WARNING!
GET OFF ALWAYS FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO AVOID RISKS OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND
FALLING.
IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE AUTO BALANCING, WHEN YOU GET ONTO THE FOOTBOARD THE LED ALARM
LIGHT WILL SWITCH ON. DO NOT USE DOC 2, WAIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN. IF YOU ARE ON A SLOPE, MOVE
TO FLAT TERRAIN. IN ANY CASE PROCEDE WITH CALIBRATION AND RESET PROCEDURE.
R
UNNING
As explained above DOC 2 BALANCE SCOOTER moves on the basis of the perception of the body’s centre of gravity upon it.
As a result:
•
If there is an excessive lateral inclination, DOC 2 will notice more weight on the external footboard and will
tend to curve.
•
A perfectly vertical position keeps DOC 2 stationary, a slight movement forwards or backwards will make DOC
2 start in the respective direction.
•
The pressure on the right or left footboard will make it curve to the right or left.
DO NOT MAKE SHARP TURNS OR TURNS AT HIGH SPEEDS: THESE ARE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS FOR DRIVING DOC 2
BALANCE SCOOTER.
DO NOT DRIVE OVER CROSS SLOPES OR IN REVERSE: THIS TYPE OF CONDUCT AFFECTS THE DRIVING SAFETY OF DOC 2.

UNCTION
.
DOC 2 has self-balancing function.
It allows an easy climb-on and corrects wrong positions that could be dangerous for the user.
More exactly:
•
When powered on, DOC 2 places himself parallel to the ground automatically.
•
When placing a foot on the platform, DOC 2 will produce an equal and opposite force in order to balance the
user’s weight during the climb-on.
•
In presence of bumps or sudden swings, DOC 2 will automatically bring the user’s center of gravity inside the
platform and alert through a beep and red light.

ROTECTION FUNCTIONS
There follows a list of the anomalies that could lead to the protection functions of DOC 2 BALANCE SCOOTER being activated.
During use, if the system notes the presence of errors or the loss of balance, it will warn the user of these anomalies, through
control lights and intermittent alarm sounds. Example:
•
When the voltage of the battery is too low.
•
In the event of speed that is excessively high.
•
In the event of the battery being exhausted.
If the system goes into protection mode, the alarm sensors switch on and the control lights start to sound.
In the event of activities which involve a significant consumption of energy (lengthy climbs, particularly steep descents), the
vehicle could activate the automatic turning off mode.
