Evolut ion Sa fa ri Sc oot e rs STARTING TO DRIVE YOUR SCOOTER First Time Use Prior to using your Safari Lite 4000 Portable scooter for the first time, you must charge the batteries fully (refer to Battery Charging Procedures). Charging may take up to 12 hours. Charging the batteries completely prior to first time use will benefit battery efficiency. Failure to do so may cause permanent battery damage. Getting Started Select a level area with plenty of space.
Evolut ion Sa fa ri Sc oot e rs EXTRA GUIDELINES IN THE CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER Ramps The stability of your scooter is governed by several factors such as the seating position, the angle of the slope and your height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so directly and not at an angle and where ever possible avoid making turns. When going down a ramp or slope keep the speed settings to slow. This will ensure there is a safe controlled descent.
