Crossing roads
Your scooter is not capable of mounting
and dismounting kerbs and other
obstacles in excess of 2” (51mm) (Photo
18.1). Always use pedestrian crossings
or drop downs. Be aware that some drop
downs may be entrances to driveways.
Use caution if this is the case.
Remember before crossing the road,
drive forwards and position the scooter
at 90° to the road, stopping about 30
- 60cm (1 - 2 feet) away from the edge of
the footpath (Photo 18.2). Check that it is
clear to cross. Select a medium to high
speed setting and when safe to do so,
drive across without
stopping.
Note: Heavier users will require
higher speed settings.
Note: Low speed settings are
recommended when travelling
down hill, particularly in
reverse. Also, reduce your
speed when turning corners.
The anti-tip devices fitted
to the scooter must not be
removed.
Guidance for Safe Operation and Use
Use of mobile phones
Mobile telephones or two way radio
devices must not be used while operating
the vehicle.
Use of mobile phones or two way
radios can cause excessively strong
electromagnetic fields. This may interfere
with the vehicle’s electronic systems.
If mobile phones or mobile radios are
required to be used, the vehicle must be
brought to a halt and the power turned off
before any such device is used.
Turning corners
Always reduce your speed when
turning corners, particularly when
travelling downhill. Disregard of this
advice could lead to your scooter
tipping over.
