2 Before use

2.1 Intended use

In this paragraph a brief description of the intended use of your scooter is given. Additionally,

relevant warnings are added to the instructions in the other paragraphs. In this way we would like

to make you aware of the possible misuse that may appear.

 This scooter is classified as a class C product and is suitable for outdoor use.

 This scooter is designed and produced solely to transport one (1) person with a maximum

weight of 150kg. It is not designed to transport goods or objects, or for any other use than

the transport previously described.

 You should NOT use this scooter if you suffer from physical or mental impairments that may

put you, or other people, in danger when driving the scooter, such as; visual impairment,

mental disorder, hemiplegics or paraplegics. For this reason, consult your doctor first and

make sure that your specialist dealer is informed about his advice.

 If applicable, only use accessories and spare parts approved by Vermeiren.

 Please read all technical details and limits of your scooter in chapter 6.

 The warranty on this product is based on normal use and maintenance as described in this

manual. Damage to your product caused by improper use or lack of maintenance will cause

the warranty to lapse.

2.2 General safety instructions

Risk of injuries and/or damage

Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Otherwise you may get injured or your

scooter may get damaged.

Keep the following general warnings in mind during use:

 Do not use your scooter if you are under the influence of alcohol, medicines or other

substances that may influence your driving abilities.

 Be aware that some parts of your scooter may get very hot or cold due to ambient

temperature, solar radiation, heating devices or due to the motor drive during the ride. Be

careful when touching. Wear protective clothing if the weather is cold. After a ride, wait until

the scooter/motor has cooled down.

 Before switching the scooter on, be aware of the environment/situation in which you are

located. Adjust your speed to this before driving off. We advise you to use the slowest speed

setting to drive indoors. For outdoor driving you can adjust the speed to a suitable speed at

which you feel comfortable and safe.

 ALWAYS keep in mind that your scooter may stop suddenly due to a discharged battery or a

protection that prevents your scooter from further damage. Also check the causes mentioned

in chapter 6.

 Your scooter has been tested for electromagnetic compatibility and complies with the

standard. Nevertheless, sources of electromagnetic fields, such as the fields of mobile

phones, power generators or high-power energy sources, may influence the driving

performance of your scooter. On the other hand, the electronics of your scooter may affect

other electronic appliances as well, such as alarm systems of shops and automatic doors.

We therefore advise you to check your scooter regularly for damage and wear, since these

may enlarge the interference (see also chapter 4).

 Only drive on flat surfaces where all four wheels touch the ground and where there is sufficient

contact to operate the scooter safely.

 Make sure that your hands, clothes, belts, buckles or jewellery don’t get caught by wheels or

other moving parts during use.

3 Using your scooter

Risk of injuries

 First read previous chapters and inform yourself about the intended use. Do NOT use your

scooter unless you have read and fully understood all instructions.

 In case of doubts or questions, do not hesitate to contact your local specialist dealer, your care

provider or technical adviser to help you with this.

3.1 First ride

Risk of injuries and damage

 Make sure that your scooter is switched OFF when getting on and off.



Always unplug the battery charger from the scooter before starting to drive.

Make sure you are familiar with the operation of your scooter before using it on crowded and

possibly dangerous places. First exercise at a specious, open area with little bystanders and

ask someone to accompany you.

1. Make sure that:

 the scooter is on a flat surface with all wheels touching the ground;

 the battery is fully charged , see § 3.7;

 the motor is coupled, see § 3.4;

 the tyres have the correct tyre pressure, see § 6;

 you have the correct sitting position;

5. Slightly pull the right operating lever to drive to the front. Use the left operating lever to drive

backwards. Release the lever to stop. Repeat this a few times.

6. If you feel confident enough, repeat this at a higher speed.

7. Now try to turn, in forward and backward direction. Repeat this a few times.

8. Make sure your scooter stands stable when ending the ride.

9. Switch off the scooter and remove the key to protect against theft.

3.2 Operating your scooter

Risk of injuries or damage

 Take the weather conditions into consideration. Avoid driving by moist weather, extreme heat,

snow, black ice, freezing temperatures; see technical specifications in chapter 6.

