Caution:

Care must be taken when attempting to drive over soft
surfaces such as those found in parks etc. The surface may
look level, but this can be deceiving and hidden dangers may
make your Scooter become unstable or grounded. Avoid
unkept grass, loose deep gravel or sand, do not exceed the
capabilities of your Scooter.

Always have an attendant to assist you in circumstances
where you are not certain of the terrain. Always anticipate
and think safety.

gradient limit is 10 degrees. The reason for this is to ensure
good stability.

Caution:

Freerider

Always have the anti-tipping wheels fitted to your Scooter
(Fig 19) .They are an important part of your Scooters design
and reduce the likely hood of backward tipping.

Always avoid where possible turning on slopes or climbing
kerbs. Always make certain that your Scooter is in full
working order and your batteries are fully charged before
attempting to drive.

Never attempt to drive beyond the design capability of your

Scooter. Observe weather conditions. Tyres

can slip on wet or icy surfaces.

i.e. During or after a thunderstorm.

Do not attempt to turn when negotiating an incline, only turn
when all wheels are fully on or off the incline; failure to
observe this warning could result in the machine becoming
unstable and toppling over.

Always lean forward when ascending an incline and backwards
when descending an incline. This will enable you to maintain
good stability and will eliminate any chance of a rear or forward
upset.

The rear stability of your Scooter is

dependent on a number of factors which you should
consider before attempting to climb an incline or other
obstacle: (a) your height; (b) the height of your seat;
(c) your weight and (d) the angle of the incline you are
attempting to climb. All of these factors can affect the rear
stability of your

Scooter. If you are unsure of your

capability to climb an obstacle, then try another route -
always think 'safety first'.

TRANSPORTING YOUR SCOOTER

Whether it is for a holiday, a day out to visit family or friends,
or a trip to the shop, your scooter can be taken along
too. To enable your Scooter to be transported a suitable
size estate car or 'people carrier' type vehicle will be
necessary. You will require a vehicle with a tail gate height of
74cm(29")and an internal storage space of width 66cm
(26") and length 142cm (56"): please note this will reduce
your passenger carrying capacity.

You will also require a suitable folding ramp to lift your
Scooter into your car. You Freerider Distributor will be
able to advise you of suitable products for this purpose (see
fig 20 ).

Please note in some instances of vehicle access you may need
to remove your Scooter's seat prior to loading your
Scooter (see note No.1,'Seat Lock Lever' on page 7 of this
manual).
