occur on the main speed control system or some other
part of your Scooter's electronic drive system. For
instance if your batteries run low in power, the status light
will flash slowly at one flash a second; this indicates your
batteries need recharging.
If you notice the status light flashing at two flashes per
second, you are being notified that the battery voltage
is too low and you must stop using your Scooter at
the earliest opportunity.

batteries the needle will move towards the red sector
indicating the state of charge at that precise time. When
the needle is fully over to the right (green sector), the
batteries are fully charged. When the needle falls towards
the red sector your batteries are losing power, but you will
still have power to spare. When the needle falls into the
red sector your batteries are low in power and need to be
re-charged, although you will still have approximately
half-an-hours normal flat pavement driving in reserve.
It is not recommended to use this power regularly as it
will shorten battery life. It is wise to re- charge your
batteries when the needle enters the red zone (see
Batteries and Battery Charging section of this manual).

appropriate switch dissection warning light (See Fig 10),
will flash. To cancel the direction indicator return
the switch to the centre position. The left direction
indicators are activated by 'flicking' the switch to the left.
Please note the direction indicators are not
self-canceling. Please be aware to test the
function of your direction light before each journey. Failure
to observe this warning could put you and other road
users into a dangerous situation.
8. Hazard Warning: Positioned to the bottom left o
your console, when pressed this red triangular button
activates all of the amber flashing direction lights to
warn other road users that you are stationary or in
distress. This function should only be used in
emergencies. You will note that both green direction
lights at the top of your console are flashing to warn you
the hazard system is in operation. To cancel the hazard
warning simply press and release the red triangular button.
Located under the handlebar grips. Your speed for
forwards and reverse motion and braking is controlled
here. The right thumb lever moves your Scooter in a
forwards direction (Fig 12) and also controls the rate of

These labels communicate important warnings or
instructions - Please familiarize yourself with their location.
Get to know the feel of your Scooter and it's capabilities.
We recommend that you perform a safety check before
each use to make certain your Scooter operates smoothly
and safely. For details on how to perform these necessary
inspections, see the Care and Maintenance section of
this manual. Perform the following inspection prior to
using your Scooter.
Check tyre inflation, maintain at 30 p.s.i. (210 kpa)
Check all battery connections, make certain they are
serviceable and not corroded.
Check front basket is fitted correctly.
Check batteries have been fully charged.
Check operation of brakes.
It is critical that the pressure in the pneumatic tyres
is maintained at 30 p.s.i. (210 kpa) at all times. Failure to
observe this warning may result in a serious failure of the
tyre or wheel, causing serious personal injury and/or damage
to your Scooter.
Do not carry passengers on your Scooter.
Your Scooter is designed for a single occupant which
complies with legal requirements for pavement vehicles.
Carrying passengers on your Scooter may result in personal
injury and/or property damage.
Your Scooter is designed for a maximum user weight limit of
136kg (300lbs).
Exceeding the weight limit will void your warranty
and may result in personal injury and damage to your
scooter. We will not be held responsible for injuries
and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe
these weight limitations. Please also remember when
carrying heavy objects that this will increase your total
weight and may make your Scooter unstable.
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility
of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of tipping
include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering
angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven surfaces,
inclined surfaces (such as heavily cambered pavements),
riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction
(such as passing from grass areas to a paved area - especially
at high speed while turning), and abrupt directional changes.
Do not corner at high speed! If you feel that you may tip
over in a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle to
prevent your Scooter from tipping.
When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When
using your Scooter at higher speeds, anticipate

prevent your Scooter from tipping.
Warning:
Changes in the road surface. This will greatly reduce the
possibility of a tip or fall. To avoid personal injury or
property damage, always exercise common sense when
cornering.
Your Scooter is equipped with one powerful brake
system:
Electric/Mechanical Disc Park Brake: Located on the end of
your drive motor it activates mechanically after the
regenerative brake slows your Scooter to a near stop, or
when power is removed from the drive system for any reason,
as in the case of switching your machine off!
Brake engagement is far more abrupt at higher speeds. It is
important that you anticipate when the brakes will engage
and that you are braced for the resulting deceleration.
Your Scooter can decelerate very quickly. Do not
decelerate or turn abruptly when traveling at high speed
unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary to decelerate or
turn abruptly when driving at high speed, brace yourself by
gripping the steering handlebar tightly and positioning your
feet firmly on the floorboard. Users who cannot grip the
handlebar tightly and/or place their feet firmly against the
footboard should avoid deceleration from or turning abruptly
at high speed, and therefore should avoid travelling at high
speed. Failure to observe this warning could result in serious
personal injury and property damage. Always brace yourself
firmly when decelerating your Scooter.
Your Scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under
normal driving conditions i.e. dry, level surfaces composed
of concrete or asphalt. However we recognize that
there will be times when you will encounter other surfaces
such as packed soil, grass and gravel. These surfaces may not
be sound and fail to give good traction, caution should be
considered before driving on this tyre of surface to prevent
stability problems resulting in injury or damage to your Scooter.
Reduce your Scooters speed when driving on uneven
terrain or soft surfaces.
Avoid long and unsafe grass that can become tangles in
the running gear or may hide debris and holes.
Avoid snow, this can quickly build up around your wheels.
Avoid loosely packed sand and gravel.
If you feel unsure about a driving surface, please
anticipate and avoid that surface.
Your Scooter has not been designed for operation
on public streets and roads. It is designed for operation on
pedestrian pavements and traffic free shopping areas.
Your Scooter must be driven with due care and compliance
with the Road Traffic Acts and conditions of the Highway

