3. Safety
The EasyTravel Lite is intended to be operated by the occupant and
used by individuals who are able to walk but suffer from mild mobility limitations. The user must have sufficient arm and leg strength to get on and off the scooter alone and the cognitive and visual ability to
safely operate the scooter under all driving conditions. The occupant’s
weight should not exceed 115 kg. (250 lb.).
The EasyTravel Lite is intended for indoor and restricted outdoor use
on pavements or paved footpaths only during daylight hours. It does not have lights nor reflectors and therefore must not be used in the dark or in limited visibility conditions.
Operation
These safety considerations and tips will help you operate the scooter safely. The Scooter is a powerful electric vehicle, and the following rules will help you prevent personal injury and damage to your scooter.
Make sure that your weight does not exceed the recommended weight
limit of the scooter (see Technical Specifications). Do not carry passengers. Always ensure that the power is switched off, when getting on or off of
the scooter. When getting on and off the scooter, do not step on the foot rest. At all times while driving, keep your feet on the foot rest. Be aware of the environment around you when choosing a desired
speed. For indoor environments, we recommend that you select the
slowest speed setting. For outdoor operation select a speed that is
comfortable for you to control the scooter safely. Reduce speed when making sharp turns. Do not switch off the power when the scooter is still moving forward.
This will bring the scooter to an extremely abrupt stop.
Avoid jerky stop/start motions as it will result in excessive battery drain
and increased tire wear. To brake in an emergency, simply release the
throttle control lever. Make sure the brake release lever is in driving mode prior to operation
(see Figure 1).
In “Freewheel” mode the scooter may be moved manually. If the
operator is unable to reach the control lever, it may be adjusted by an assistant. See also “Moving the Scooter” on Page 22.
Make sure that the throttle control lever is in the centered
position before switching the scooter on.
WARNING!- Do not attempt to move the “Brake Release Lever”
to the “Freewheel” mode when the scooter is standing on a
slope as the brake (EMB) is disabled and there is a risk of accident. (Figure 1)
If the automatic brake fails to work, the user should immediately
turn the key-switch to the off position.
Do not attempt to drive the scooter while it is charging as operation
is inhibited.
Figure 1
Ramps and Curbs (Sidewalks)
 Use extra caution when driving down a slope.  Never drive across a slope.  DO NOT turn sharply on a slope.  DO NOT drive in reverse on a slope or on a bumpy surface.  When driving over a curb or raised surface, make sure that the bottom
of the scooter has sufficient clearance (see Technical Specifications).
The EasyTravel Lite scooter requires some momentum to climb a
curb (step). The curb should be approached from a "run up" distance
of approximately 1 meter (3 ft.).
No attempt should be made to ascend or descend a curb of a height
greater than 15 mm. (5/8 in.)
General Instructions
DO NOT attempt to lift or move a power scooter by any of its
removable parts. Personal injury and damage to the power scooter
may result.
DO NOT drive the scooter on a major roadway. The EasyTravel Lite does not have lights and reflectors and therefore
must not be used in the dark or in limited visibility conditions
DO NOT connect any electrical or mechanical devices to the scooter.
Doing so may cause personal injury or damage to equipment, and
voids the manufacturers warranty.
DO NOT operate your vehicle if it is not functioning properly. Contact
your service center immediately.
The EasyTravel Lite scooter is NOT intended to be used as a seat in
a motor vehicle.
When exposed to external sources of heat (e.g. sunlight) surface
temperatures of the scooter can increase. Exercise caution before
touching exposed surfaces.
DO NOT perform stretching exercises, wheelies or other stunts with
the scooter.
DO NOT drive the scooter on a roadway. DO NOT use the scooter on an escalator. DO NOT use the scooter during weight training as the maximum
loading may be exceeded and the stability of the scooter
compromised.
Influence of Medication or Alcohol
Check with your physician if you are taking any medication that may
affect your ability to operate your power scooter safely.
DO NOT operate your vehicle while you are under the influence of
alcohol, as it impairs your ability to operate your power scooter in a
safe manner.
Warning Labels
Please read the warning labels situated on the front of the Tiller, behind
the Battery (see Figure 2) and on the Controller Cover (Figure 3)
