Your Luggie scooter is a state-of-the-art device designed to enhance and increase
your mobility. If you have a medical condition, it is recommended for you to practice
driving in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be dened as a
family member or care professional specially trained in assisting the scooter operator
in various daily living activities. When you begin to use your Luggie scooter, you
will probably encounter situations in which you will need some practice. Simply
take your time and you will soon become condent and in control as you maneuver
through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps and over moderate
terrains. Below are some tips, precautions and other safety measures that will help
you become accustomed to the safe operation of your Luggie scooter. Your Luggie
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS

scooter is fitted with a number of safety warning & instruction labels, see page18.
These labels communicate important warnings. Please familiarize yourself with their
locations on your scooter.
SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your Luggie scooter and its 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 Luggie.
Check the contact area of the battery. Make certain they are serviceable and not
corroded.
Check that your battery has been fully charged.
Check your scooter brakes. Ensure the scooter is not in freewheel mode.
Warning : Do not carry passengers on your Luggie. Your scooter is designed
for a single occupant. Carrying passengers on your scooter may result in personal
injury and/or property damage.
WEIGHT CAPACITY
Your Luggie Scooter is design for a maximum user weight limit of 114kg(250
lbs,17.8 stone),Luggie Elite is design for a maximum user weight limit of 145kg(320
lbs,22.8 stone).
Warning : Do not exceed the weight capacity of your scooter. Doing so will
invalidate your warranty and may result in personal injury and/or damage to
your scooter. Luggie will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage
resulting from failure to observe these weight limitations. Please also remember
that carrying heavy objects will increase your total weight and may make your
scooter unstable.
CORNERING
Excessively high cornering speeds may result in 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.
Caution : 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.
Warning : When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your Luggie
at higher speeds, anticipate 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.
14

BRAKING
Your Luggie scooter is equipped with two powerful brake systems:
1. Regenerative: This uses the electricity generated in your Luggie drive motor to
rapidly slow your scooter when the wig-wag lever is returned to the stop position.
2. Electric/Mechanical Disc Brake: This activates mechanically after the regenerative
brake slows your scooter to a near stop, or when power is removed from the drive
system. 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.
Warning : Your Scooter can decelerate very quickly. Do not decelerate or turn
abruptly when travelling at high speed unless absolutely necessary. Always grip
the steering handlebars tightly and position your feet rmly on the oor board of the
scooter. Operators who cannot grip the handlebars tightly and/or place their feet
rmly against the oorboard should avoid traveling at high speed. Failure to observe
this warning could result in serious personal injury and property damage. Always
brace yourself rmly when decelerating your Luggie scooter.
Caution : Never drive down slopes at full speed. Always adjust your speed to the
driving condition and allow for gradual descents on inclines no more than six degrees.
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your Luggie Scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving
conditions i.e. dry, level surfaces composed of concrete or asphalt. 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 these types of surface to prevent stability problems
resulting in injury or damage to you and your scooter. Always reduce your scooters
speed when driving on uneven terrain or soft surfaces by turning the speed control
knob (located on the left side of the top console) away from you while seated (toward
the turtle mode).
Caution : Avoid driving in long and unsafe grass that can become tangles in the
gears of your scooter.
Caution : Avoid snow. This can quickly build up around your wheels.
Caution : Avoid loosely packed sand and gravel. If you feel unsure about a
driving surface, please avoid that surface. Your scooter is a motorized device. Use
your good judgment when traveling to avoid injury and damage to yourself, the
scooter and properties of others.
STREET AND ROADWAY DRIVING
Warning : Your Luggie scooter has not been designed for operation on public
streets and roads such as pavements and traffic free shopping areas.Your Luggie
must be driven with care and compliance with Highway Code. Always obey all local
pedestrian trafc rules. Wait until your path is clear of trafc before proceeding with
extreme caution.
15

Note: Always wear bright or illuminating clothing when driving your scooter. Be
aware that it may be difficult for pedestrians and other motorized vehicles to see
you when you are seated on your scooter. Only drive your scooter on the road when
public pavements or sidewalks are not available (i.e. in the countryside) or when
crossing the roadway from one pavement to another.
INSURANCE
Although it is not a legal requirement for accident insurance coverage (third party),
it is a sensible precaution. Your Luggie Authorized Dealer will be able to give you
details of specialist insurance companies or your own insurance company will be
able to advise you.
WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
Warning : Do not operate your scooter in icy or slippery conditions or on salted
surfaces i.e. roads and pavements. Such use may result in accident, personal injury
or adversely affect the performance and safety of your scooter.
Warning : It is recommended that you do not expose your scooter to any type
moisture at any time i.e. rain, snow or power washer. Such exposure may damage
your scooter. Never drive through deep water or expose your scooter to sea water.
Do not operate your scooter if it has been exposed to heavy moisture until it has
been thoroughly dried out.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION
Currently there are no standards approved for "tie down" systems in a moving vehicle
of any type to transport a person while seated in a scooter.
Warning : Do not sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal
injury may result. Always make certain that your Luggie is properly secured when
being transported. Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or damage to
your Scooter.
ACCESSING 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 Luggie scooter is powered off.
Ensure your Luggie is not in the freewheel mode (page 12), Freewheeling Your
Luggie).
Make certain the seat and handlebars are locked rmly into position.
The armrests can be lifted up to allow easier access. If your armrests are installed,
make certain you do not attempt to drive with the armrests raised.
Warning : Position yourself as far back into the scooter seat as possible to
prevent tipping and injury.

