SAFETY INFORMATION EAU10263 1 2 Be a Responsible Owner As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your scooter. Scooters are single-track vehicles. Their safe use and operation are dependent upon the use of proper riding techniques as well as the expertise of the operator. Every operator should know the following requirements before riding this scooter. He or she should: ● Obtain thorough instructions from a competent source on all aspects of scooter operation.
SAFETY INFORMATION ed by road and traffic conditions. Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Make sure that other motorists can see you. The posture of the operator and passenger is important for proper control. The operator should keep both hands on the handlebar and both feet on the operator footrests during operation to maintain control of the scooter.
SAFETY INFORMATION engine exhaust can be drawn into a building through openings such as windows and doors. 1 2 Loading Adding accessories or cargo to your scooter can adversely affect stability and handling if the weight distribution of the scooter is changed. To avoid the possibility of an accident, use extreme caution when adding cargo or accessories to your scooter. Use extra care when riding a scooter that has added cargo or accessories.
SAFETY INFORMATION or others. Installing aftermarket products or having other modifications performed to your vehicle that change any of the vehicle’s design or operation characteristics can put you and others at greater risk of serious injury or death. You are responsible for injuries related to changes in the vehicle. Keep the following guidelines in mind, as well as those provided under “Loading” when mounting accessories.
SAFETY INFORMATION EAU10371 Further safe-riding points ● 1 ● 2 ● ● ● ● ● Be sure to signal clearly when making turns. Braking can be extremely difficult on a wet road. Avoid hard braking, because the scooter could slide. Apply the brakes slowly when stopping on a wet surface. Slow down as you approach a corner or turn. Once you have completed a turn, accelerate slowly. Be careful when passing parked cars. A driver might not see you and open a door in your path.
