Technical data

The lighting on the scooter must at all times be visible to other road
users.
If possible, wear bright, noticeable clothes. You will then be seen
better by other traffic participants.
Please note that padded parts can become hot in direct sunlight
and lead to skin injury on contact. Therefore, cover these parts or
protect the scooter from direct sunlight.
2.4 Safety in vehicles
Please note that the scooter may not be used as a seating accom-
modation in any vehicle. The user must transfer from the scooter to
a vehicle seat.
The scooter must be secured against slipping by means of belt straps.
2.5 Participation in traffic
The scooter is designed for outdoor use.
Please observe that you participate in public traffic and must com-
ply with road traffic regulations.
Do not endanger other participants through careless driving, par-
ticularly on footpaths
2.6 Purpose
The Ethon scooter is designed for both indoor and outdoor use for
people with impaired mobility.
Thus, it is sufficiently compact and manoeuvrable for indoor use
and also capable of covering medium-sized distances and overcom-
ing small obstacles outdoors. It is classified as category B in accord-
ance with DIN EN 12184. The maximum load is 160kg.
2.7 Indications
Inability to walk or severe walking disability as a result of
• paralysis,
• loss of limbs,
• meromelia/limb deformation,
• joint contractures,
• damage to joints (not on both arms),
• other ailments.
Use of an scooter is indicated, when the use of hand-operated
wheelchairs is no longer possible due to the disability, but proper
operation of an electric motor driven scooter is still possible.
2.2 Advice on EMC disturbances
Despite compliance with all the applicable EMC regulations and
standards, it is possible that the scooter may be disrupted by other
electrical devices (e.g. mobile phones, alarm systems in department
stores) or that it may interrupt such devices. If you observe such
behaviour, switch off either the external device or your scooter and
move the scooter out of reach of the disturbance.
2.3 Braking
In order to be able to brake while being pushed with the drive dis-
engaged, a locking brake is available (Fig. 1). To operate the brake,
the brake lever on the steering column is operated.
Braking the scooter with the drive engaged is carried out by the
automatic brake after releasing the control lever. If the drives are
engaged, the scooter cannot be pushed or moved, as the motors
brake automatically.

Please observe that the scooter may only be pushed
on a horizontal surface by disconnecting the driv-
ing mechanisms. As a result, the electromechanical
brake is put out of operation. Danger to life in case
of non-observance!
