MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION

Currently there are no standards approved for "tie down"

systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a person

while seated in a Scooter.

Although your Scooter may be equipped with a positioning

belt *, this is not designed to provide proper restraint during

motor vehicle movements.

Anyone travelling in a motor vehicle should be properly

secured in the motor vehicle seat with a safety belt fastened

securely.

sit on your Scooter while it is in a moving

vehicle. Personal injury may result. Warning: Always make

for a positioning belt in order to operate your Scooter safely.

Warning:

If you require a positioning belt to safely operate

your Scooter, make certain it is adjusted and fastened

securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from

your Scooter.

ACCESSING YOUR SCOOTER

Getting on and off your Scooter requires a good sense of

balance. Please observe the following tips when getting on or

off your Scooter:

Make certain your

bootie

is switched off at the power

switch, and the power key is removed.

Ensure your

is not in the freewheel mode

(see page 10 - Freewheeling your

)

Make certain the seat and handlebars are locked firmly

into position.

The seat armrests can be lifted up to make access easier.

Make certain you do not attempt to drive with the

armrests raised.

Warning:

Position yourself as far back into the Scooter seat

as possible to prevent tipping and causing injury.

Warning:

Avoid using the armrests for weight bearing

purposes, such use may cause the Scooter to tip and cause

personal injury and/or damage to the Scooter.

MODIFICATIONS

Days

has designed your

bootie

to provide maximum mobility.

A range of accessories are available from Authorised

Days

Agents, to further customise your Scooter needs. However,

under no circumstances should you modify, add, remove or

disable any feature, part or function of your machine.

Warning:

Failure to observe this warning may result in

personal injury and/or damage to your Scooter.

INCLINES

More and more modern buildings are designed with disability

access in mind. Ramps have specified percentage of

inclination, designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps

may have turning switchbacks (180 degree turns) that require

you to have good cornering skills on your Scooter.

Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the

downgrade of a ramp or other incline, sit right back in

your seat, brace your arms on the handlebars and your

feet on the floorboard

Take a wide arc with your

bootie's

front wheel around tight

corners, your rear wheels will follow preventing you from

cutting the corner short and bumping or getting hung up

on raised kerbs.

When descending an incline keep your speed adjustment

set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a safely

controlled descent and driving in a forward direction

only. If your Scooter descent is quicker than you

anticipated allow the Scooter to completely stop, then

progress at a slower speed setting.

Warning: Never drive down an incline at full speed.

When climbing an incline, try to keep your Scooter

moving, if you must stop, start up again slowly and then

accelerate smoothly with caution. Avoid sudden stop

starts, lean forward towards your handlebars to increase

stability and prevent rearward tipping.

Warning :

When climbing an incline, do not zig-zag or drive at

an angle up the face of the incline. Drive your Scooter

smoothly up the incline without stopping, this greatly reduces

the possibility of a tip or fall.

Warning :

You should not travel over a potentially hazardous

incline i.e. areas covered with ice or snow, cut grass or wet

leaves or any unstable surface.

Warning :

Do not overload your Scooter at the rear when

climbing an incline. Always lean forward to provide the best

stability and prevent rearward tipping.

Warning:

Any attempt to climb or descend an incline steeper

than shown in the Scooter Specification at the rear of this

manual may put your Scooter in an unstable position and

cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.

Never remove the anti-tip wheels of your Scooter, they are

an important part of your Scooters design. See also Control

on an Incline page 16.

8 degress maximum incline

6 degress maximum incline

STAIRS AND ESCALATORS

Warning:

Scooters are not designed to travel up or down

stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator. Failure to

observe this warning may result in injury to yourself and

others and damage your Scooter.

PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT

Warning:

If you anticipate being seated in a stationary

position for an extended period of time turn off the power

key switch, this will prevent unexpected motion due to

inadvertent movement of the direction control (wig-wag)

lever. Failure to observe this warning may result in personal

injury.
