Safety warning and user guidance
Batteries
Always check the batteries are
sufficiently charged before setting
off.
Always ensure that your batteries
are in good condition and that no
leakage has occurred.
Beware, battery fluids are
corrosive and care should be
taken at all times to avoid contact
with it. If it comes into contact with
the skin or clothing, wash
immediately with soap and water.
If it comes into contact with the
eye, immediately flood the eye
with running cold water for at least
10 minutes and seek medical
attention.
Keep batteries upright at all times,
especially when transporting your
Scoota.
Always follow the procedures
for battery charging set out in
Pages 17 - 20.
Always charge your batteries in a
room with good ventilation.
Do not charge your batteries in
outdoor conditions.
Do not expose any part of your
charger, battery or Scoota to direct
heat (i.e. Gas fires or naked
flame).
Tyres
Do not inflate your Scoota tyres
using a powered airline.
Each tyre pressure should be upto
172 Kilopascals (25 P.S.I.).
Emergency Braking
Removal of the ignition key whilst
moving will switch off the power
causing immediate and full
braking. This method of stopping
is not recommended except in an
emergency.
Caution!
Routine use of emergency braking
will cause damage to your Scoota.
Freewheel mechanism
Caution!
Transporting the Scoota along a
slope in freewheel mode can be
dangerous. Take extra care if this
is necessary. Always re-enage the
freewheel device after use.
Never sit on your Scoota whilst in
freewheel since the Scoota will no
longer automatically stop.
