Q Q Q SAFETY INFORMATION
● Braking can be extremely difficult
on a wet road. Avoid hard braking,
because the scooter could slide.
Apply the brakes slowly when stop-
1
ping on a wet surface.
●
Slow down as you approach a cor-
2
ner or turn. Once you have com-
pleted a turn, accelerate slowly.
● Be careful when passing parked
3
cars. A driver might not see you and
open a door in your path.
4
●
Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,
iron plates on road construction
5
sites, and manhole covers become
extremely slippery when wet. Slow
down and cross them with caution.
6
Keep the scooter upright, otherwise
it could slide out from under you.
7
●
The brake lining could get wet
when you wash the scooter. After
8
washing the scooter, check the
brakes before riding.
●
Always wear a helmet, gloves, trou-
9
sers (tapered around the cuff and
ankle so they do not flap), and a
bright colored jacket.
● Do not carry too much luggage on
the scooter. An overloaded scooter
is unstable. Use a strong cord to
secure any luggage to the carriers.
A loose load will affect the stability
of the scooter and could divert your
attention from the road. (See page
1-2.)
