SAFETY INFORMATION

Further safe-riding points

G
Be sure to signal clearly when
making turns.
G Braking can be extremely difficult
1
on a wet road. Avoid hard braking,
because the scooter could slide.
2
Apply the brakes slowly when
stopping on a wet surface.
G
Slow down as you approach a cor-
ner or turn. Once you have com-
pleted a turn, accelerate slowly.
G Be careful when passing parked
cars. A driver might not see you
and open a door in your path.
G
Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,
iron plates on road construction
sites, and manhole covers be-
come extremely slippery when
wet. Slow down and cross them
with caution. Keep the scooter up-
right, otherwise it could slide out
from under you.
G
The brake pads could get wet
when you wash the scooter. After
washing the scooter, check the
brakes before riding.
G
Always wear a helmet, gloves,
trousers (tapered around the cuff
EAU10371 and ankle so they do not flap), and
a bright colored jacket.
G
Do not carry too much luggage on
the scooter. An overloaded scoot-
er is unstable.