Warning : Do not overload your scooter at the rear when climbing an
incline. Always lean forward to provide the best stability and prevent rearward
tipping.
Warning : Any attempt to climb or descend an incline steeper than shown in the
scooter specication at the rear of this manual may put your scooter in an unstable
position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury. Never remove the anti-
tipping wheels of your scooter. They are an important part of your scooters design.

MODIFICATIONS
Luggie scooter has been designed to provide maximum mobility. A range of
accessories are available from your Authorized Luggie Resellers to further customize
your scooter needs. Under no circumstances should you modify, add, remove or
disable any feature, part or function of your mobility scooter.
Warning : Failure to observe the above warning may result in personal injury
and/or damage to you, your scooter and properties.
INCLINES
More and more modern buildings are designed with disability access in mind.
Ramps have specified percentage of incline 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. Always sit with your back on the
back rest of your seat, brace your hands on the handlebars and position your feet on
the oorboard of your scooter.
Take a wide arc with your Luggie around tight corners. Your rear wheels will follow
preventing you from cutting the corner short and bumping or getting hung up on
raised curbs. When descending an incline, keep your speed adjustment set to the
slowest speed to ensure a safely controlled descent. Always drive down an incline
facing forward only. If your scooter descent is quicker than you anticipated, allow the
scooter to completely stop, then progress at a slower speed setting.
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 stops and starts. Lean forward towards your
handlebars to increase stability and prevent rear tipping when moving up the incline.

and others and damage your scooter.
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRO-MOBILE SCOOTER
In time when your scooter becomes unusable it must be disposed of in accordance
with the laws implemented at that time. For further information regarding the recycling
arrangements for this type of vehicle and its batteries, contact your local authority or
government department.

Warning : If you are not an accomplished outdoors mobility scooter driver, we
strongly recommend that you first practice in an open area, free from traffic and
preferably with an attendant who can assist you. When ready, proceed to power on
the Luggie. The battery indicator gauge needle will move to the amount of charge
left on your battery and the status light on the power switch will illuminate as a solid.
Gently press the right wig wag lever (FIG 11, page 11) to move forward. To stop,
simply release the wig-wag lever to trigger the brakes.
Warning : When powering on the scooter, do not accidently depress the wig-wag
levers on your Luggie. The above action will result in your scooter going into fault
mode. To clear the fault, power off before powering back on.
Warning : If your Luggie has been adapted for left hand user, forward and reverse
operations will be reversed. For instance, when you press the left wig-wag lever the
scooter will move forward and the right wig-wag lever will drive the scooter in reverse.
LEARNING TO GET AROUND TIGHT SPACES
If you must steer in a tight spot, such as through a doorway or when turning around,
stop, turn the handlebars to where you want to go, and then apply the power gently.
This will make the Luggie turn sharply yet move gently, with complete stability.
Practice in an open area, until you are procient. Driving in reverse will require more
attention (FIG 11, page11).
Remember: When driving in reverse, you have to steer in the opposite direction to
the way you want to go. Practice in open space as required. Please note,reverse
speed is set to half the forward speed for your safety.
Remember: If trying to make a tight turn, turn your steering column or tiller before
applying power. Steer wide of all corners and obstacles. Please move slowly with
care.
Warning : Do not power off your scooter while it is in motion. Failure to observe
this warning may irreparably damage the main electronic speed control unit or
transmission. Always power off when your scooter is stationary.
GETTING THROUGH DOORWAYS
When you start using your Luggie, you will meet some obstacles that will require
some practice for smooth driving experience. Here are some common problems, with
tips to help you master them quickly. You will soon be in control through doorways
and travel up and down ramps with surprising ease by following the tips suggested
below.
Approach an unfamiliar doorway slowly. Size it up. Does the door have a knob or
push bar? Does it open toward you or away from you? Think in terms of using the
power of the Luggie to do the work for you! You need not strain. Hold the door knob
or bar in one hand and apply power with the other hand. (Remember that you can
