II. SAFETY
INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
Exposure of your Travel Scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If
suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your Travel Scooter proceed to shelter at the
earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry your Travel Scooter before storing, charging, or operating your Travel Scooter.
WARNING! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy/slippery surfaces
can cause personal injury and/or damage to the Travel Scooter and electrical system.
Maintain and store your Travel Scooter in a dry and clean condition.
FREEWHEEL MODE
Your Travel Scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when pushed forward, allows the Travel
Scooter to be pushed. For more information about how to place your Travel Scooter into and out of freewheel
mode, see IV. “Your Travel Scooter.”
WARNING! When your Travel Scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is
disengaged.
Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.
Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.
Stand behind or to the side of the Travel Scooter to engage or disengage freewheel
mode. Never sit on a Travel Scooter to do this.
After you have finished pushing your Travel Scooter, always return it to the drive mode
to lock the brakes.
Failure to heed the above could result in personal injury and/or damage to your Travel
Scooter.
An added feature built into the Travel Scooter is “push-too-fast” protection which safeguards the Travel Scooter
against gaining excessive speed while in freewheel mode.
“Push-too-fast” operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists:
If the key is switched “off” while in freewheel mode, the Travel Scooter’s controller activates regenerative
braking when the Travel Scooter is pushed faster than a maximum threshold which has been preprogrammed.
In this case, the controller is acting as a speed governor.
If the key is switched “on” while in freewheel mode, you will encounter considerable resistance at any
speed. This prevents the Travel Scooter from gaining unwanted momentum should the manual freewheel
lever inadvertently be released while driving the Travel Scooter.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Travel Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.
WARNING! Do not use your Travel Scooter to negotiate steps or escalators. You may cause
injury to yourself and to others and/or damage your Travel Scooter.
DOORS
Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
Drive your Travel Scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your Travel Scooter
gently and slowly rearwards to pull the door open.
