Transporting Your Scooter - Rascal Vecta Sport Owners Manual & Service Record

11. Pavements: It is illegal to drive at more than
4 m.p.h. on the pavement. When driving on pave-
ments and in pedestrian areas, make sure you actu-
ate the "tortoise" switch on the dashboard - this
will automatically limit the scooter to the maximum
legal limit of 4mph. Always slow down in crowded
areas and take care not to collide with pedestrians.
12. Shower Rooms or Washing: Never take your
scooter into a shower or steam room, and never
hose or jet-wash it down. Its sensitive electronics
could malfunction if they get wet or damp.
13. Immersion: Never enter large puddles or areas
of water where the depth and/or current is unknown.
Immersion or partial immersion of the scooter may
damage it and could leave you stranded.
14. Punctures: Your Vecta Sport scooter is
equipped with run flat tyres. See advice in (10) above.

Transporting your Scooter

Warning!
Dismantling the scooter involves
lifting and handling heavy parts. Weights are
given in the Technical Specification; consider
if you need help in handling parts before you
try to lift them. Your scooter is not designed
for unassisted loading into and out of a car or
similar vehicle. Specialist ramps and hoists are
available for transferring the scooter into and out
of a vehicle. Contact your dealer for advice on
how best to transport your scooter in your par-
ticular vehicle.
Warning!
Pinching or Crushing. Be careful
to avoid being pinched or having your hands
crushed when lifting or handling parts. Wear
gloves whenever possible. Special attention
should be paid when raising and lowering arm-
rests or rotating/handling the front wheels when
dismantling or during re-assembly for transpor-
tation in a vehicle.
Warning!
This scooter is not suitable for use
as a seat for an occupant in a motor vehicle.
Warning!
Do not stand the scooter up on its
ends or sides as it may become unstable and
topple causing an injury.
To transport your scooter you will need special-
ist lifting equipment and / or ramps. Your dealer
will be able to advise you on the best solution for
your particular needs. It is possible to fold the tiller
down and either fold the seat forwards or remove it
completely for storage or to assist in loading into a
vehicle using ramps or a hoist.
To remove the seat:
1. Grasp the seat as shown (Fig.17), compress
the seat swivel lever and lift the seat away from the
scooter frame.
Tip: Removing the seat may be easier if you first
use the seat swivel function to rotate the seat so it
is at 90˚ to the scooter before lifting.
To fold the tiller:
1. Having first removed the seat, fold the tiller
to its lowest position by actuating the tiller
adjustment lever (Fig.18) and then fold down.
Release the lever to lock in the down position.
