In addition to considering the warnings shown below, be sure you understand all battery
usage information.
REQUIRED! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds. Wear glasses and wash your hands after
touching it.
The scooter batteries are heavy. If you can not lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Use
proper lifting techniques and avoid lifting beyond your capacity.
Always protect the batteries against freezing and never charge a battery if it is too cold or
too hot.
WARNING! Connect the battery cables properly. The RED (+) cable must be connected to
the positive (+) terminal of the battery. The BLACK (-) cable must be connected to the negati-
ve terminal (-) of the battery. Replace the cables immediately if they are damaged. Protective
caps should be installed on all terminals of the battery.
NOTE: If you find that the battery is damaged or cracked, replace it immediately. To dispose
of it, place it in a plastic bag and contact your local waste disposal agency or an authorized
supplier for instructions on how to dispose of and recycle the battery.
TRANSPORTING YOUR SMARTGYRO AVANZA
We recommend that you do not remain seated in your SmartGyro Avanza while being ca-
rried by a motor vehicle. The SmartGyro Avanza should be stored in the trunk of a car or
in the back of a truck or van with the batteries removed and properly secured. In addition,
all removable parts, including the armrests, seat and cover, must be removed and placed
correctly.
WARNING! Do not sit in your SmartGyro Move while in a moving vehicle.

Always make sure that your SmartGyro Avanza and its batteries are properly secured when
transported. The batteries should be secured in the vertical position and the protective caps
should be installed in the terminals of the battery.
Batteries should not be transported with flammable or combustible elements.
TURN OFF THE SMARTGYRO AVANZA
Getting on and off the scooter requires a good sense of balance.
Observe the following safety tips to get on and off your SmartGyro Avanza:
— Remove the switch key.
— Make sure the seat is secure.
Avoid putting all your weight on the SmartGyro Avanza armrests and do not use the armrests
to support weight, as this can cause the SmartGyro Avanza to tip over causing a fall and /
or personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all your weight on the side of your scooter. Such use can cause
the SmartGyro Avanza to lose its balance.
ERGONOMICS IN YOUR SMARTGYRO AVANZA
Avoid stretching or bending while driving your SmartGyro Avanza. Leaning forward creates
the risk of accidental contact with the throttle lever.
Leaning to one side while sitting creates the risk of losing balance. It is important to maintain
a stable center of gravity and prevent the SmartGyro Avanza from tilting. We recommend
that the user determine their personal limitations of balance when using it.
WARNING! Do not bend, tilt or touch objects if you have to pick them up from the Smart-
Gyro Avanza platform or from either side of SmartGyro Avanza. Movements like these can
change your center of gravity and the weight distribution of the SmartGyro Advances and
make your SmartGyro Avanza tilt.
Keep your hands away from the tires when driving. Keep in mind that
loose clothing can get caught between the wheels.
PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS / PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS TO DRIVE YOUR
SMARTGYRO
As a SmartGyro Avanza user, you must take care and common sense when operating your
scooter. This includes knowledge of safety issues when taking prescription or over-the-
counter medications when the user has specific physical limitations.
