Operation
These safety considerations and tips will help
you operate the scooter safely. The Scooter is a
powerful electric vehicle, and the following rules
will help you prevent personal injury and damage
to your scooter.
•Make sure that your weight does not exceed
the recommended weight limit of the scooter
(see Technical Specifications).
•Do not carry passengers.
•Always ensure that the power is switched off,
when getting on or off the scooter.
•When getting on and off the scooter, do not step
on the foot rest.
•At all times while driving, keep your feet on the
foot rest.
•Be aware of the environment around you
when choosing a desired speed. For indoor
environments, we recommend that you
select the slowest speed setting. For outdoor
operation select a speed that is comfortable for
you to control it safely.
•Reduce speed when making sharp turns.
•Do not switch off the power when the scooter is
still moving forward. This will bring the scooter
to an extremely abrupt stop.
The scooter is intended to be operated by the occupant and used by
individuals who can walk but suffer from mild mobility limitations.
The user must have sufficient arm and leg strength to get on and
off the scooter alone and the cognitive and visual ability to safely
operate the scooter under all driving conditions.
•Avoid jerky stop/start motions as it will result
in excessive battery drain and increased tire
wear. To break in an emergency, simply release
the forward/reverse lever.
•Make sure the wheel release lever is in driving
mode prior to operation (see Fig. 1).
•In “freewheel” mode the scooter may be moved
manually. If the operator is unable to reach the
control lever, it may be adjusted by an assistant.
•Make sure the forward/reverse lever is in
the proper position according to your
desired direction.
•If the automatic brake fails to work, the user
should immediately turn the key-switch to the
off position.
•In the event of a failure of the electro-magnetic
brake, a manual handbrake with locking snib
(for parking) is provided, situated next to and
below the seat.
•Do not attempt to drive the scooter while it is
charging as operation is inhibited.

Ramps and Curbs (Sidewalks)
•Use extra caution when driving down a slope.
•Never drive across a slope.
•Do not turn sharply on a slope.
•Do not drive in reverse on a slope or on a
bumpy surface.
•When driving over a curb or raised surface,
make sure that the bottom of the scooter
has sufficient clearance (see Technical
Specifications).
•The Mantis scooter requires some momentum
to climb a curb (step). The curb should be
approached from a “run up” distance of
approximately 1 meter (3 ft.).
•No attempt should be made to ascend or
descend a curb of a height greater than 50 mm.
(2 in.)
General Instructions
•Please note that assistance may be needed
for lifting heavy parts when assembling and
disassembling the scooter.
•Do not attempt to lift or move a power scooter
by any of its removable parts. Personal injury
and damage to the power scooter may result.
•Avoid driving in the dark or in times of
limited vision.
•Do not connect any electrical or mechanical
devices to the scooter that are not authorized
by the dealer. Doing so may cause personal
injury or damage to equipment and voids the
manufacturer’s warranty.
•Do not operate your vehicle if it is not
functioning properly. Contact your service
center immediately.
•The Mantis scooter is NOT intended to be used
as a seat in a motor vehicle.
•When exposed to external sources of heat (e.g.
sunlight) surface temperatures of the scooter
can increase. Exercise caution before touching
exposed surfaces.
•Do not perform stretching exercises, wheelies
or other stunts with the scooter.
•Do not use the scooter on an escalator.
•Do not use the scooter during weight training
as the maximum loading may be exceeded
and the stability of the scooter compromised.
•Do not remove under any circumstances the
Anti-tip wheels at the rear of the scooter.
Influence of Medication or Alcohol
•Check with your physician if you are taking
any medication that may affect your ability
to operate your power scooter safely.
•Do not operate your vehicle while you are
under the influence of alcohol, as it impairs
your ability to operate your power scooter in
a safe manner.
•Please read the warning label situated on
the back of the Tiller (see Fig. 2).
