WARNING! It is critically important that 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure be maintained

in pneumatic tyres at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tyres. Low pressure

may result in loss of control, and overinflated tyres may burst. Failure to maintain 2-2.4

bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure in pneumatic tyres at all times may result in tyre and/or wheel

failure, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

WARNING! Inflate your scooter tyres from a regulated air source with an available pressure

gauge. Inflating your tyres from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting

in a burst tyre and/or personal injury.

II. SAFETY

Figure 1. Maximum Recommended Incline Angles

WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the

incline. Drive your scooter straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a

tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.

WARNING! Do not drive your scooter across the side of an incline or diagonally up or down

an incline; do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down an incline.

WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas

covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).

WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the scooter in freewheel

mode while seated on it or standing next to it.

WARNING! Even though your scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater than those

illustrated in figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or

any other specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your

scooter, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do not

necessarilyshare thesamestandardpercentofslope.Otherinclines maybenatural or,ifman-made, notdesigned

specificallyforscooters.Figure 1 illustrates your scooter’s stability and itsabilitytoclimbgradesundervarious

weightloadsandundercontrolledtestingconditions.

Thesetestswereconducted with the scooter’s seat in the highestpositionandadjustedrearwardonthe seat base

toitsfarthest rearward position.Usethisinformationas a guideline.Yourscooter’sabilitytotravelup inclines is

affectedby your weight, your scooter’s speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your scooter setup.

WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is shown in figure

1 may put your scooter in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal

injury.

WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 7 kg (15 lbs.). Never fill the

rear basket with contents exceeding 7 kg (15 lbs.).

NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the

scooter may “rollback” approximately 30.5 cm (1 foot) before the brake engages. If the throttle control

lever is released while moving in reverse, the scooter may “rollback” approximately 1 meter (3 feet)

before the brake engages.

Cornering Information

Excessivelyhigh cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of

tippinginclude, butarenot limitedto,corneringspeed,steeringangle(howsharplyyouare turning),unevenroad

surfaces,inclinedroadsurfaces,ridingfromanareaoflowtractiontoanareaofhightraction(suchaspassingfrom

a grassy area to a paved area – especially at high speed while turning), and abrupt directional changes. High

cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and

steeringangle(i.e., lessen thesharpnessoftheturn) to preventyourscooterfrom tipping.

WARNING!

When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your scooter at higher

speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. To avoid

personal injury or property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.
