GETTING TO KNOW YOUR bootie

Unpackage your

bootie

Your

bootie

is delivered in a strong tri-wallcarton. When

unpacking the carton, first remove all of the sharp metal staples

which are located in the top. Carefully dispose of the staples

to avoid injury. Remove all packing materials, avoid using

sharp instruments as this may damage the Scooter. Carefully

remove the Scooter from the carton; to minimise damage to

the Scooter and the operator, two people should be used for

this operation.

Safely dispose of all packaging materials, your local waste

disposal authority can advise you on this procedure.

Your

bootie

is delivered fully assembled, fitting the battery

pack and the seat assembly together with some minor

adjustments are detailed on the following pages, under

'Operating your

bootie

'. A full technical specification for

your

bootie

can be found at the rear of this manual.

A great deal of thought and consultation has gone into the

design of your state-of-the-art, life-changing Scooter. Your

bootie

will help to increase your mobility and therefore give

you more time and energy to enjoy life.

The

bootie

is a small sized, three wheeled/ four wheeled

vehicle which will allow you to negotiate obstacles found in

confined shopping areas. This is just one of the features you

will find on your

bootie

Others are:

COMFORT -

The contoured seat helps cushion you from

the vibrations of a journey, giving you maximum comfort. A

fully proportional speed-controller with a speed restriction

facility allows you a smooth jerk-free ride. Automatic braking

system gives you that added peace of mind.

VERSATILITY -

The removable fold down seat, together

with a facility to fully lower the steering handlebar, allows

your

bootie

to be easily transported in an average

saloon or hatchback car for those days when you travel

further afield.

SERVICE

Your

bootie

has been designed to be service

friendly. Sealed batteries which are virtually maintenance-free

will give your

bootie

the power it requires. Should you need

to take your battery pack on an aircraft, then you can have

peace of mind because the batteries are totally spill-free.

(Please consult your carrier for details).

SAFETY -

The advanced speed controller has been designed

with extensive self-checking circuits to give you the maximum

'state-of-the-art' safety technology. Fully automatic braking

system gives the driver confidence in any environment.

The on/off key can be removed for added security and safety,

this disables the electronic drive circuitry, and your

bootie

cannot therefore be easily driven away by any other person.

CAUTION -

Do not switch 'off' the on/off power key when

you are moving; this will automatically apply the motor

parking brake suddenly and could place you in a dangerous

situation. Your

bootie

is fitted with anti-tipping wheels. Do

not remove these anti-tipping wheels, they are an important

part of the

bootie

design provided specifically for your safety.

They help protect against backwards tipping on excessively

sharp inclines.

CHARGING -

Your

bootie

is fitted with a battery level

indicator. Charging is straight forward. Your charger is fully

automatic and will reduce to a top-up charge mode when

the re-charge cycle is complete. (See Batteries and Battery

Charging section of this manual).

OPERATING YOUR bootie

Before setting out on your

bootie

you need to make sure that

your seat is in the correct driving position.

Your

Days

distributor will set the seat to the correct

height for your individual needs (note: see warnings on

page 7)

The seat has four basic adjustments to assist your comfort.

Seat Lock Lever:

(Fig 1). This allows the seat to swivel

through 360 and lock in a convenient position. The

locking lever is located under the left side of the seat. NB:

It can be re-located on the right side for your

convenience. Pull up fully to release the seat allowing

rotation. Release lever to lock the seat into the desired

position.

Warning:

When driving, the seat should be locked in the

straight ahead position.

Warning:

The seat base has a series of threaded holes for

universal mounting, on no account must your

bootie

seat

be relocated from the original factory setting.

Failure to observe this warning will put you into an

unstable and dangerous situation which could cause you

harm.

Armrest Width Adjustment:

On each side at the rear of

the seat you will find a large black knob (Fig 2). By simply

loosening this knob you are able to slide the armrests in

or out to whatever width you desire. Re-tighten the knobs

fully. You may need a friend to assist you with this initial

setting up operation. This may extend the width of your

Scooter.

Caution: The backrest of your seat will not fully fold

forwards if the armrests are positioned too closely

towards one another.

Warning:

Do not drive your

bootie

with the arms removed

or in the raised position.

Armrest Angle Adjustment:

(Fig 3). The armrest angle

can be adjusted individually to suit your needs. To make

adjustments to the armrest angle you will need two13mm

spanners (not provided). Lift the arm upwards, you will

note the adjusting bolt. First loosen the locking nut,

rotate the bolt in or out until the required angle is found,

lower the arm and check the angle for comfort; re-adjust

as necessary. Finally tighten the locking nut.

Warning:

When lowering the arm make certain clothing or

fingers are not positioned under it.

BOOTIE

SEAT:

(Fig 4).

The seat as fitted to your

bootie

, has a fold down backrest.

The seat has four height positions. Your Days dealer will

position the seat to allow you the most comfortable driving

position.

: You may need to alter the seat

height setting at a later date, please follow these

instructions.
