Safety Warnings and Operating Tips
General Safety
Safety is very important with any vehicle, especially a motor driven vehicle. The
following warnings are not conclusive and should be read in conjunction with this
complete manual, which explains operation, function, care and adjustments for your
vehicle.
If you are in any doubt about your ability to drive your vehicle due to a medical
condition or treatment, always consult your doctor before proceeding.
Always ensure your vehicle is switched off and the key removed before mounting,
dismounting or adjusting either the seat or steering column.
Always ensure you are seated comfortably and securely with the armrests down and
that both the seat and steering column are securely locked in their correct positions.
Ensure you have read this manual and familiarised yourself with all the controls
before using your vehicle for the first time.
Before switching your vehicle on, ensure you can reach all controls from a
comfortable seated position and ensure that your rear view mirrors are adjusted
properly.
Before driving your vehicle ensure that the lights are clean and work properly, ensure
your tyres are correctly inflated and undamaged, and that your batteries are charged.
Always reduce speed when turning corners especially when travelling downhill, over
uneven terrain or at high speed.
Never try to mount of dismount a kerb at an angle, always approach straight on and
at a steady speed. Never charge an obstacle at high speed. Wherever possible look
for and use drop kerbs, as these are safer and more comfortable.
Wherever possible always drive straight up or down slopes not across them.
Failure to observe these general safety tips could lead to your vehicle starting
unexpectedly, being uncontrollable or tipping over.

Routine Maintenance and service history
The following table gives an indication as to when routine maintenance checks
should be made.
Bulbs and Fuses
Wheels and tyres
If wheels are removed ensure that the axle shafts are well greased before
replacing wheels. Always use the “Binx” self-locking nuts provided with the scoot-
er. If lost contact your dealer for a new one as the thread is not a standard metric
one. If you remove the rear wheels always ensure you replace the drive keys in
the drive shafts to prevent damage to the drive and ensure the vehicle
operates correctly.
Electronics repair
Never try to open the control box, adjust the electronic controller or fix faults in
either the rear control systems or dashboard, the electronics have a number of
safety critical systems incorporated in them which must not be compromised in
any way. Contact your main dealer for help and assistance.
