Consumer Safety Guide.
Your Travel 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
Travel Scooter user. Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision
regarding the type of Travel Scooter to be used is the responsibility of the Travel Scooter
user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her health care professional (i.e.,
medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).

There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the Travel Scooter
user will need to practice operating the Travel 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 Travel Scooter user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your Travel 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 as you manoeuvre through doorways, on and off elevators, up
and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
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.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you become
accustomed to operating the Travel Scooter safely.

■TILLER CONSOLE
The tiller console houses all controls needed to drive your Travel Scooter, including the key
switch, throttle control lever, horn button, speed adjustment dial, and the battery gauge.
●Key Switch
Insert the key into the key switch and turn it clockwise to power up (turn on) your Travel
Scooter. Turn the key counter clockwise to power down (turn off) your Travel Scooter.
WARNING! If the key is moved to the “off” position while your Travel
Scooter is in motion, the electronic brakes will engage and your Travel
Scooter will come to an abrupt stop!
● Battery Gauge
When the key is fully inserted into the key switch and turned clockwise to power up your
scooter, this meter indicates approximate battery strength.
The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate strength of your
batteries using a colour code. From left to right on the meter, green indicates fully charged
batteries, yellow a draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate recharge is
necessary.
● Speed Adjustment Dial
This dial allows you to preselect and limit your Travel Scooter’s top speed in the range of
0Km/h～6Km/h.
The image of the tortoise represents the slowest speed setting.
The image of the hare represents the fastest speed setting.
● Light Switch
This switch controls your Travel Scooter’s lighting system.
Toggle the switch forward to turn on the lighting system.
Toggle the switch rearward to turn off the lighting system.
● Throttle Control Lever
This lever allows you to control the forward speed and the reverse speed of your Travel
Scooter up to the maximum speed you pre-set with the speed adjustment dial.
