Guidance for safe operation and use

Crossing roads

Use on the footpath

Your scooter is not capable of mounting and dismounting kerbs and other obstacles. 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. 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 anti-tip devices fitted to the scooter must not be removed

Travelling across slopes

When using your scooter on the footpath always be aware of pedestrians and situations which might require extra care. For example, young children and pets. Remember, especially when driving in public places, to drive with caution and regard for others at all times. When manoeuvring in confined areas, including shops, ensure the minimum speed is selected. If you leave your scooter outside a shop ensure that it does not obstruct pedestrians or vehicular access, and remember to switch it off for safety.

Care should be taken traversing across a slope.

Note: Do not traverse across the face of a slope in excess of 8°. Disregard of this advice could result in your scooter tipping.
