PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
We recommend you perform a safety check before each use to make sure your scooter
operates smoothly. See CARE & MAINTENACE.
 Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
 Check all connections to the battery box. Make sure they are secured properly.
 Check the brakes.
 Check the battery charge.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your scooter is rated for a 165 lb. individual and is limited to a maximum weight of 265 lbs.

INCLINE INFORMATION

More And more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy
and safe access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require
you to have good cornering skills on your scooter.
When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, to start up again
you should slowly accelerate cautiously. When driving down and incline, do so by setting the
speed adjustment knob to the slowest position and setting the forward/backward button to the
forward direction. If your scooter starts to move down the incline faster that you anticipated
or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever. Then
rotate down the speed adjustment knob and then push the throttle control lever down slightly
to ensure a safety-controlled descent.
The maximum safe incline angle is 8 degrees for your scooter. If a slope is less than this
angle, it is safe for your scooter to climb or descend.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result in
personal injury and damage to your scooter.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the
face of the incline. Drive your scooter straight up the incline. This greatly
reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when
negotiating an incline.
WARNING! Do Not drive up or down a potentially hazardous incline (areas
covered in snow, ice, cut grass or wet leaves).
WARNING! Never drive down an incline backwards. This could cause personal
injury.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descent a slope steeper than 8 degrees may
cause your scooter to be unstable and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury
and/or damage to your scooter.
