Guidance for Safe Operation and Use
Crossing roads
Your scooter is not capable of mounting and dismounting kerbs and other obstacles in excess of 2” (51mm) (Photo 18.1). Always use pedestrian crossings or drop downs. Be aware that some drop downs may be entrances to driveways. Use caution if this is the case.
Remember before crossing the road, drive forwards and position the scooter at 90° to the road, stopping about 30
-60cm (1 - 2 feet) away from the edge of the footpath (Photo 18.2). Check that it is clear to cross. Select a medium to high speed setting and when safe to do so, drive across without stopping.
Note: Heavier users will require higher speed settings.
Note: Low speed settings are recommended when travelling down hill, particularly in reverse. Also, reduce your speed when turning corners. The
to the scooter must not be removed.

Turning corners
Always reduce your speed when turning corners, particularly when travelling downhill. Disregard of this advice could lead to your scooter tipping over.
Use of mobile phones
Mobile telephones or two way radio devices must not be used while operating the vehicle.
Use of mobile phones or two way radios can cause excessively strong electromagnetic fields. This may interfere with the vehicle’s electronic systems.
If mobile phones or mobile radios are required to be used, the vehicle must be brought to a halt and the power turned off before any such device is used.
