Mercury Regatta Owner's Handbook Manual page 4

Do not use your vehicle in the following environments
• On roads with heavy traffic or roads that are muddy, gravelly, bumpy, narrow, snowed over or icy.
• Places where you might get the wheels stuck.
• On canal towpaths which are not guarded by any fence or hedge.
• Do not drive at night or if it is raining heavily, snowing, misty or windy.
• Do not drive your vehicle in an 'S' pattern or make erratic turnings.
• Do not take the scooter onto escalators.
• Under no circumstances should the scooter be used as a seat in a motor vehicle (e.g. cars, buses,
trains, etc)
Gradients and Drops
• Do not drive on roads with large drops or potholes. Such drops or potholes may cause damage
and/or injury.
• The Regatta is capable of climbing a 80mm (3") obstacle when stationary or a 100mm (4")
obstacle when moving. The Regatta 6 can climb an obstacle up to 75mm (3"). However, it is not
recommended as this may cause damage and/or injury.
• The ground clearance of the scooter is 160mm (6¼") for the Regatta, and 75mm (3") for the
Regatta 6.
• Do not cross wide water gutters where there is a risk of getting the wheels stuck.
• Always use a low speed setting when ascending or descending a gradient.
• The Regatta 6 and Regatta should only be used on gradients 8º or less.
The Regatta can be used on gradients 12º but only if the user is less than 135kg.
Warning
Do not set in freewheel mode when driving on a gradient.
Always re-engage the anti-freewheel device before use. Failure to do so may result in injury.
• To protect your safety, the power will automatically cut off and the electromagnetic (EM) brake
will activate while you are driving down gradients over 15º. This will limit the speed to a safe
level. Switch the power off and on again to restart your scooter.
