2 Warnings and Precautions
2.1 Operation
In some instances, including where certain medical conditions exist, users should
practice operating their scooter under the supervision of an assistant who is familiar
with the operation of the scooter and with the abilities and limitations of the user.
Do not drive the scooter over any curbs or obstacles higher than specified in the
technical specifications section of the manual. When driving over a curb or similarly
elevated surface, cross it at a 90 degree angle (perpendicular). Crossing such surfaces
at any other angle may result in the scooter’s tipping.
Reduce your speed when driving on uneven terrain or soft surfaces. Never use your
scooter on stairs or escalators. Always take the elevator.
Do not lift or move the scooter by any of its removable parts. Doing so could lead to
personal injury and property damage, including damage to the scooter.
Do not use the scooter to pull any kind of object and never hang excessive weights on
the backrest. Doing so could lead to personal injury and property damage, including
damage to the scooter.
In the event of a collision with a wall, door or other fixed object when operating the
scooter, always make sure all parts of the scooter are undamaged before operating it
again. Failure to do so could lead to personal injury.
Do not let children drive the scooter without supervision. Do not drive the scooter on
public streets or roads. Obey all local pedestrian rules and be aware that vehicle
drivers may have difficulty seeing you.

Do not operate your scooter under the influence of alcohol. Consumption of alcohol
may impair your ability to operate your scooter safely.
Some physical impairments or the use of prescription and nonprescription medication
may limit your ability to operate your scooter safely. Be sure to consult with your
physician about your physical limitations and medications.
2.2 Operation - Slopes
When driving downhill, select the slowest speed and proceed with caution. Driving
down a slope may shift the user’s center of gravity forward. If the scooter rolls faster
than you would like, stop the scooter by releasing the joystick and begin descending
again more slowly.
Avoid sudden stops or starts. Stop by releasing the joystick rather than by turning the
power off. Turning off power while the scooter is in motion will cause the scooter to stop
suddenly.
When driving up a slope, try to keep moving at a steady speed. Stopping and starting
the scooter while moving up a slope makes the scooter more difficult to control.
Do not drive up or down slopes with gradients greater than those set forth in the
technical specifications section of this User’s Manual. There is a risk that the scooter will
not maneuver safely.
Do not drive up or down ramps that are not equipped with proper edge protection
along the sides to prevent the scooter from falling off the ramp.
Do not drive up or down hazardous inclines such as a surfaces covered with snow, ice,
or wet leaves, or a surface that is uneven.
2.3 Operation - Turning
Turning your scooter at high speeds may cause it to topple with personal injury as a
result. The risk of tipping over is increased by high turning speeds, sharp turns, uneven
surfaces, abrupt changes in direction, and driving from an area of low traction (e.g.
lawn) to an area of high traction (e.g. sidewalk). To avoid tipping over, personal injury
and property damage, reduce speed and turn less sharply.
2.4 Driving
The Driving Range stated in the technical specifications of this manual represents the
theoretical driving range, actual driving ranges will vary depending on battery status,
tire selection and driving conditions. Frequent driving on slopes, rough ground or
frequently climbing curbs etc., will also reduce the driving range.

Driving in the dark is only permissible if the scooter is equipped with functioning lighting
at the front and rear, or as per applicable national or local traffic regulations.
2.5 Transfer into or out of the scooter
Make sure the power is turned off before getting into or out of the scooter. When
transferring into or out of the scooter, every precaution must be taken to reduce the
distance between the scooter and the place to which the user is transferring. Too great
a distance may cause the user to overexert him or herself, lose balance or fall. BLIMO
recommends that users transfer in the presence of or with the assistance of an
attendant.
2.6 Transporting the Scooter
The scooter may only be transported in vehicles approved for this purpose. The vehicle
must be suitably designed, insured and equipped to transport a person in a scooter. No
matter how securely it is fastened in the vehicle, a scooter is not designed to be a car
seat and cannot offer the same degree of safety as offered by standard car seats.
Before transportation, check that the scooter is properly secured and that wheels are
locked.
2.7 Environmental Conditions
Protect the scooter from exposure to any type of moisture, including rain, snow, mud or
spray. Exposure to moisture may cause the scooter to short-circuit, catch fire and
cause personal injury or property damage. If it has been exposed to moisture, do not
operate your scooter until it has dried completely.
If any of the shrouds or the panel has cracks or tears, they must be replaced
immediately. Failure to do so may allow moisture to enter the electronics and cause
personal injury or property damage, including fire.
Be extremely careful when operating your scooter during icy or slippery conditions.
Such conditions can lower the performance and safety of your scooter which could
lead to an accident, personal injury and property damage, including damage to the
scooter.
Exercise extreme caution when using oxygen in close proximity to electrical circuits
and other combustible materials. Contact your oxygen supplier for instruction in the
use of oxygen.

6Battery and Charging
How frequently you need to charge the scooter’s batteries will depend on a number
of factors including how you use the scooter, the temperature and the age of the
batteries. All batteries gradually lose capacity as they age.
To achieve the best service life, never let batteries discharge completely. Always
charge the batteries immediately after they have been discharged.
If the battery voltage indicator shows that the batteries lose power faster than normal,
the batteries could be worn out and need to be replaced.
If the power on the scooter is turned ON during the charging process, it must be
switched off again and the charger disconnected before the scooter can be driven.
For long-term battery storage the room should be unheated, but to guard against
battery corrosion, make sure the room is a few degrees warmer than its surroundings,
as this will keep the room drier. The batteries must be fully charged before storage.
Batteries in storage require charging every 2 months.