 To prevent tipping over, try to drive with a large turning radius at corners and curves. Do not

cut corners and don’t drive with sharp bends. Try to drive straight in small passages to prevent

getting entrapped.

 Do not lean too far to the left/right/front/back of the scooter to prevent tipping over. Please

pay specially attention when you are negotiating slopes and obstacles.

 Be aware of other road users to whom your scooter may be an obstacle. Pay special attention

when turning, reversing or driving backward. If you are not acquainted with driving backwards,

first practice in an open area. Indicate the direction you intent to go before cornering.

3.2.7 Driving around corners and in bends

Risk of tipping injuries

 Reduce your speed before you enter a curve or corner.

 Always maintain an adequate distance from corners and obstacles.

 Do not drive your vehicle in an "S" pattern or make erratic turnings.

For corners and bends, use both hands to turn the handle bar in the direction you wish to take.

It is very important that you ensure that there is enough space allowing you to go around bends

and corners. Narrow passages must preferably be approached in a large curve so as to allow you

to enter the narrowest part as straight from the front as possible. Bear in mind that your scooter’s

back part will in most cases be wider than the front part.

3.2.8 Backward movement

The speed of rearward movement is automatically reduced in comparison with forward driving.

We also recommend that you use the slowest speed setting when you drive backward.

Do not forget that the steering direction with rearward driving is the opposite of when you go

forward, and that your scooter will turn directly in the required direction.

The horn will beep while driving the scooter backwards.

3.2.9 Taking slopes

Risk of injuries and/or damage

 Never put your scooter in free-wheel mode on a slope. The scooter may start moving, causing

injuries to you or bystanders.

 Do not turn when driving down a slope, since the weight of the scooter may cause tipping over.

 Make sure all four wheel touch the ground while driving up or down.

Driving up

 Drive in a straight line and with higher speed on a slope, and lean slightly forward. When

you drive in an angle or too slow, there is a risk of tipping over or falling.

 Never reverse on a slope.

Going downhill

 Drive in a straight line (forward or backward) and with lower speed on a slope. When you

drive in an angle or too fast, there is a risk of tipping over or falling.

 Lean slightly backward during a forward descent; lean slightly forward during a backward

descent.

3.2.10 Coping with obstacles

Risk of injuries by unexpected movement

 Do not use your scooter on an escalator.

 Always approach a kerb from the front.

 Make sure that all wheels make contact to the ground when driving up or down.

It is possible to drive with your scooter over steps of 100 mm maximum. Take a 500 mm run-up

to take these step.

charge slowly. The battery may be irreversibly damaged if the battery is fully discharged.

Therefore, make sure that the battery is charged on time:

o With intensive use (long distances, daily use): Immediately recharge after use.

o With

average use (short distances, daily or a few times a week): Charge when battery

indicator shows 50% discharge.

o With little use or storage: Charge once a week.

3.8 Thermal fuses

To protect the motor against overload, your scooter

has a thermal safety mechanism on the rear. The

thermal fuse will automatically cut off the motor to

prevent overheating and thus rapid wear and tear

or breakdowns. You can access the thermal safety

device through a gap in the back of the synthetic

cover.

The thermal safety device can be activated if you

go up or down slopes that exceed the maximum

specified gradient. Nominal loads that exceed the

permitted maximum could also cause the device to

jump out. Likewise, if you keep on driving with the

engine brake on, it could result in overload. The maximum values not to exceed are indicated in

§6.

To be able to use the scooter again, remove the overload and wait until the motor has cooled

down. Then gently press the thermal safety mechanism back in. Your scooter is now ready for

use again.

3.9 Anti-tipping

An anti-tipping (1) is fixed to the frame of the scooter

on the rear side. It is not possible to remove these.

The anti-tipping is there for your safety. It prevents

the scooter from tipping over backward when you

drive over small obstacles that do NOT exceed the

maximum height as specified in §6.
