Rental Guidelines

operating the vehicle. If you are unfamiliar with operating the scooter in crowded
areas such as a convention or a tradeshow, please take some added time to practice
the safe operation of the vehicle. Here are some further points to consider:
• Always
use added caution when driving in a crowded area.
• Equipment must not be used in wet or muddy areas.
• Equipment must not be driven on sharp inclines or declines.
