Days

Days provides a range of Scooters to best suit the

individual needs and circumstance of the Scooter user.

Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing

decision regarding the model of Scooter to be used is the

responsibility of the Scooter user who is capable of making

such a decision with assistance from his/her healthcare

professional (i.e. medical doctor, physical therapist etc.)

The contents of this Users Instruction Manual are based on

the expectation that the mobility device expert has properly

fitted the Scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing

healthcare professional and/or the authorised

Days

Distributor

in the instruction process for the safe use of the scooter.

There are certain situations, including some medical

conditions, where the Scooter user will need to practice

operating the

bootie

in the presence of a trained attendant.

A trained attendant can be defined as a family member or

care professional specially trained in assisting a Scooter

user in various daily living activities. When you begin to

use your

bootie

, you will probably encounter situations

in which you will need some practice. Simply take your

time and you will soon become confident and in control

as you manoeuvre through doorways, on and off elevators,

up and down ramps and over moderate terrain. Below

are some tips, precautions and other safety measures that

will help you to become accustomed to the safe operation

of your

bootie

. Your

bootie

is fitted with a number of

Warning Instruction" label (see page 14). These labels

communicate important warnings or instructions Please

familiarise yourself with their location.

SAFETY CHECK

Get to know the feel of your

bootie

and it's capabilities.

We recommends that you perform a safety check before

each use to make certain your Scooter operates smoothly

and safely. For details on how to perform these necessary

inspections, see the Care and Maintenance section of this

manual. Perform the following inspection prior to using

your

bootie

Check all battery connections, make certain they are

serviceable and not corroded.

Check front basket is fitted correctly.

Check batteries have been fully charged.

Check operation of brakes.

Warning:

Do not carry passengers on your

bootie

Your Scooter is designed for a single occupant which complies

with legal requirements for pavement vehicles. Carrying

passengers on your Scooter may result in personal injury

and/or property damage.

WEIGHT LIMIT

Your

bootie

is designed for a maximum user weight limit of

114kg (252lbs)(18 stone).

Warning:

Exceeding the weight limit will void your warranty

and may result in personal injury and damage to your scooter.

Days

will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property

damage resulting from failure to observe these weight

limitations. Please also remember when carrying heavy

objects that this will increase your total weight and may make

your Scooter unstable.

CORNERING

Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility

of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of tipping

include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering

angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven surfaces,

inclined surfaces (such as heavily cambered pavements),

riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction

(such as passing from grass areas to a paved area - especially

at high speed while turning), and abrupt directional changes.

Do not corner at high speed! If you feel that you may tip

over in a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle to

prevent your Scooter from tipping.

Warning:

When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When

using your

bootie

at higher speeds, anticipate changes in the

road surface. This will greatly reduce the possibility of a tip or

fall. To avoid personal injury or property damage, always

exercise common sense when cornering.

BRAKING

Your

bootie

is equipped with two powerful

brake systems:

1. Regenerative: Uses the electricity generated in your

drive motor to rapidly slow your Scooter when the thumb

direction lever (wig-wag lever) is returned to the centre

(zero drive) stop position; and

2. Electric/Mechanical Disc Park Brake: Located on the end

of your drive motor it activates mechanically after the

regenerative brake slows your Scooter to a near stop, or

when power is removed from the drive system for any

reason, as in the case of switching your machine off!

Brake engagement is far more abrupt at higher speeds. It is

important that you anticipate when the brakes will engage

and that you are braced for the resulting deceleration.

Warning:

Your Scooter can decelerate very quickly. Do not

decelerate or turn abruptly when travelling at high speed

unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary to decelerate

or turn abruptly when driving at high speed, brace yourself by

Gripping the steering handlebar tightly and positioning your

feet firmly on the floorboard. Users who cannot grip the

handlebar tightly and/or place their feet firmly against the

footboard should avoid deceleration from or turning abruptly

at high speed, and therefore should avoid travelling at high

speed. Failure to observe this warning could result in serious

personal injury and property damage. Always brace yourself

firmly when decelerating your

bootie

Never drive down slopes at full speed, always adjust your

speed to the driving condition and allow for gradual descents

on inclines.

OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES

Your

bootie

is designed to provide optimum stability under

normal driving conditions i.e. dry, level surfaces composed

of concrete or asphalt. However

Days

recognizes that there

will be times when you will encounter other surfaces such as

packed soil, grass and gravel. These surfaces may not be

sound and fail to give
