PRECAUTIONS DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER

Avoid exposing your Breeze S to inclement weather.

If you are suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your

Breeze S, proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry your Breeze S

before storing, charging, or operating it.

PROHIBITED! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy slippery

surfaces can have an adverse affect on the electrical system. Maintain and store your

Breeze S in dry and clean conditions.

WARNING! Prolonged exposure to extreme hot or cold may affect the temperature of

parts of the Breeze S, possibly resulting in skin irritation. Exercise caution when using your

Breeze S in extremely hot or cold conditions or when exposing your Breeze S to direct

sunlight for prolonged periods of time.

FREEWHEEL MODE

Your Breeze S is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when pushed

forward, allows the Breeze S to be pushed. For more information about how

to place your Breeze S in and out of freewheel mode, see Chapter 4 –

General description of the Breeze S.

WARNING! When your Breeze S is in freewheel mode, the parking system is

disengaged.

 Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.

 Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.

 Stand beside the Breeze S to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never do this

while sitting on the Breeze S.

 After you have finished pushing your Breeze S, always return it to the drive mode to

lock the brakes (pull the manual freewheel lever backward).

 An added feature built into the Breeze S is “push-too-fast” protection, which

safeguards it against gaining excessive speed while in freewheel mode.

Push-too-fast operates in two different modes:

 If the key is in the OFF position while the Breeze S is in freewheel mode, the Breeze

S’s controller activates regenerative braking when it is pushed faster than the pre-

programmed maximum threshold. In this case, the controller is acting as a speed

governor.

 If the key is in the ON position while the Breeze S is in freewheel mode, you will

encounter considerable resistance at any speed. This prevents the Breeze S from

gaining unwanted momentum should the freewheel lever be raised inadvertently while

you are driving the Breeze S.

 When using this lever, be careful not to touch the internal surface of the motor, as it

could be very hot and cause injury. See the warning label at the rear of the scooter

near the lever.

STAIRS AND ESCALATORS

Breeze S scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators.

Always use an elevator.

WARNING! Do not use your Breeze S scooter to negotiate steps or escalators.
