Guidance for safe operation and use
Mounting and dismounting kerbs
Your Scoota is capable of mounting and dismounting kerbs and obstacles up to 10cm (4").
Remember when climbing kerbs to drive forwards and face the kerb at 90°. Stopping about 30 - 60cm (I - 2 feet) away, select a medium to high speed setting and drive up without stopping. Leaning forwards will also help maximise your stability. (Fig. 13)
Note: Heavier users will require higher speed settings.
To dismount a kerb, face the kerb at 90°, but select a low speed setting. Move forward and slowly allow your Scoota to drop gently, front wheel(s) first from the kerb. The rear stabilising wheels may make contact with the kerb when dismounting this is normal.
Note: Low speed settings are also recommended when travelling down hill, particularly in reverse. Also, reduce your speed when turning corners. The
Travelling across slopes
Care should be taken traversing across a slope. (Fig. 14)
Note: Do not traverse across the face of a slope in excess of 10° (1 in 6).
Disregard of this advice could result in your Scoota tipping.

Use on the pavement
When using your Scoota on the pavement 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 Scoota outside a shop ensure that it does not obstruct pedestrians, and remember to keep the key with you for security.
In the UK always set the speed to half. This is achieved by setting the Speed Knob to position 4.
