Steering the Ultra Light is easy and logical. Just be sure to remember to give a
clearance when turning so that the rear wheels clear any obstacles.
When turning always turn your Ultra Light to a LOW speed.
If it is a tight turn (entering a doorway or going around a blind corner) STOP your
ultralight. Turn your steering column in the direction you wish to proceed whilst still
in the stationary position. Then apply the power gently to move forward The Ultra
Light will move gently and with complete stability.
REVERSING requires your attention
Always turn your Speed dial to SLOW before reversing.

you want to go. Always take your time.
The Ultra Light scooters are not designed for use in loose gravel, sand or soft grass.
Your scooter is also not designed to be used in wet weather or rain.
Ramps
The stability of your scooter is governed by several factors such as the seating
position of the occupant, the angle of the slope, your height and weight. When
approaching an incline, do so directly, avoid driving up on an angle. Where ever
possible avoid making turns on any incline or decline. When going down a slope set
the speed setting to SLOW, this will ensure there is a safe controlled decent. When
the thumb levers are released the scooter will slow to a stop.
Do not turn off the control key whilst the unit is in motion.
Please follow all the guidelines and your scooter will perform admirably over many
surfaces.

Doors
Always ensure your speed is set at the SLOWEST setting.
Think in terms of using the power of the Ultra Light to do the work for you. For
doors that open outward, hold the door knob with your right hand and reverse the
Ultra Light as described earlier. Where the door opens inwards hold the door knob
with your left hand and pull your accelerator lever with your RIGHT hand.
