When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while in the FORWARD motion, the powered scooter will roll back approximately one (1) foot before the brake engages. If the throttle control lever is released while in the REVERSE motion, the powered scooter will roll back approximately three (3) feet before the brake engages.

Before attempting to sit in or exit the powered scooter, remove the key from the ignition. This will ensure that the power is off and the powered scooter will not drive.

DO NOT remove the key or shut off while the powered scooter is in motion.

Remove the key from the ignition while the powered scooter is not in use so as to avoid injury and/or damage to the scooter and surrounding areas.

DO NOT attempt to lift the powered scooter by its tiller, seat or shrouds.

DO NOT stand on the frame of the powered scooter.

DO NOT stand on the shroud(s) of the powered scooter.

The rear shroud is designed to cover the batteries, controller, harness, motor connections and transaxle. DO NOT operate the powered scooter without the rear shroud installed, to avoid injury and/or damage to scooter.

On 400 only - BEFORE use, ensure that the frame lock lever is in the LOCKED position securing the front and rear frame assemblies together. Otherwise injury and/or damage may occur.

DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat or pick them up from the floor by reaching between your knees.

DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects from behind, as this may cause the powered scooter to tip over.

DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the powered scooter may tip over.

For individuals with balance problems, DO NOT attempt to transfer into or out of the powered scooter without assistance. Practice transferring activities with an assistant in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional.

Ensure that the seat is properly locked before use. Otherwise that user may fall from the scooter resulting in bodily harm. Attempting unsafe transfers may cause the user to fall, resulting in serious injury.
