Your scooter is designed to increase mobility. You will undoubtedly encounter obstacles. You need to exercise safe and easy to maneuver these obstacles. Below are listed some obstacles that you will encounter while using your scooter against. Also there are driving tips mentioned that will help avoid these obstacles. You study and follow these tips so that you are in complete control of your scooter as you drive through doors, when going up and down curbs, through grass and gravel drives and up and down ramps.

Steering in a tight spot

If you need to send in small spaces such as outputs or flip:

 Bring your scooter to a full stop;  Set speed at the lowest setting;  Turn the tiller to the direction in which you wish to drive.

Steering in reverse

Use extra care when reversing:

 Use your left hand to drive backwards’  Turn the tiller to the left to drive in reverse to the left;  Turn the tiller to the right to drive in reverse to the right.

Curbstones

Be careful with curbs:

 Please use as many times the ramps in the curbs;  Do not go up or down a curb which is greater than one third of the diameter of the wheels in

cm;

 Always use caution when descending any curb;  Approach the curb so that both back wheels of your scooter go over the curb at the same

time;

 Never go down on curbs by traversing them. Doing this will cause the scooter to tip over;  Go down a curb slowly to avoid a jarring bump. Use as little power as possible.

Grass and gravel

Different surfaces require different driving styles:

 Your scooter is performing well on grass, gravel and hills, but you must follow the

instructions described in this manual, see chapter 3. If you are unsure about a situation, you should avoid it.

 Feel free to use your scooter on lawns or in park areas;  Avoid long or high grass, which may wrap around your scooter's axles;  Avoid loose gravel.

4.6. Hillside

Driving on hillsides

 For maximum stability, lean forward in your scooter;  Drive with caution when attempting to drive up to any incline, even handicap access ramps;  Always climb or descend an incline by driving straight up or straight down the face of the

slope;

 Do not traverse or drive across the face of an incline in any direction;  Do not attempt to descend an incline that is covered with snow, ice, cut or wet grass,

leaves, or any other potentially hazardous material;

 Do not back down an incline;  Try to keep your scooter moving when climbing an incline. If you do come to a stop,

restart and accelerate slowly and carefully;

 Do not try to descend or climb a slope whose gradient is greater than recommended.

The

recommended incline is 8

°.

 Manoeuvre your scooter so that the front wheels make a big bend;  By doing this, the rear wheels will follow a wide bend and free of obstructions.

 Warning:

If, while you are driving down a slope, your scooter starts to move faster than you feel is safe, release the throttle control lever and allow your scooter to come to a stop. When you feel that you again have control of your scooter, push the throttle control lever forward and continue safely down the remainder of the slope.

Driving down a hillside

 If you must stop, release the lever slowly and gently;  Lower speed setting;  Whenever it is safely possible, drive forward down any ramp, low rise, or incline.

It is not wise to use your scooter to drive off. Reverse up a slope, curb, driveway or small increase This is very dangerous! If it is really necessary to reverse down a slope, we recommend two options.



Tip:

When one of the two methods used to reverse a ramp to go, Van Os Medical strongly recommend you to use a attendant.

Option 1: Under power

 Set the key switch to the ‘’Off position’’;  Dismount your scooter;  Set the key switch to the “On position”;  While standing next to your scooter, carefully operate the controls at the lowest speed

setting;

 Slowly and carefully back your scooter down the incline;  Carefully remount your scooter and resume normal operation.

Option 2: Emergency (no power)

lever in the engaged position;

 See chapter 7 to restore power.

4.7. EMI / RFI

The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has saturated our environment with electromagnetic (radio) waves that are emitted by television transmitters, cellular

phones, citizen’s band radios (CBs), amateur radios (ham radios), wireless computer links, microwave

transmitters, paging transmitters, etc. These electromagnetic (EM) waves are invisible and increase in strength the closer one gets to the source of transmission. When these energy waves act upon electrical devices and cause them to malfunction or to function in an erratic or uncontrolled manner, they are referred to as Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).

EMI / RFI and your scooter

All electrically powered vehicles, including scooters are susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference / Radio Frequency Interference (EMI / RFI). This interference could result in abnormal, unintended movement of your scooter.

 Warning:

Unintended movement or brake release could cause an accident or injury.

The FDA has determined that each make and model of scooter can resist EMI/ RFI to a certain level. The higher the lever of resistance, the greater the degree of protection from EMI/ RFI – measured in volts per meter (V/m). The FDA has also determined that current technology is capable of providing 20 V/m of resistance to EMI/ RFI, which would provide useful protection against common sources of interference. This product has been tested and has passed an immunity lever of 20 V/m.

EMI / RFI recommendations

 Do not turn on or use hand-held personal electronic communication devices such as a

phones, walkie-talkies, and CB radio’s while driving on your scooter;

 Be aware of any nearby transmitters (radio, television, microwave, etc.) on your intended

route and avoid operating your scooter close to any of those transmitters;

 Turn off the power if your scooter is going to be in a stationary position for any length of

time;

 Be aware that adding accessories or components or modifying your scooter may make it

more susceptible to EMI/ RFI;

 Warning:

Turn off your scooter as soon as it is safely possible if unintended or uncontrollable motion occurs or if unintended park brake release occurs.
