Safety instructions
Slopes and other obstacles
Warning
ƒ Avoid slopes with a gradient greater than 10º.
Driving on slopes (forwards or in reverse) is always
dangerous.
ƒ You must never free wheel down a slope.
ƒ Drive carefully along (pavement) edges. An
uneven surface increases the risk of overturning.
Attention
ƒ Your centre of gravity moves when you drive up or
down a slope. Please beware.
ƒ Your centre of gravity will change if you use the
slide system to change the seat position. You
should be aware of this, especially if you are riding
up a slope.
ƒ Turn around carefully on a steep slope as there is a
greater risk of overturning.
Always mount and leave a pavement in a forward,
ƒ
straight line. Accelerate very gently. It is better to
mount the pavement using a curb cut.
ƒ The maximum height you can drive over is 10 cm.
ƒ Soft, slippery or uneven surfaces increase the risk
of a dangerous situation.
Transporting the mobility scooter without a driver
(see also the chapter 'Transport and storage')

When transporting the mobility scooter in a motor
ƒ
vehicle, always make sure you are seated in a fixed
seat inside the motor vehicle. Mobility scooters

vehicle, even if the mobility scooter is secured with
a taxi restraint system.

when folding down the mobility scooter.
ƒ Never carry the mobility scooter by the plastic
parts of the housing.

ƒ
assembled before use.
Miscellaneous
Warning
ƒ Do not leave the mobility scooter in direct
sunlight: the upholstery can become too hot, and
cause burns or irritation to the skin.
Caution
Do not allow the mobility scooter to come into
ƒ
contact with seawater: seawater is corrosive and
will damage the mobility scooter.
ƒ Do not allow the mobility scooter to come into
contact with sand: sand may penetrate to the
moving parts of the mobility scooter, causing
faster wear and tear.
Attention
A number of technical precautions have been made
to further guarantee your safety:
The immobiliser is activated whenever a battery
ƒ
charger is connected.
ƒ The speed in bends is automatically limited.
ƒ Free wheeling is limited. When travelling downhill
the mobility scooter will limit its speed once the
maximum speed has been reached.
ƒ The display warns you if the battery voltage is too
low.
The display gives you information for resolving
ƒ
possible faults.
