INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS

Exposure of your scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your scooter proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry your scooter before storing, charging, or operating your scooter.

WARNING! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy/slippery surfaces can cause personal injury and/or damage to the scooter and electrical system. Maintain and store your scooter in a dry and clean condition.

FREEWHEEL MODE

Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when pulled up, allows the scooter to be pushed. For more information about how to place your scooter into and out of freewheel mode, see V. “Your Scooter.”

WARNING! When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.

!Disengage the drive motor only on a level surface.

!Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.

!Stand behind the scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on a

scooter to do this.

! After you have finished pushing your scooter, always return it to the drive mode to lock the brakes.

Failure to heed the above could result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

An added feature built into your scooter is “push-too-fast” protection which safeguards the scooter against gaining excessive speed while in freewheel mode.

“Push-too-fast” operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists:

!If the key is switched “off” while in freewheel mode, the scooter’s controller activates regenerative braking when the scooter is pushed faster than a maximum threshold which has been preprogrammed. In this case, the controller is acting as a speed governor.

!If the key is switched “on” while in freewheel mode, you will encounter considerable resistance at any speed. This prevents the scooter from gaining unwanted momentum should the manual freewheel lever inadvertently be released while driving the scooter.

STAIRS AND ESCALATORS

Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.

WARNING! Do not use your scooter to negotiate steps or escalators. You may cause injury to yourself and to others and/or damage your scooter.

DOORS

!Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.

!Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.

!Drive your scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your scooter gently and slowly rearward to pull the door open.
