A DIFFERENT CHARGER? The charger is adapted to the type, size and chemical formulation of the battery. We re- commend that you use the charger supplied in the original equipment, any other charging method is completely forbidden and may invalidate your warranty in case of error or mal- function. HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CHARGE THE BATTERIES? Depends on its use: — Daily use throughout the day. — Infrequent or sporadic use. With these considerations, you can determine how often and for how long you should char- ge the batteries of your SmartGyro Avanza. The battery charger was designed so that you do not overcharge the batteries, however, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do not charge them regularly. Following the guidelines below, it will provide safe operation and charging to the battery. — If you use your SmartGyro Avanza daily, charge your batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. We recommend that you charge the batteries of your SmartGyro Avanza for 8 to 14 hours after daily use. — If you use your SmartGyro Avanza once a week or less, charge your batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours in a row. — Keep the batteries of your SmartGyro Avanza fully charged. — Avoid deeply discharging the batteries of your SmartGyro Avanza. HOW CAN I ENSURE MAXIMUM BATTERY LIFE? Fully charged batteries provide reliable performance and long life. Keep the batteries of your SmartGyro Avanza fully charged whenever possible. Protect your SmartGyro Avanza and batteries from extreme heat or cold. Batteries that discharge regularly and deeply, which are infrequently charged in extreme temperatures or stored without a full charge, can be perma- nently damaged, which can cause unreliable performance and limited life. HOW CAN I GET THE MAXIMUM RANGE OR DISTANCE PER CHARGE? Rarely will you have the ideal driving conditions: driving surfaces, flat and smooth, without winds or curves. Often, it will face cracks in the pavement, curves of irregular surfaces and wind, all of which affect the distance of the operating time per battery charge. Below are some suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per battery charge. — Always fully charge the batteries of your SmartGyro Avanza before daily use.56 57 English User manual smartgyro.es — Limit the weight of your luggage to essential items. — Try to maintain a uniform speed without sudden changes. WHAT TYPE AND SIZE OF BATTERY SHOULD I USE? The battery of your smartgyro is sealed and should not be exchanged by another third-party battery even if the type of connection matches. If it is necessary to change your battery due to lack of autonomy or because it does not work, consult our technical team to obtain a new battery. NOTE: Sealed batteries can not be repaired or disassembled. WARNING! Contact your provider if you have any questions about the batteries in your SmartGyro Avanza. The batteries of your SmartGyro Avanza should only be repaired or replaced by an authorized dealer or a qualified technician. NOTE: If you find a damaged or cracked battery, immediately store it in a plastic bag and contact your local waste disposal agency or an authorized dealer for instructions on how to dispose of and recycle the battery. WHY DO MY NEW BATTERIES SEEM WEAK? Deep-cycle batteries use a chemical technology different from that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries (Nicads) and other types of communication batteries. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, deplete their charge and then accept a relatively fast recharge (8 to 14 hours).
