12.4 REMOVAL OF PARTS BEFORE TRAVELLING:
Information on the removal of some parts before
travelling, should your travel operator or the carrier
require to do this can be found in this manual , which you
should take with you, as follows;
How to remove the seat; Section 5.1 (page 14)
How to disconnect and remove the batteries; Section 5.3
(page16)
How to disconnect the drive; Section 4.7, (page 9)
You should also ensure that any detachable parts e.g.
basket, crutches etc. are secured with your scooter or
separately packed and labelled so they do not get lost
during loading or unloading.
12.5 USING A HOIST TO LIFT YOUR SCOOTER:
Your scooter WITHOUT OCCUPANT can be lifted using
two suitably rated straps. An "H" frame constructed of a
minium of 4"x 4" timber sections should be used.
CAUTION!
1. The approximate maximum mass of the largest
scooter S700 is 150Kg so each strap should be rated
to 150kg. The hoist and "H" frame, should also be
capable of lifting the maximum mass of the scooter.
2. The scooter should be switched off before hoisting
and the keys removed.
3. The straps must be located as shown in Fig.12.1 and
12.2 below. DO NOT attempt to lift the scooter using
any other points such as the seat or tiller.
4. Ensure the straps are the same length and are
placed evenly so that the scooter is lifted evenly.
5. Never attempt to lift the scooter with an occupant
seated.

Fig.12.2
6. Place the front strap along the length of the front
"H" frame strut, ensuring the strap has even lengths
either side.
7.
Repeat the process for the rear "H" frame strut,
ensuring the straps have equal lengths.
8. Attach the straps to the hoist and follow the hoist
manufacturer's instruction to raise and lower the
scooter to the desired position.
9. Remove the straps and replace the keys on
completion of the manoeuvre.
WARNING!
Never lift/hoist the scooter with the occupant sitting in the
seat.

excess of one week), follow these simple instructions:
Fully charge the wheelchair for at least 24 hours.
Disconnect the batteries
CAUTION!
Never store your scooter for medium to long periods of
time:
