Safety Information General Warnings Warning ! The operation of scooters can endanger the life of the driver or third parties. Any driver should always be fully capable of operating this vehicle safely. Warning ! Sitting for long periods may increase the chance of thromboses or pressure sores. Users prone to such conditions are advised to take medical advice.
Warning ! Stopping If the scooter stops suddenly when turning, the scooter might topple. Try not to brake when turning. Warning ! Leaning Over Do not lean sideways, as this could cause the scooter to topple. Warning ! Escalators Never drive this scooter onto an escalator as this could cause toppling and severe injury. Warning ! Roads Cross roads at designated places where access and exit is ramped.
Rotary Speed Control: This controls the top speed of your scooter. When the knob is turned anticlockwise to the left, the scooter is limited to the slowest speed, marked by a tortoise. As the knob is turned to the right the speed will increase to a maximum, marked by a hare.
Brakes There are 3 braking systems. The first works with the finger controls. When the finger control is released the scooter will automatically brake and bring the scooter smartly to a stop. When the scooter stops an automatic brake will engage. This will stop the vehicle rolling forward or backward. When you start this brake will automatically disengage.
Seat Back Adjustment By operating the lever on the right hand side at the base of the seat back, the seat back folds down. Be careful, as the spring is quite strong, so hold the back and ease it down into the horizontal position rather than letting it go. The 309 model has a standard seat that will fold forward, the 329LE has a Captain’s Seat with spring lever.
