Steering; Reversing; Dismounting; Ramps / Slopes - Shoprider Valencia User Manual

Steering

Steering the scooter is light and easy. Ensure you give obstacles a wide clearance to avoid the rear
wheels catching. When steering through limited spaces, turn the tiller in the direction that you wish to
go and apply power gently. The scooter can turn very tightly with complete stability at slow speeds.
Caution:
Never turn sharply at high speeds as it can make the scooter unstable. The maximum
speed should be set at 50%.

Reversing

Before reversing ensure the area behind the scooter is free from any obstacles or hazards. Adjust
the speed setting to low before you reverse. Press the left thumb lever (black), and steer wide of all
corners and obstacles.
Caution:
Do not reverse down a slope or onto a main thoroughfare.

Dismounting

Before dismounting ensure that the key is turned to the off position.
Caution:
Please ensure that care is exercised when entering or leaving the scooter and that the tiller
is not used for support.
Note:
Adjustments of the seat height and length of the scooter could affect the stability and
handling characteristics of the scooter.

Ramps / Slopes

The stability of your scooter depends on several factors such as seat height, angle of gradient and the
users height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so directly and not at an angle and avoid
making turns where possible.
Caution:
Do not turn off the control key whilst the unit is in motion.
