Parking And Stationary; Pushing The Scooter By Hand; Disengaging Motors - Invacare Colibri User Manual

WARNING!
Risk of tipping over
– Only ever drive downhill at a maximum of 2/3 of the
top speed.
– If your scooter is fitted with an adjustable backrest,
always return the backrest of your seat to an upright
position before ascending slopes. We recommend
that you lean the backrest slightly to the rear before
descending slopes.
– Never attempt to ascend or descend a slope on
slippery surfaces or where there is a danger of
skidding (such as wet pavement, ice etc).
– Avoid trying to get out of the scooter on an incline
or a gradient.
– Always drive in a straight direction along the road or
path you are travelling on, rather than attempting to
zigzag.
– Never attempt to turn around on an incline or a slope.

If you park your vehicle, or leave it idle or unattended for
a longer period:

5.6 Pushing the scooter by hand

The motors of the scooter are fitted with automatic brakes,
preventing the scooter from rolling away out of control when
the power supply is switched off. When pushing the scooter, the
magnetic brakes must be disengaged.
