• Some physical impairments or the use of prescription and nonprescription medication may limit your ability to operate your scooter safely. Be sure t o consult with your physician about your physical limitations and medications.

Operation – Slopes

• When driving downhill, select the slowest speed and proceed with caution. Driving down a slope may shift the user’s center of gravity forward. If the scooter rolls faster than you would like, stop the scooter by releasing the joystick and begin descending again more slowly.
• Avoid sudden stops or starts. Stop by releasing the joystick rather than by turning the power off. Turning off power whi le the scooter is in motion wi ll cause the scooter to stop suddenly.
• When driving up a slope, try to keep moving at a steady speed. Stopping and starting the scooter while moving up a slope makes the scooter more difficult to control.
• Do not drive up or down slo pes with gradients greater than those set forth in the technical specifications section of th is User s Manual. There is a ri sk that the scooter will not maneuver safely.
• Do not drive up or down ramps that are not equipped with proper edge protection along the sides to prevent the scooter from falling off the ramp.
• Do not drive up or down hazardo us inclines such as a surfaces covered with snow, ice, or wet leaves, or a surface that is uneven.

Operation – Turning

• Turning your scooter at high speeds may cause it to topple with personal injury as a result. The risk of tipping over is increased by high turning speeds, sharp turns, uneven surfaces, abrupt changes in direction, and driving from an area of low traction (e.g. lawn) to an area of high traction (e.g. sidewalk). To avoid tipping over, personal injury and property damage, reduc e speed and turn less sharply.

Driving

• The Driving Range stated in the technical specifications of this manual represents the theoretical driving range actual driving ranges will vary depending on battery status, tire selection and driving conditions. Frequent driving on slopes, rough ground or frequently climbing curbs etc., will also reduce the driving range.
• Driving in the dark is only permissible if the scooter is equipped with functioning lighting at the front and rear, or as per appl icable national or local traffic regulations.

Transfer into or out of the scooter

• Make sure the power is turned of f before getting into or out of the scooter. When transferring into or out of the scooter, every precaution must be taken to reduce the distance between the scooter and the place to whic h the user is transferring. Too great a distance may cause the user to overexert him or herself, lose balance or fall. BLIMO recommends that users transfer in the presence of or with the assistance of a n attendant.

Trans porting the S cooter

The scooter may only be transported in vehicles approved for this purpose. The vehicle must be suitably designed, insured and equipped to transport a person in a scooter. No matter how securely it is fastened in the vehicle, a scooter is not designed to be a car seat and cannot offer the same degree of safety as offered by standard car seats.
Before transportation, check that the scooter is properly secured and that wheels are locked.

Environmental

Conditions

• Protect the scooter from exposure to any type of moisture, including rain, snow, mud or spray.
