Compact Scooter
Note: Automatic braking is not instantaneous and will engage within 1/2
a wheel turn once the scooter has stopped.
Emergency Braking
In the unlikely event of an unwanted movement of the scooter or other
emergency, switching off the key switch will bring the scooter to a stop.
Though very effective, emergency braking is extremely abrupt and must
never be used under normal circumstances. Letting go of the throttle lever will
slow the scooter to a controlled stop.
Switching off
The scooter must always be switched off at the key switch. When the scooter is
stowed or not in use for a long period of time, always charge the batteries for
12 hours and then disconnect the battery pack before storing. If the scooter is
to be stored for a long period of time, remove the fully charged battery packs
and store, at or near room temperature, out of freezing conditions i.e. greater
than 0°C.
Use on the footpath
When using your scooter on a footpath 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
maneuvering in confined areas, including
shops, ensure the minimum speed is selected
(Photo 12.4). If you leave your scooter outside a
shop ensure that it does not obstruct the
footpath or vehicular access.
Always switch off and take your key with you.
Crossing roads
Your scooter is not capable of mounting and dismounting curbs and other
obstacles in excess of 45mm.
Remember before crossing the road, drive forwards and position the scooter
at 90° to the road, stopping about 30 - 60cm (1 - 2 feet) away from the edge of
the footpath. Check that it is clear to cross. Select a medium to high speed
setting and when safe to do so, drive across without stopping.
Note: Heavier users will require higher speed settings.
