SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & WARNING
!
!
15
We will not be held responsible for injuries and / or property damage resulting from
failure to observe weight limitations. Please also remember when carrying heavy
objects that this will increase your total weight and may make your scooter unstable.
2. Inclines:
More and more modern buildings are designed with disability access in mind.
Ramps have specied 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.
a. 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 curbs.
b. 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.
Warning: Additional of accessories or components to your Scooter can
increase the susceptibility to EMI. Do not modify scooter in any way
not authorized.
1. Safety Check:
We recommend that you perform a safety check before each use to make certain
your scooter operates smoothly and safely.
a. Check all battery connections; make certain they are serviceable and not
corroded.
b. Check front basket is tted correctly.
c. Check batteries have been fully charged.
d. Check operation of brakes.
Warning: 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.

Warning: 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.
6 degrees maximum incline 6 degrees maximum incline

1. Basic Driving:
Make certain you are comfortably seated on your scooter and both armrests are
down. Ensure that the "Speed Adjustment Dial" is turned to minimum for your rst
drive. When you have become more confident you can increase the setting to a
higher speed. Push the right "Thumb Lever Control" 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 handlebars in the direction you wish to maneuver.
2. Incline Control:
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. This moves the center 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 center 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 or
starts.

3. Control Over Stationary Obstacles
Stationery obstacle (steps, curbs etc.) must be avoided where possible. Proceed with
extreme caution when driving near raise surfaces, unprotected ledges and / or drop
offs such as curbs, 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 curbs as you may ground your scooter and damage it’s
construction.

4. Control Over Grass & Gravel ETC.
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 unkempt
grass, loose deep gravel or sand; do not exceed the capabilities of your scooter.
Always have an attendant to assist you in circumstances where you are not certain
of the terrain" Always anticipate and think safety.
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 a rear or forward upset.
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;
(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.
Caution: Because of the power of your scooter, you will be able to
climb inclines. But the maximum safe gradient limit is 6 degrees. The
reason for this is to ensure good stability.
FR510-F
FR168-4S
Always have the anti-tipping wheels fitted to your
Scooter. They are an important part of your scooters
design and reduce the likely hood of backward tipping.
Always avoid where possible turning on slopes or
climbing curbstones. Always make certain that your
scooter is in full working order and your batteries are
fully charged before attempting to drive. Never attempt
to drive beyond the design capability of your scooter.
Observe weather conditions. Tires can slip on wet or icy
surfaces.
Always think 'safety rst'.
