Driving
Before driving, refer to "Driving Your Vehicle" ... later in this manual
Warning ! Ambient Operating Temperature Range. Do not use your scooter in temperatures outside the
range stated in the specifications section of this manual. Driving in very hot or very cold conditions
can make driving more hazardous.
Warning ! Freewheel Device/Mode. Before getting on your scooter always check that the freewheel lever is
in the Drive position. When the freewheel lever is in the freewheel position, the main brakes on your
scooter will not function. Extra care should be taken with your scooter when it is in freewheel
mode as it could move without warning. You must never sit on or try to ride your scooter when it is
in freewheel mode as serious injury or death may result.
NEVER SIT ON THE SCOOTER WHEN IN FREEWHEEL MODE.
Warning ! Transferring On and Off. Do not attempt to get on or off your scooter unless it is switched off, at
rest, and on a stable, level surface. Never get on or off on a hill.
Warning ! Damage. Before driving off, check the scooter for damage, particularly that which could affect the
controls, wheels, freewheel function and/or drive motor.
Warning ! Footrest. Before switching on the scooter, always make sure that your feet are safely on the
footrest areas. If you drive forward with your feet still on the ground, they could become trapped
under the scooter and serious injury may result.
Warning ! Armrests. Do not use the armrests as a support for your entire weight when getting in or out of
the scooter. Make sure the armrests are lowered and secure before you start off otherwise you may
fall out.
Warning ! Entanglement. Do not wear clothing or carry items on the scooter that could become entangled in
wheels or other moving parts whilst operating the scooter. Severe injury may result.
