SPECIFICATIONS
The Scooter is an environment-friendly
electric vehicle. The Scooter was developed
to extend the mobility of persons with
health-related or age-related restrictions.
The Scooter fulfils the demands of handi-
capped people according to EN 614-1.
The model has been assigned the 'Use Class
C' as per the EN 12184 standard. The Scooter
solely serves to transport one person sitting
in the seat and not as a hauling aid, trans-
porter or similar.
USE
The scooter is driven through the driving
actuator that is integrated into the steer-
ing column.
The general capability of the driver to par-
ticipate in traffic must be given.
Refrain from jerky starts with your Scooter.
– Danger of tipping over or tilting!
Do not use the Scooter without a mount-
ed seat!
Avoid driving on inclinations or slopes
with insufficient surface condition.
The Scooter is applicable on level, firm sur-
faces and can be used as follows:
– Never expose the Scooter to extreme
temperatures and damaging environ-
mental conditions, such as sunlight or
extreme cold.
You must not let yourself be carried in your
wheelchair through the lifting of the wheel-
chair. Parts that are not securely fixed, e.g.
seat, revetment parts, can become loose
and thus cause an accident.
☞The Scooter is an electronic vehicle and
not a carrying device.
Only apply the Scooter within the scope of
the specifications and limitation described
in chapter Technical data on page 41.
ADJUSTMENT
Always have adaptation and adjustment
work carried out by a specialist dealer.
The Scooter offers manifold adjustment
possibilities to individual vital statistics. The
Scooter should be adapted to your needs
by a specialist dealer before the first use.
The adaptation will take into account the
driving experience, the physical limits of
the user and the main place of use of the
Scooter.
☞We recommend a regular control if the
Scooter adjustment in order to ensure a
long-term optimal provision even with
changing illness/handicap patterns of
the user. Especially for children and ju-
veniles an adjustment every 6 months
is recommendable.
REINSTALLMENT
The Scooter is suited for reinstallment. Be-
fore reinstallment the Scooter is to undergo
a complete inspection.
☞Hygienical measures required for rein-
stallment are to be carried out accord-
ing to a validated hygienic plan and
must include disinfection.

HIGH-FREQUENCY
RADIATION
Our electric vehicles are conform with the
corresponding requirements of the EG-di-
rective 93/42 EWG for medical devices. Nev-
ertheless Interferences from high frequency
rays of other electric devices cannot gener-
ally be ruled out.
Despite tested protective measures on the
electrical equipment of the vehicle, distur-
bances in the operation cannot be ruled
out when driving through extreme elec-
tric Interferences. These are manifested in
strange driving behaviour. If the electric ve-
hicle reacts uncontrollably in such a case or
if other electric devices (such as for example
highly sensitive, electromagnetic devices
such as antitheft units in shopping centres)
are influenced by the vehicle, stop imme-
diately and switch the electric vehicle off.
Never drive the electric vehicle in the prox-
imity of electronic medical equipment with
a high danger potential and/or life-support-
ing function or in the proximity of diagnos-
tic equipment.

TIPS FOR ACCIDENT
PREVENTION
Only transfer into or out of the seat when
the Scooter is switched off and the se-
lection lever drive-/push mode is in drive
mode!
– An unintentional motion of the driving
actuator could otherwise let the Scooter
start uncontrolled! – Danger of accident!
First driving practice
☞A low speed is to be selected on the
control panel for first driving practice.
Get accustomed in steps to the driving
behaviour of the Scooter.
☞Carry out a short braking and steering
test at a very low speed immediately
after the start of motion.
Safety information
☞Curves and slopes are to be carried out
at adapted speed. – Danger of over-
turning.
☞There is a danger of tilting when driving
backwards on ramps!
☞The support castors can touch the
ground while driving down, e.g. in front
of the edge of an obstacle which can
cause the drive wheels to lift off the
ground. – The Scooter will the loose its
manoeuvrability!
☞Do not switch off the Scooter whilst it is
in motion. The Scooter will then switch
off and stop immediately.
☞The driving behaviour can change by
adding or removing accessories/com-
ponents.
☞Do not expose the Scooter to extreme
weather.
☞Temperature influence through lamps,
sun and other sources of heat can dam-
age the upholstery and revetment or
heat it up so much, that it can cause
burns when they come in contact with
bare skin.
☞Protect bare as well as heat sensitive
skin accordingly.
☞Mobile phones and other radio com-
munication devices should, for safety
reasons, only be used when the Scooter
is switched off.

prevent it from rolling off unintentionally:
1. Slide the selection lever for drive-/push
mode toward the back into drive mode.
2. Pull out the drive key.
Functional checks
The functions and safety of the Scooter
must be checked before the start of each
journey.
Driving
You determine the speed and driving di-
rection yourself when driving through the
movement of the driving actuator and the
maximum top speed setting of your scoot-
er.
BRAKES
Brake the Scooter down carefully and in
time. This is especially the case when driv-
ing in front of people and while driving
downhill!
Service brake
The motor works electrically as an operat-
ing brake and decelerates the scooter softly
and jerk-free to a standstill.
Braking down the Scooter
For allotted braking of the scooter slowly
guide the driving actuator back to the cen-
tre position (zero-setting).
☞The scooter stops after a shortest dis-
tance after releasing the driving actu-
ator.
Braking distance
In delivery condition the braking distance
is according to the maximum values of EN
12184:
– 1.0 m with 6 km/h.
The braking distance may get longer de-
pending on the road conditions or the con-
dition of the tyres.
Parking brake
The parking brakes are only effective when
the selection lever drive-/push mode is set
to drive mode. They disengage automatical-
ly when the wheelchair starts off.
The parking brakes are manually disen-
gaged by switching the selection lever
drive-/push mode to push mode.

Battery voltage
The battery indicator displays the battery
voltage after the system test performed by
the electronic system after the operating
module has been switched on (4).
With reducing battery voltage the display
needle reaches less towards the right.
Battery gauge
The battery gauge (4) displays the existing
battery voltage as follows:
The colours mean:
Green Batteries charged
☞The charging condition
corresponds to a display
of 0 - 100%.
Yellow Recharging recommended.
Red Recharge batteries immedi-
ately.
☞An accurate battery indication is only
given during travel on a level surface.
☞Uphill/downhill travel falsifies the
indication.
Evaluation
The exactness of the battery gauge de-
pends for example on the temperature, age
and strain on the battery is therefore sub-
ject to certain restrictions.
The kilometric performance (range) of the
Scooter should be tested at least once.

Preselected final speed
Danger of accident due to unsuitable set-
ting of the preselected speed!
Drive especially carefully during the first
journeys!
The speed is defined by motion of the actu-
ator (1) as well as the preselected final speed
through the turning knob (2).
Preselecting the nal speed
When switching on the Scooter the set
speed is preselected.
The final speed is adjusted continuously
through the turning knob (2) (also during
driving).
Increasing clockwise turns of the knob in-
crease the maximum final speed according-
ly from slow (symbol turtle) to fast (symbol
rabbit).
Select a low maximum speed for driving sit-
uations in which you do not feel confident/
safe (e.g. driving in confined spaces, or sim-
ilar).
☞The final speed is to be preselected in
dependence on the personal impres-
sion of the respective driving situation!
☞When driving on ramps, hills or slopes
the speed is to be adjusted to the in-
clination appropriately. Never exceed
the permitted max speed. – Danger of
accident!
