SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 

 Please read this manual before using your SUMO.

 

 Check the frame lock and all clamps before using your SUMO.   

 Do not turn your Scooter “On” before you are seated 

and ready to go. 

 Practice riding in an open area free of vehicles, pedestrians and 

obstacles before using your SUMO near other people. It is also 

recommended that someone accompanies you during practice.   

 The SUMO was designed for hard and flat surfaces. It should not   

be used on steep slopes or loose surfaces 

 Reduce speed when turning. 

 Take extreme care when driving in wet conditions. 

 For your safety, it is recommended that you wear a helmet. 

 Do not operate the Forward/Reverse switch when moving. This 

could damage your SUMO. 

 Do not use the SUMO on slopes over 6 degrees.   

 Do not drive on slopes when the yellow battery light is on.   

Also, you should recharge your battery as soon as possible.   

If the red battery light comes on or is flashing, you should stop   

using immediately and recharge the battery, or fit a spare battery   

if you have one. 

 Always switch the power “Off” before leaving your scooter or while   

it is unattended. You can also disconnect the battery plug   

before leaving your scooter. 

 Do not put your fingers on the Speed Lever before you turn the   

key switch “On”. This could cause the SUMO to move   

without warning. 

 Your key switch must be in the “Off” position before connecting   

the battery lead.
