STREETS AND ROADWAYS
WARNING! You should not operate your PTV on public streets and roadways. Be aware that it may
be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your PTV. Obey all local pedestrian traffic
rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme caution.
INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! The SCOOTER Store recommends that you do not operate your PTV in icy or slippery
conditions or on salted surfaces (i.e., walks or roads). Such use may result in an accident, personal
injury, or adversely affect the performance and safety of your PTV.
WARNING! The SCOOTER Store recommends that you do not expose your PTV to any type of
moisture at any time (rain, snow, mist, or wash). Such exposure can damage your PTV. Never
operate your PTV if it has been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
FREEWHEEL MODE
Your PTV is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that when disengaged allows the PTV to be pushed. For more
information about how to place your PTV into and out of freewheel mode, see section V. “Your PTV.”
WARNING! Do not use your PTV in freewheel mode without an attendant present. Personal injury
may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to personally place your PTV in freewheel mode while seated on it.
Personal injury may result.
WARNING! Do not place your PTV in freewheel mode while on an incline. The PTV could roll
uncontrollably on its own, causing personal injury.
PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time,
remove the key from the key switch. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle
control lever contact. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.
WARNING! Do not use your PTV to negotiate steps or escalators. You may cause injury to yourself
and to others and damage your PTV.
DOORS
n Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
n Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
n Drive your PTV gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your PTV gently and slowly
backward to pull the door open.
