Slopes and other obstacles
Warning:
Avoid slopes with a gradient greater than 10˚.
Driving on slopes (forwards or in reverse) is always
dangerous.
You must never free wheel down a slope.
Drive carefully along (pavement) edges. An
uneven surface increases the risk of overturning.
Avoid prolonged driving on inclines <10º. This can
cause excessive wear on the engine and electrical
components.
Attention:
Your centre of gravity moves when you drive up or
down a slope. Please beware.
Turn around carefully on a steep slope as there is a
greater risk of overturning.
Always mount and leave a pavement in a forward,
straight line. Accelerate very gently. It is better to
mount the pavement using a curb cut.
The maximum bump height you can drive over is
10 cm.
Soft, slippery or uneven surfaces increase the risk
of a dangerous situation.
Transporting the mobility scooter without a driver
(see also the chapter 'Transport and storage')
Life-threatening:
When transporting the mobility scooter in a motor
vehicle, always make sure you are seated in a
fixed seat of the motor vehicle. Mobility scooters
may never be used as seating support in a motor
vehicle, even if the mobility scooter is secured with
a taxi restraint system.

Approaching a pavement
Warning:
Make sure that your fingers do not get trapped
when folding down the mobility scooter.
Never carry the mobility scooter by the plastic
parts of the housing.
Attention:
Make sure that the mobility scooter is fully
assembled before use.
Miscellaneous
Warning:
Do not put the mobility scooter in direct sunlight:
the upholstery can become too hot, and cause
burns or irritation to the skin.
Be careful:
Do not allow the mobility scooter to come into
contact with seawater: seawater is corrosive and
will damage the mobility scooter.
Do not allow the mobility scooter to come into
contact with sand: sand may penetrate to the
moving parts of the mobility scooter, causing
faster wear and tear.
Attention:
A number of technical precautions have been made
to further guarantee your safety:
The immobiliser is activated whenever a battery
charger is connected.
The speed in bends is automatically limited.
Free wheeling is limited.
The display warns you if the battery voltage is too low.
The display gives you information for resolving
possible faults.
In the event of an electronic fault, the mobility
scooter make a controlled stop.
