Technologies, Inc. representative determine if it is advisable for you to
practice getting on and off your Alanté and operating it in the presence of
an attendant.
BEFORE getting on your Alante´
Check to be certain that the power is turned OFF. See “Operation”

Check to be certain that your Alante´ is not in the freewheel mode. See
the “Operation” section on page 27.

MAXIMUM WEIGHT
Your Alante´ has been rated to a maximum payload (passenger and
anything else being carried on the Alante´) of 300 pounds.
Exceeding the maximum weight rating will void the warranty.
