Driving information

Information about safe Scooter driving

NOTE:

Always carry out the safety information described in page 1 “Safety information”:

Driving the Scooter is very simple and after a few practice sessions you will find it very easy.

The following information should help you to drive safely through traffic:

1. Always match your speed to the driving situation in which you find yourself.

2. always reduce the speed when you are driving through:

- unclear areas

- narrow gaps

- tight curves

- inclines

- ramps

1. Take a trial run with the Scooter in an area with no pedestrians, or in a closed-off area

2. Always steer the Scooter using both hands on the handlebars

3. Always keep your feet in the foot area while driving the Scooter

Driving information

Driving up inclines and down slopes

The Scooter can climb up inclines of up to 12^ without danger.

NOTE:

The maximum safe incline has been determined in accordance with the EN standards. The scooter is able, under the maximum specified load, to start, brake and turn. It is possible to negotiate some steeper inclines however we do not advise you to do so. The overload protection device could trip due to a combination of, incline driving duration, steepness of the incline and load applied to the vehicle.

The scooter will slow down to a safe reduced speed to protect the motor if in overload/ over heated conditions.

Please switch off and allow the motor to cool down before continuing your journey. You may need to choose an alternative more suitable route if overload trip re-occurs.

Climb angle examples:

a 1 metre long ramp should not be higher than 2 a 2 metre long ramp should not be higher than 4

2 4 1 m 2 m 12° 21 cm 42 cm

Driving information

Avoid driving across an incline (always try to drive in the direction of the incline / decline).

There is an increased danger of tipping when climbing or descending gradients if:

the Scooter is loaded at the back and additionally

the backrest (captain's seat) is leant towards the back and the seat has been adjusted to its rear position.

You can achieve increased tipping safety if: you adjust the seat in a more forward position.

you adjust the backrest (captain's seat) to be vertical

you lean your upper body slightly forwards (see sketch)

Tipping hazard

Driving information

Overcoming obstacles:

The Scooter can climb over obstacles such as kerbstones up to height of 10 cm without any problem. Please observe the following points to make sure that your Scooter doesn't tip over while climbing obstacles: don't try to drive over obstacles which are too high example: kerbstones remedy:always climb up kerbstones at lowered entry areas such as driveways

DO NOT try to climb an obstacle when on an incline approach the obstacle at a right angle try to clear the obstacle in one go DO NOT drive over the obstacle with just one wheel

Driving information

DO NOT drive backwards over an obstacle

DO NOT drive backwards down a kerb

DO NOT drive down stairs or steps

Maintenance and Inspection

Maintenance and Inspection

If you find any faults on your scooter during maintenance which are not covered by the repair information, please contact your dealer.

Always remove faulty scooters from operation and secure them against unauthorised use (remove key).

Daily maintenance before start of journey

Check the brakes by driving slowly and then braking.

Check that the lights and indicators are functioning correctly.

Make a visual check of wheels and tyres for damage and loss of pressure.

Weekly inspections / tyre pressure

NOTE: Danger of injury due to overpressurised tyres:

The tyres will burst if inflated with too much air pressure

Never inflate the tyres over the specified pressure.

Only use calibrated instruments to measure

the air pressure in the tyres (such as are available at filling stations).

Hand adjusting a tire component with a numbered label (1) on the tire surface (no text or symbols on the tire itself)

Remove valve cap (1) - check air pressure.

Inflation pressure = 25 -28 PSI
