Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the ROMA Shoprider® Capri scooter.
This scooter incorporates the latest innovative designs. The ROMA Capri can
be used in confined spaces both indoors and out. Direct drive rear transaxles
and electromagnetic brakes give a safe and efficient ride. The scooter can be
easily disassembled without tools and will fit into the boot of most vehicles for
easy transport. The detachable battery pack allows convenient charging
wherever necessary.

Intended Use

The ROMA Capri was carefully designed for indoor or outdoor use in
pedestrian areas by a single individual with limited mobility up to a maximum
weight of 100kg (16st). The acute manoeuvrability prohibits the use by
persons who are severely physically impaired or those who have balance
difficulties. Your assessor / healthcare professional will determine the
suitability of the scooter for each individuals intended use.

Note: Persons with lower body amputations should not use this device
unless evaluated with artificial limbs fitted, as stability may be
compromised due to an irregular centre of gravity.
