Further safe-riding points

●
Be sure to signal clearly when
making turns.
●
Braking can be extremely diffi cult
on a wet road. Avoid hard brak-
ing, because the scooter could
slide. Apply the brakes slowly
when stopping on a wet surface.
●
Slow down as you approach a
corner or turn. Once you have
completed a turn, accelerate
slowly.
● Be careful when passing parked
cars. A driver might not see you
and open a door in your path.
●
Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road con-
struction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Slow down and
cross them with caution. Keep the
scooter upright, otherwise it could
slide out from under you.
●
The brake pads could get wet
when you wash the scooter. After
washing the scooter, check the
1-5
EAU10372
brakes before riding.
●
Always wear a helmet, gloves,
trousers (tapered around the cuff
and ankle so they do not fl ap),
and a bright colored jacket.
●
Do not carry too much luggage
on the scooter. An overloaded
scooter is unstable. Use a strong
cord to secure any luggage to
the carrier (if equipped). A loose
load will affect the stability of the
scooter and could divert your at-
tention from the road. (See page
1-1.)
