1.0 SAFETY GUIDELINES
The symbols below are used throughout this owner's manual and on the scooter to identify
warnings and important information. It is very important for you to read them and
understand them completely.
WARNING! Indicates a hazardous situation that could result in serious injury or
death if it is not avoided.
CAUTION! Indicates a hazardous situation that could result in minor or slight
injury if it is not avoided.
IMPORTANT! Indicates a hazardous situation that could result in damage to
property if it is not avoided.
USEFUL TIP! Recommendations and information for ecient, trouble-free use.
Your scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility.
We provide an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the scooter
user. Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of
scooter to be used is the responsibility of the scooter user who is capable of making such a
decision and his/her health care professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has
properly fitted the scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing health care
professional and/or the authorized provider in the instruction process for the use of the
product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the scooter user will
need to practice operating the scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained
attendant can be defined as a family member or care professional specially trained in
assisting a scooter user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your scooter during daily activities you will probably encounter situations
in which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and
confident control when using the scooter.
Additional general information can be found on the supplemental information sheets and
booklets included in your Owner’s Package. Please fully read and review the information and
keep it readily available for future reference.

a safety check before each use to make sure your scooter operates smoothly and safely.
Perform the following inspections prior to using your Travel Scooter:
■ Check the condition of the tyres. Make sure they are not damaged or excessively worn.
■ Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
■ Check the battery condition meter to ensure the batteries are fully charged.
■ Ensure the manual freewheel lever is in drive mode before sitting on the Travel Scooter.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Provider for assistance. Please refer to
the Contact Information insert in your Owner’s Package.

the battery for maximum performance and longevity.
• Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly. Charge the
batteries daily after every discharge even after partly discharge. Depending on the level of
discharge, it can take up to 12 hours until the batteries are fully charged again.
• If the battery indicator has reached the red LED range, charge the batteries for 16 hours
minimum, ignoring the charge complete display!
• Even if the scooter is unused for long period of time, the batteries should have a charge
regularly to make sure that both batteries are fully charged.
• Do not cycle your batteries at a low state of charge without regularly recharging them
fully.
• Do not charge your batteries under extreme temperatures. High temperatures above
30°C are not recommended for charging as well as low temperatures below 10°C.
• Protect your charger from sources of heat such as heaters and direct sunlight. If the
battery charger overheats, charging current will be reduced and the charging process de-
layed.