Your authorized Agent, therapist and other healthcare
professionals are responsible for determining your
requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your
Scooter safely.
If you require a positioning belt to safely operate
your Scooter, make certain it is adjusted and fastened
securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from
your Scooter.
Getting on and off your Scooter requires a good sense of
balance. Please observe the following tips when getting on
or off your Scooter:
Make certain your Scooter is switched off at the power
switch, and the power key is removed.
Ensure your Scooter is not in the freewheel mode (see
page 12 Freewheeling your Scooter)
Make certain the seat and handlebars are locked firmly
into position.
The seat armrests can be lifted up to make access easier.
Make certain you do not attempt to drive with the armrests
raised.
Position yourself as far back into the Scooter seat
as possible to prevent tipping and causing injury.

access in mind. Ramps have specified percentage of
inclination, designed for easy and safe access. Some
ramps may have turning switchbacks (180 degree turns)
that require you to have good cornering skills on your
Scooter.
Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the
downgrade of a ramp or other incline, sit right back in
your seat, brace your arms on the handlebars and your
feet on the floorboard
Take a wide arc with your Scooter's front wheel around
tight corners, your rear wheels will follow preventing
you from cutting the corner short and bumping or
getting hung up on raised kerbs.
When descending an incline keep your speed
adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a
safely controlled descent and driving in a forward
direction only. If your Scooter descent is quicker than you
anticipated allow the Scooter to completely stop, then
progress at a slower speed setting.
Never drive down an incline at full speed.
When climbing an incline, try to keep your Scooter
moving, if you must stop, start up again slowly and then
accelerate smoothly with caution. Avoid sudden stop
starts, lean forward towards your handlebars to increase
stability and prevent rearward tipping.
When climbing an incline, do not zig-zag
or drive at an angle up the face of the incline. Drive
your Scooter smoothly up the incline without
stopping, this greatly reduces the possibility of a tip
or fall.
You should not travel over a potentially
hazardous incline i.e. areas covered with ice or snow,
cut grass or wet leaves or any unstable surface.

If you prefer you can swing the armrests back to allow you to
pivot on your seat and then ease yourself onto your feet.
Do not use the handlebars as a crutch to lever
yourself out of your seat. Failure to observe this warning may
damage the handlebar mechanism and make the Scooter
unstable.
If you need to park and leave your Scooter, simply remove
your key. This will keep the brake on and make your Scooter
more difficult to move. It is best to leave it in sight of
someone like a store assistant etc. who can watch it for you.
Another precaution is to you're your serial number and
the date of purchase.
Your serial number can be found on a plate attached to the
front cross member located under the body cover.
Make certain you are comfortably seated on your Scooter
and both armrests are down. Ensure that the 'Speed
Adjustment Dial' (Fig 10, page 10) is turned to minimum for
your first drive. When you have become more confident you
can increase the setting to a higher speed. Push the right
'Thumb Lever Control' (Fig 12, page 11), as described earlier.
You will very gently move forwards. Release the lever, and
you will gently stop. Practice these two basic functions until
you get used to them.
Steering the Scooter is easy and logical by turning the
handle bars in the direction you wish to manoeuvre. Be sure
to remember to give a wide clearance when turning so that
the rear wheels follow the path of the front one, instead of
cutting short.
Cutting short on pavement corners or 'cut outs' can mean
DISMOUNTING
Always switch off your Scooter before dismounting. Locate
the seat lever and pull up (Fig 15). Now you can swing the
seat away, lock it, and ease yourself onto your feet.

