Guidance for safe operation and use
Crossing roads
Your scooter is not capable of
mounting and dismounting kerbs
and other obstacles in excess of
25mm (1"). Always use pedestrian
crossings or drop downs. Be
aware that some drop downs may
be entrances to driveways. Use
caution if this is the case.
Remember before crossing the
road, drive forwards and position
the scooter at 90° to the road.
Stopping about 30 - 60cm (1 - 2
feet), away from the edge of the
footpath. Check that it is clear to
cross. Select a medium to high
speed setting and when safe to do
so, drive across without stopping.
Note: Heavier users will require
higher speed settings.
Note: Low speed settings are
recommended when travelling
down hill, particularly in reverse.
Also, reduce your speed when
turning corners. The anti-tip
devices fitted to the scooter
must not be removed
Travelling across slopes
Care should be taken traversing
across a slope.
Note: Do not traverse across the
face of a slope in excess of 6°.
Disregard of this advice could
result in your scooter tipping.

Use on the footpath
When using your scooter on
the footpath always be aware
of pedestrians and situations
which might require extra care.
For example, young children and
pets. Remember, especially when
driving in public places, to drive
with caution and regard for others
at all times. When manoeuvring in
confined areas, including shops,
ensure the minimum speed is
selected. If you leave your scooter
outside a shop ensure that it
does not obstruct pedestrians or
vehicular access, and remember to
