instructions may be required. Please contact
the manufacturer immediately if you observe
any potential danger during the use of the
product.

Operation

Driving up a slope
 Never drive up a slope with an angle
greater than 14°.
 On slopes always drive slowly and with
great awareness.
 Do not drive down slopes with loose
gravel or a sandy surface, because one
of the rear wheels might slip.
 Avoid sudden and abrupt movements.
 Avoid changing directions or turning
around on a slope.
 Do not turn on a slope.
Version2012v2
 If you notice a significant decrease in
speed when driving on a slope, choose
a less steep route.
 If you drive on a slope too long, this may
result in overheating of the motor.
Driving down a slope
 If you need to reverse down a slope, use
the lowest setting of the speed
controller and drive as slowly and
carefully as possible.
 It can be very dangerous to reverse
down a slope.
Corners
 Never take a turn at full speed. Decrease
speed when taking a turn.
 Use the turn indicators when changing
direction.
Additional
 Drive carefully on roads that are slippery
as a result of rain, ice, or snow!
 Prevent the scooter from coming into
contact with sea water. Sea water is
caustic and may damage the scooter.
 Prevent the scooter from coming into
contact with sand. Sand can affect the
moving parts of the scooter, resulting in
unnecessary, rapid wear.
 You must not operate the scooter when
you are under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication that could affect
your driving ability.
 You must have sufficient visual acuity to
be able to safely drive the scooter.
 It is imperative to turn on the lights in
situations with reduced visibility.
 When driving at a high speed, you need
to be extra careful. Use a lower speed on
sidewalks and in pedestrian areas.
 Be sure that no items of clothing hang
loose. These could become caught
between the wheels.
1.4

Electronic precautions


The standard version of your scooter was
tested according to the strictest EMC
requirements. Mobile telephones have no
influence on the driving behaviour of the
