 Warning – Do not operate your scooter for
the first time without completely reading and
understanding this owner's handbook
1.
Be aware that it may be difficult for traffic to
see you when you are seated on the
scooter. Obey all local pedestrian traffic
rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic,
and then proceed with extreme caution.
2.
To prevent injury to yourself or others,
always ensure that the power is switched off
when getting on or off of the scooter.
3.
Always check that the drive wheels are
engaged (drive mode) before driving. Do not
switch off the power when the scooter is
still moving forward. This will bring the chair
to an extremely abrupt stop.
4.
Do not use this product or any available
optional equipment without first completely
reading
and
instructions. If you are unable to understand
the warnings, cautions or instructions,
contact your dealer before attempting to
use this equipment, otherwise, injury or
damage may occur.
5.
There are certain situations, including some
medical conditions, where the scooter user
will need to practice operating the scooter
in the presence of a trained attendant. A
trained attendant can be defined as a family
member or care professional especially
trained in assisting a scooter user in various
daily living activities. Consult with your
physician if you are taking any medication
that may affect your ability to operate your
scooter safely.
6.
Do not attempt to lift or move a scooter by
any of its removable parts including the
armrests, seats or shrouds. Personal injury
and damage to the scooter may result.
7.
Never try to use your scooter beyond its
limitations as described in this manual.
8.
Please do not sit on your scooter while it is
in a moving vehicle such as a car, bus or
train.

work or using any tools on the scooter.
14. Do not attempt to lift or move your scooter
by any of its removable parts, such as the
armrests, seats, or shroud.
15. Do not climb a gradient at an angle. Always
drive straight up a gradient, as this greatly
reduces the risk of tipping or a fall. Do not
climb a gradient steeper than the scooter's
limitation.
16. Do not drive backwards down any step, kerb
or other obstacle. This may cause the
scooter to tip or fall.
17.
Always reduce your speed and maintain a
stable centre of gravity when cornering
sharply. Do not corner sharply when driving
scooters at higher speeds.
18. Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist and on icy
or slippery surfaces may have an adverse
affect on the electrical system.
19. Never sit on your scooter when it is being
used in connection with any type of lift or
elevation product. Your scooter is not
designed with such use in mind and any
damage or injury incurred from such use is
not the responsibility of Drive.
