Safety Information

Read and understand these Warnings and the entire manual before using your Scooter.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious or fatal injury to
the user or damage to the vehicle.
1. DO NOT exceed the specifications of this unit, modify in
anyway, or use for a purpose other than a powered
scooter.
2. DO NOT operate this unit if your health or medications
you are taking cause you to feel dizzy, affect your vision,
or in any way impact your thought process,
coordination, or ability to safely operate the unit. Check
with your physician if you experience any of these
symptoms.
3. DO NOT operate this unit after consuming any alcoholic
beverages.
4. DO NOT transfer on or off the unit until it is turned OFF,
completely stopped, and on a stable and level surface.
5. DO NOT ride over curbs or other obstruction higher
than 3 inches.
6. DO NOT stop when going up an incline. If you must do
so, always lean forward when you start to move. This

tipping over backwards.
7. DO NOT climb inclines that pose a concern for stability.
8. DO NOT drive across an incline or attempt to turn while
on an incline.
9. DO NOT back down an incline or allow the unit to be
backed down an incline.
10. DO NOT turn the Key Switch off while the unit is
moving. This will cause the brake to activate, stopping
the vehicle abruptly.
11. DO NOT attempt to get off the vehicle while it is
moving.
12. ALWAYS remember vehicle capacity is limited to one
person only. This unit is not approved for towing, or for
weights in excess of the published maximum.
13. ALWAYS drive straight up and down inclines.
14. REDUCE SPEED when traveling on (up or down)
inclines. Select the slowest speed setting that will still
allow the vehicle to climb the incline.
15. NEVER try to turn around on an incline!
