Page 7: Weight Limitations
When driving down a ramp, keep the scooter’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a safely controlled descent. See V. “Your Vista.” n Avoid sudden stops and starts. -
Page 8: Safety
These tests were conducted with the Vista’s seat in the highest position and adjusted backward on the seat base to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your Vista’s ability to travel up inclines is affected by your weight, your scooter’s speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your scooter setup. - Page 9 WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your scooter at higher speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. To avoid personal injury or property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering. Vista...

Page 11: Freewheel Mode
Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that when pulled up allows the scooter to be pushed.

Personal injury may result. - Page 12 WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time, turn off the power.

Page 15: Emi/Rfi
EMI/RFI. This resistance is measured in volts per meter (V/m). A higher resistance level offers greater protection against EMI/RFI. In other words, an electric scooter with a high resistance level is less likely to be affected by a strong radio source than is an electric scooter with a low resistance level. Vista... - Page 16 If unintended motion or unintended brake release occurs, turn off your scooter (by removing the key) as soon as it is safe to do so. If my scooter moves unintentionally, where should I report the incident? Call our headquarters at 1-800-800-8586 to report the incident. Vista...

Page 24: Batteries And Charging
Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your Vista’s batteries, but it does not overcharge them. We do not recom- mend that you charge your Vista’s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours. - Page 25 “full day” of service. We recommend that you charge your Vista’s batteries for 8 to 14 hours after daily use. n If you use your Vista once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at a time.
- Page 26 It may take a few days for the temperature of your Vista’s batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new room or ambient temperature.
- Page 27 For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your Vista to raise the scooter off of the ground. This takes the weight off of the tires and prevents the possibility of flat spots from developing on the areas of the tires in contact with the ground.
-
Page 28: Operation
1. Make certain that the key is removed from the key switch. WARNING! Never attempt to board or exit your Vista without first removing the key from the key switch. This prevents the Vista from moving if accidental throttle control lever contact is made. - Page 29 5. Carefully and safely get out of the seat and stand to the side of your Vista. 6. You may, if you wish, leave the seat facing to the side to facilitate boarding your Vista the next time you are going to operate it.
