Scorpius-A
• Do not turn the power on before you get in and sit securely on the seat.
• Be certain that the power is turned off when getting in or getting out. This will eliminate the
possibility of accidentally activating the wigwag controls and causing injury.
• Keep your weight toward the middle of the deck. Putting most or all your weight on the edge of
the deck may cause an unstable condition.
• Do not use hose pipe or splash water directly onto the scooter or store the scooter in a humid
condition such as rain or snow as this may cause damage to the electronics.
• Do not remove safety-related parts such as anti-tippers from the scooter.
• Do not use unauthorized parts such as battery or charger on the scooter.
• Use the accessories supplied from the original dealer only.
• Do not exceed the maximum permissible load of the scooter or it may cause unbalance.
• Please stop operating the scooter and contact your dealer, if you find signs of scooter
malfunction.
• Please pay more attention when driving the scooter. The emergency stop may be activated by,
for example, scooter malfunction, out of power, over-voltage, or EMI interference
Practice Tips:
• If you are new to driving a scooter, it is a good idea to practice in a clear, safe space on a flat level surface
(i.e. park, playground).
• Basic functions to practice: Wigwag accelerate/Wigwag release/Stop/Reverse/Turn/Ramp proceeding.
• Set the speed control to its lowest speed. Slightly increase the speed when you are getting familiar with
the scooter.
• Practice operating your scooter in the presence of an attendant. Remember that only with
practice will you become a competent driver.
• Practice these basic functions until you feel that you have control of your scooter.
