Extra Guidelines In The Control Of Your Scooter; Batteries And Battery Charger - Shoprider 888SL Owner's Manual

EXTRA GUIDELINES IN THE CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER

Ramps
The stability of your scooter is governed by several factors such as the seating position, the angle
of the slope and your height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so directly and not at
an angle and whenever possible avoid making turns. When going down a ramp or slope keep the
settings to slow. This will ensure there is a safe controlled descent. When the finger levers are re-
leased the scooter will slowly stop.
Safe Climbing Angle
Always follow the guidelines of the safe climbing angle shown as shown in figure 9.
Caution - Do not turn off the control key while the unit is in motion
Grass and Gravel
Please follow the guidelines given previously and your scooter will perform admirably over
many surfaces. Avoid long grass, loose gravel and sand.
NOTE: You should not operate your scooter in wet weather or on wet surfaces. This may
cause the motor to sort out.
( Single user )
Angles and weights shown here for this scooter indicate the safe working angles for the user and
equipment. Any scooter used outside these parameters may be unsafe and or cause future prob-
lems with the electrical systems

BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGER

The Shoprider scooter is supplied with maintenance free, sealed lead acid batteries. Battery per-
®
formance can be affected by temperature, terrain, condition of battery, type of battery charger, the
weight of the user, wind speed, etc. The battery level indicator is only a guide and is most effective
