Product Stability
Scooters and powered wheelchairs are designed to allow the user flexibility of
movement in restricted areas. Driving at maximum speed and attempting
sharp turns can create a situation where the product becomes unstable.
Therefore it is essential that the user pay attention the guidance set out in this
manual.
For maximum stability the speed setting should be set up to 50% of the
maximum available (halfway between the tortoise and the hare or just
entering the red sector on the speed indicator depending on the model.
The main factors affecting stability are:
• Maximum speed setting
• Seat height
• User movement
• User's manoeuvres
• Gradients or slopes
Please keep your speed to a level where you can safely stop without having
to make any erratic turns.
Do not load bags etc. on the back of the seat as this will affect the centre of
gravity and could increase instability.
Do not lean outside of the 'footprint' of the product, especially whilst moving.
Avoid making turns on gradients or slopes.
