4.7 Control through tight spots
Your scooter is developed to increase your mobility but you will undoubtedly
encounter some obstacles that will require practice to manoeuvre smoothly and
safely. Below are some common obstacles that you may encounter during the daily
use of your scooter. Below are also driving tips which will help you conquer those
obstacles. Study and follow these tips so that you will be in control of your scooter as
you manoeuvre it through doors, up and down ramps, up and over curbs, through
grass and gravel, and up and down inclines.
Ramps
When driving up a ramp, curb, or incline:
Lean forward to move the centre of gravity of the scooter forwards for
maximum stability and safety.
When a ramp has a turn:
Make sure that the front wheels make a large curve;
This will make sure that the rear wheels follow in a large curve and will be free
of obstacles.
When you will have to stop while driving up a ramp:
While starting up again you should pull the lever gently and steady;
Accelerate slowly after stopping on any incline.
Driving down a ramp
Make sure that the speed setting of your scooter is the slowest speed setting;
When you come to a stop release the lever slowly and carefully.
Curbs
Always use curbs;
Do not go up or down a curb that is higher than 4 cm;
Always use caution when descending a curb;
Approach the curb so that both back wheels of your scooter go over the curb at
the same time;
Never go down on curbs by traversing them. Doing this will cause the scooter to
tip over;
Go down a curb slowly to avoid a jarring bump. Use as little power as possible.
Grass and Gravel
Your scooter performs admirably on grass, gravel and hills but you must follow the
operational parameters presented in this manual, see chapter 3. If you are unsure
about any situation avoid it.
Feel free to use your scooter on lawns or in park areas;
Avoid long or high grass, which may wrap around your scooter's axles;
Avoid loose gravel.

4.8 Going up an incline / down a decline
Driving on inclines
For maximum stability lean forward;
Drive with caution when attempting to drive up to any incline, even handicap
access ramps;
Always climb or descend an incline by driving straight up or straight down
the face of the slope;
Do not traverse or drive across the face of an incline in any direction;
Do not attempt to descend an incline that is covered with snow, ice, cut or
wet grass, leaves, of any other potentially hazardous material;
Do not back down of an incline;
Try to keep your scooter moving when climbing on an incline. If you have
to stop, restart and accelerate slowly and carefully;
Do not try to descend or climb a slope which gradient is higher than
recommended. The recommended incline gradient is 6°.
 Warning:
While you are driving down a slope and your scooter starts to move faster than
you feel is safe release the throttle control lever slowly. Which will cause your
scooter to decelerate. Keep the lever in the same position when you feel that
you are in the control of your scooter again.
Driving down a decline
Lower the speed of your scooter;
When it’s safe to descend drive down the decline.
 Tip
When using either of the following procedures to back down a slope Van Os
Medical UK ltd. strongly advises that you have the assistance of another
person.

down any incline, ramp, curb, or low rise. Backing down any slope may create a very
hazardous situation. If it is necessary to back down a slope follow one of the

 Warning:
When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the park brake is released. The

If you do not feel capable of manually controlling your scooter down the slope
request assistance or do not attempt to use this procedure.
4.9 EMI / RFI
The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has
saturated our environment with electromagnetic (radio) waves that are emitted by
television transmitters, cellular phones, citizen’s band radios (CBs), amateur radios
(ham radios), wireless computer left, microwave transmitters, paging transmitters,
etc. These electromagnetic (EM) waves are invisible and increase in strength the
closer one gets to the source of transmission. When these energy waves act upon
electrical devices and cause them to malfunction or to function in an erratic or
uncontrolled manner, they are referred to as Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) of
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
EMI / RFI and your scooter
All electrically powered vehicles, including scooters are susceptible to
Electromagnetic Interference / Radio Frequency Interference (EMI / RFI). This
interference could result in abnormal, unintended movement of your scooter.

 Warning:
Unintended movement or brake release could cause an accident or injury.
The FDA has determined that each make and model of scooter can resist EMI/ RFI to
a certain level. The higher the lever of resistance, the greater the degree of
protection from EMI/ RFI –measured in volts per meter (V/m). The FDA has also
determined that current technology is capable of providing 20 V/m of resistance to
EMI/ RFI, which would provide useful protection against common sources of
interference. This product has been tested and has passed an immunity lever of 20
V/m.
EMI / RFI recommendations
Do not turn on or use hand-held personal electronic communication devices
such as cellular phones, walkie-talkies, and CB radios while your scooter is
turned on;
Be aware of any nearby transmitters (radio, television, microwave, etc.) on
your intended route and avoid operating your scooter close to any of those
transmitters;
Turn off the power if your scooter is going to be in a stationary position for any
length of time;
Be aware that adding accessories or components or modifying your scooter may
make it more susceptible to EMI/ RFI;
 Warning:
Turn off your scooter as soon as it is safely possible if unintended or
uncontrollable motion occurs or if unintended park brake release occurs.
