Your Travel Scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. We provide an extensive variety of products to best t the individual needs of the Travel Scooter user. Please be aware that the
nal selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of Travel Scooter to be used is the responsibility of the Travel Scooter user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly tted the Travel Scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the Travel Scooter user will need to practice operating the Travel Scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be de ned as a family member or care professional specially trained in assisting a Travel Scooter user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your Travel Scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and con dent control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
Additional general information can be found on the supplemental information sheets and booklets included in your Owner’s Package. Please fully read and review the information, and keep it readily available for future reference.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed to operating the Travel Scooter safely.
Get to know the feel of your Travel Scooter and its capabilities. We recommend that you perform a safety check before each use to make sure your Travel Scooter operates smoothly and safely.
Perform the following inspections prior to using your Travel Scooter:
Check the condition of the tires. Make sure they are not damaged or excessively worn. Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded. Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly. Check the brakes to ensure they operate properly. Check the battery condition meter to ensure the batteries are fully charged. Ensure the manual freewheel lever is in drive mode before sitting on the Travel Scooter.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Provider for assistance. Please refer to the Contact Information insert in your Owner’s Package.

Although the key can be left in the key switch when the Travel Scooter is powered down, we recommend removing it to prevent unauthorized use of your Travel Scooter.
WARNING! If the key is moved to the “off” position while your Travel Scooter is in motion, the electronic brakes will engage and your Travel Scooter will come to an abrupt stop!
When the key is fully inserted into the key switch and turned clockwise to power up your scooter, this meter indicates approximate battery strength. For further information on the battery condition meter, see III. “Batteries and Charging.”

Whenever you need or want to push your Travel Scooter for short distances, you can put it in freewheel mode.
1. Locate the manual freewheel lever at the top right of the rear section.
2. Push forward on the manual freewheel lever to disable the drive system and the brake system. You may now
push your Travel Scooter.
3. Push the manual freewheel lever rearward to reengage the drive and the brake systems; this takes your Travel
Scooter out of freewheel mode.
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 to the side of the scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on a scooter to do this. After you have nished pushing your Travel Scooter, always return it to the drive mode to lock the brakes.
The motor/transaxle assembly is an electromechanical unit that converts electrical energy from your Travel Scooter’s batteries into the controlled mechanical energy that drives the Travel Scooter’s wheels.
The anti-tip wheels are an integral and important safety feature of your Travel Scooter. They are bolted to the frame at the rear of the Travel Scooter.
PROHIBITED! Do not remove the anti-tip wheels or modify your Travel Scooter in any way that is not authorized by your Provider.
WARNING! The anti-tip wheels may cause interference with the smooth transition of your Travel Scooter when ascending or descending a curb. Contact your authorized Provider for more information.
When the voltage in your Travel Scooter’s batteries becomes low or the Travel Scooter is heavily strained because of excessive loads or steep inclines, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect the motor and electronics from damage. See gure 6.
The main circuit breaker reset button pops out when the breaker trips. When the breaker trips, the entire electrical system of your Travel Scooter shuts down. Allow a minute or two for your Travel Scooter’s electronics to “rest.” Push in the reset button to reset the main circuit breaker. If the main circuit breaker trips frequently, you may need to charge your batteries more often. You may also need to have your authorized Provider perform a load test on your Travel Scooter’s batteries. If the main circuit breaker trips repeatedly, see your authorized Provider for service.
