General safety warnings
Safety is important with any vehicle
that is power driven. Below are
some essential tips to safeguard
your use. These are not conclusive
and should be read in conjunction
with the sections which explain how
to adjust, operate and maintain
your vehicle.
Always ensure that your scooter is
switched off before attempting to
mount or dismount.
Do not attempt to operate your
scooter whilst standing next to it.
Always ensure that you are able to
operate all the controls from a
seated position, that the rear view
mirror (if fitted) is set correctly and
that the seat is securely locked into
place.
Attention: Switch on the
scooter lights, (if fitted), to make
yourself visible when there are
low levels of light, day or night.
Do not operate your scooter whilst
under the influence of alcohol or
drugs, or if you are feeling acutely
unwell.
Please observe all relevant rules
and regulations pertaining to
pedestrians at all times.
Turning corners
Always reduce your speed
when turning corners,
particularly when travelling
downhill.
Disregard of this advice could
lead to your scooter tipping
over.
Kerb climbing
Do not attempt to mount or
dismount kerbs.
Always cross the road with caution
taking the safest and most direct
route.
Do not attempt to mount or
dismount footpaths in reverse.
Hill climbing
Where possible always travel up or
down hills or ramps directly facing
the slope of the hill.
This scooter has been tested to
climb an incline of no more than 8°

excess of this.
Always reduce your speed to the
minimum setting and use extreme
caution when reversing down hills.
Do not attempt to drive along with
the wheels at different levels, e.g.
along the footpath and road
simultaneously.
Please note that lap belts must
only be obtained and fitted by
an authorised Sunrise dealer
and used according to the
advice of your healthcare
professional.
