2.7.1 Preparing the scooter for use
When you use your scooter for the first time, make sure that it is standing on level ground. All wheels
must be in contact with the ground.
1. For first time use, fully recharge the batteries.
2. Make sure that the motor is engaged.
3. Set the steering column in the most comfortable position for yourself and make sure it has
been secured properly.
4. See that the seat has been locked in the driving position.
5. Sit down on the seat and verify that both armpads are folded down so you can rest your arms
on them.
6. Insert contact key and turn to the right.
7. Check the battery indicator and see that there is enough power for your trip. If not enough
capacity recharge the batteries before departure.
Now put the speed switch on the operator control to the minimum position. Your scooter is now ready
for use. Only use higher speed setting when you are confident that you can easily operate and control
your scooter.
Check the forward/reverse speed lever works correctly and make sure the electromagnetic brake
works correctly.
Before using the scooter in busy or potentially dangerous areas, familiarize yourself with the operation
of your scooter. Please practice in a wide and open area like a park.
In order to avoid accidents with your scooter while driving, please bear in mind driving motions, such
as accelerating, stopping, turning, reversing, up-and down ramps.

Before getting off from your scooter, make sure that all wheels touch the ground simultaneously.
Next turn the key to the "OFF" (charge indicator goes out) to turn off the integrated light.
2.7.3 Parking the scooter
After stopping, turn the main key to OFF and remove the key. The ligths will turn OFF. Once your
scooter has been turned off, no command can be sent to the driving system. You will be unable to
deactivate the electromagnetic brakes before turning on your scooter again. Always park your scooter
on sites that are well guarded or clearly visible.
