Safety warning and user guidance
Batteries
Always check the batteries are
sufficiently charged before setting
off.
Always ensure that your batteries
are in good condition and that no
leakage has occurred.
Beware, battery fluids are corrosive
and care should be taken at all
times to avoid contact with it. If it
comes into contact with the skin
or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water. If it comes into
contact with the eye, immediately
flood the eye with running cold
water for at least 10 minutes and
seek medical attention.
Keep batteries upright at all times,
especially when transporting your
scooter.
Always follow the procedures
for battery charging set out in
Pages 25 - 29.
Always charge your batteries in a
room with good ventilation.
Do not charge your batteries in
outdoor conditions.
Do not expose any part of your
charger, battery or scooter to direct
heat (i.e. Gas fires or naked flame).

Tyres
Your scooter has solid tyres all
round. They do not require inflation.
It is good practice to inspect the
tyres for damage or wear, regularly.
Emergency Braking
Turning off the power switch
whilst moving will switch off the
power causing immediate and full
braking. This method of stopping
is not recommended except in an
emergency.
Caution!
Routine use of emergency braking
will cause damage to your scooter.
Freewheel mechanism
Caution!
Transporting the scooter along a
slope in freewheel mode can be
dangerous. Take extra care if this
is necessary. Always re-engage the
freewheel device after use.
Never sit on your scooter whilst in
freewheel since the scooter will no
longer automatically stop.
