together with some minor adjustments are detailed on the following pages, under "Operating
your scooter". A full technical specication for your scooter can be found at the rear of this
manual.
A great deal of thought has gone into the design of your four wheeled vehicle which will
allow you to negotiate obstacles found in conned shopping areas. Also, the four wheels will
give you added stability on uneven surface. This is just one of the features you will nd on

Others are:
COMFORT - The contoured seat giving you day-long comfort. A fully proportional speed-
controller with a speed restriction facility allows you a smooth, safe jerk-free ride.
Caution: DO NOT switch "off" the on/off power key when you are moving; this will
automatically apply the motor parking brake suddenly and could place you in a dangerous
situation. Your scooter is tted with anti-tipping wheels. DO NOT remove these anti-tipping
wheels, they are an important part of the scooter design provided specically for your safety.
