WARNINGS AND SAFETY INFORMATION

Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious or fatal injury
to the user or damage the scooter.
1. DO NOT exceed the specifications of this unit, modify it, or use for a purpose other than a
mobility scooter.
2. DO NOT transfer on or off the unit until it is stopped, turned OFF, and on a stable and level
surface.
3. DO NOT attempt to get off the vehicle while it is moving.
4. DO NOT turn the key switch off while the unit is moving. This will cause the brake to activate,
stopping the vehicle abruptly.
5. DO NOT climb inclines that pose a concern for stability.
6. If vehicle stalls going up a steep incline at full power, DO NOT attempt to continue upward.
Instead, back completely down the incline with the speed set at the slowest speed.
7. DO NOT operate this unit if your health or medications 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.
8. DO NOT operate this unit if you are intoxicated.
9. DO NOT ride over curbs or other obstructions higher than 1 inch. Always go straight up and
down obstacles, curbs and inclines to avoid making direct frontal contact with a magnetic
stabilizer wheel.
10. DO NOT stop when going up a steep incline. If you must do so, always lean forward when you
start to move. This will shift the center of gravity to prevent the unit from tipping backwards.
11. Vehicle is limited to one person only. This unit is not approved for towing, or for carrying
total weight in excess of the specified capacity.
12. REDUCE SPEED when traveling on (up or down) inclines. With the variable speed control
dial, select the slowest speed setting that will still allow the vehicle to climb the incline.
13. ALWAYS lean forward when traveling up inclines for best stability.
14. ALWAYS allow ample time to come to a complete stop when driving in areas with
pedestrians.
15. ALWAYS turn the power off when the unit is not in use. This will keep the unit from being
accidentally moved.
16. ALWAYS use a grounded receptacle. Use of a non-grounded receptacle could result in an
electrical shock.
17. ALWAYS keep arms and legs within the confines of the unit.
18. USE CAUTION when braking on an incline or wet or slippery surfaces as the unit will take
longer to come to a complete stop.
19. USE CAUTION when operating the unit in bad weather or driving through water as moisture
could affect the control system or other parts of the unit.
20. OPERATOR MUST REMAIN SEATED with the seat locked in the forward position when the
unit is moving.
21. NEVER hose off your scooter. To clean, use a soapy water solution.
22. NEVER use your scooter in a shower or steam room.
23. NEVER charge batteries that may be frozen. Allow them to thaw out before charging.
24. NEVER leave the scooter unprotected where it may be subjected to water damage.
