SECTION 6—OPERATION OF THE POWERED SCOOTER

OPERATING THE SCOOTER

WARNING

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure that all attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.

DO NOT make sharp turns in the forward or reverse direction at excessive speed. Failure to observe the warning can cause the scooter to tip over and may result in injury to user and/ or damage to the product.

To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional BEFORE attempting active use of the powered scooter.

Ensure seat is properly locked before attempting transfer into or out of the powered scooter. Attempting unsafe transfers may cause a fall from the powered scooter resulting in bodily injury.

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

1.Before operation of the powered scooter, review Control Panel on page 27.

2.Install and charge batteries. Refer to Removing/Installing the Batteries on 300 on page 50, Removing/Installing the Batteries on 400 on page 53 and Charging the Batteries on page 58.

3.Transferring to and from the seat can be accomplished in one (1) of two (2) ways:

A.Flipping UP the armrest makes entering/exiting easier.

B.Rotate seat to the direction of transfer. Refer to 90° Seat Swivel Adjustment on page 37.

4.Once the seat is locked in the forward-facing position and both armrests are in the DOWN position, adjust the tiller to a comfortable angle. Refer to Adjusting the Tiller Angle on page 43.

5.Adjust speed control knob to the appropriate setting.

NOTE: For driving indoors or on uneven terrain, a slower speed is recommended. For soft terrain or steep inclines (no greater than 8°), a faster speed may be necessary.

6. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position.

WARNING

ALWAYS depress the throttle control lever gradually. This will ensure smooth safe starts.