that a back wheel will go off the pavement, causing a stability
problem. Avoid this at all times by steering an exaggerated
wide arc around the obstacle.
If you must steer in a tight spot, such as entering a doorway
or when turning around, stop, turn the handlebars to where
you want to go, then apply the power gently. This will make
the Scooter turn sharply. It will still go gently, and with
complete stability. Practice in an open area, until you are
proficient.
Reversing requires attention. Be sure your 'Speed Adjustment
Dial' is turned to minimum before you reverse (Fig 10, page 10).
Push the left thumb reverse control lever (Fig 13, page 11).
Remember, when you reverse you have to steer in the opposite
direction to the way you want to go. Practice is required here,
again use that open space. Please note as a safety requirement
reverse speed is half of forward speed.
Note: If your Scooter is set up for left forward driving the
afore mentioned description is reversed.
REMEMBER: If it is a tight turn, turn your steering column
before applying power. Steer wide of all corners and
obstacles, please move slowly and with care.
Do not turn your 'on-off' power key switch to the
'off' position when your Scooter is in motion, failure to
observe this warning may irreparably damage the main
electronic speed control unit or drive transmission. Always
first slow your Scooter down to a stationery position before
you switch your Scooter off.
When you start using your Scooter you will meet some
obstacles that will require some practice to drive through
smoothly.
Here are some common problems, with tips that will help
you master them quickly. You will soon be in control through
doors and up and down ramps with surprising ease by
following these tips.
Approach an unfamiliar door slowly, sizing it up. Does it
have a knob or push bar? Does it open toward you or away?
Think in terms of using the power of the Scooter to do the
work for you! You need not strain.
Hold the doorknob or bar in one hand and apply power with
the other hand. (Remember that you can drive forwards by
using your left thumb to move the wig-wag lever towards
you.) If the door is self closing, you can go through, allowing
the door to close behind you, if you go quickly enough. If
not, just stop when you're clear of the door and push it
closed.
If the door opens toward you, hold the knob or bar with one
hand and gently let the reverse power do the work. When

where you are not certain of the terrain. Always anticipate
and think safety.
Because of the power of your Scooter, you
will be able to climb inclines. But The maximum safe gradient
limit is 10 degrees. The reason for this is to ensure good
stability. Always have the anti-tipping wheels fitted to your
machine (Fig 18) when climbing angles or obstacles.
Always avoid turning on slopes or climbing kerbs.
Always make certain that your Scooter is in full working order
before attempting to drive. Never attempt to drive beyond
the design capability of your Scooter. Observe
weather conditions. Tyres can slip on wet or icy surfaces.
DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH DEEP WATER OR LEAVE
YOUR SCOOTER EXPOSED TO HEAVY RAIN.
i.e. During or after a thunderstorm.
Do not attempt to turn when negotiating an incline, only turn
when all wheels are fully on or off the incline; failure to
observe this warning could result in the machine becoming
unstable and toppling over.
Always lean forward when ascending an incline and
backwards when descending an incline. This will enable you
to maintain good stability and will eliminate any chance of an
upset.

the door is open wide enough, go ahead quickly, leaving the
hand on the door to keep it free of the Scooter and letting go
as you pass the doorjamb. It is an easy technique. Practice
makes perfect. Remember - your Scooter can do the work
without wearing you out!
Going through doors, with the back wheels: If you're not
moving, your rear wheel is probably caught. Reverse and try
again. Take your time - relax - enjoy yourself.
More and more buildings have ramps for wheelchair access.
Some have a change of direction in the middle, and good
cornering is required.
Make a wide manoeuvre with your front wheel around tight
corners.so that your back wheels follow a wide arc to stay
clear of the corner.
If you stop while facing uphill, the automatic parking brake
will hold you safe. To start again, slowly push the forward
direction lever, the parking brake will release and you will
start to move.
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward, (Fig
16.17). This moves the centre of gravity of your Scooter
towards the front of the Scooter for improved stability.
When going down an incline, keep your speed slow. This will
keep you in a safely controlled descent. It is best to lean
backwards, this moves the centre of gravity of your Scooter
towards the rear of the scooter for improved stability. If you
wish to stop completely, release the control lever, and you
will come to a gentle stop, avoid sudden stop starts.
Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other
specifications presented in this manual.
Stationery obstacles (steps, kerbs etc) must be avoided where
possible. Your Scooter has small wheels and a ground
clearance of 4.0cm. Proceed with extreme caution when
driving near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and/or drop-
offs such as kerbs, porches, stairs etc.
Most new pavements have wheelchair access ramps at
intersections, use these at all times. Plan your route where
possible to avoid poor and uneven surfaces. Do not attempt
to ride up or down kerbs as you may ground your Scooter
and damage it's construction.
Care must be taken when attempting to drive over soft
surfaces such as those found in parks etc. The surface may
look level, but this can be deceiving and hidden dangers may
make your Scooter become unstable or grounded. Avoid
unkept grass, loose deep gravel or sand, do not exceed the
capabilities of your Scooter.
Always have an attendant to assist you in circumstances

PLEASE NOTE: The rear stability of your Scooter is
dependent on a number of factors which you should consider
before attempting to climb an incline or other obstacle: (a)
your height; (b) the height of your seat; (c) your weight and
(d) the angle of the incline you are attempting to climb. All of
these factors can affect the rear stability of your Scooter.
If you are unsure of your capability to climb an obstacle,
then try another route - always think 'safety first'.
