Driving The Vehicle

Read this before driving the vehicle!

Whether or not this is your first mobility vehicle, read these guidelines as all vehicles differ.

Failure to do this may cause damage to yourself, a third party or the vehicle.

1.Check the weather forecast. Make sure you are wearing suitable clothing, whether your jour- ney is long or short.

2.If you are taking medication check with your doctor or physician that your ability to control the vehicle will not be impaired.

3.Do not drink alcohol and drive – it’s the law!

4.Only use the vehicle for the purpose it’s intended for. Do not drive though deep water; trans- port more than one person; tow other vehicles, or carry excess weight. Do not modify the ve- hicle as this will render your warranty void.

5.Check the freewheel lever is in the locked position (page 16)

6.Check the battery charger is disconnected.

7.Check you have adjusted the seat as instructed in this manual – get comfortable – set the speed control dial to a low setting (page 12).

8.Make sure the road ahead is clear.

9.Switch on the vehicle (page 12). Check the battery level indicator is in the green area (page 12).

10.Pull in right hand lever slowly (page 13). The vehicle will now move. The more you pull the lever in the faster the vehicle will go.

11.To brake, release the lever. If you become unsure or feel unsafe release the lever immediately.

12.As you get accustomed to the power you can increase the speed.
