In recent years, a number of news outlets have reported an increase in fires caused by overheated batteries or faults within mobility scooters. Batteries are at risk of overheating and burning, causing irreparable damage to mobility scooters as well as homes. SOme more serious fire have resulted in fatalities.
Without fire covers, overheated batteries in mobility scooters intensely burn. Additionally, these fires release thick smoke which is often difficult to escape. Our mobility scooter fire cover contains and prevents flames as well as smoke from spreading for up to 45 minutes.
The fire cover works by reducing oxygen, thus reducing flames and allowing safe evacuation of occupants when fire alarms have sounded. This also enables fire services to reach fires and extinguish them.

Application Instructions
Make sure there is sufficient space to erect the cover. This is a two-person job
Lay the ground sheet flat. Using the fixing holes located at each corner as a guide, mark on the floor the locations where holes must be drilled
Lifting the corners of the ground sheet, drill holes in the floor
The frame can now be unfolded and placed over the ground sheet. Align the holes in the feet of the frame with the holes in the ground sheet, and screw firmly to the floor. For concrete flooring, raw plugs must be used
The cover can now be lifted over the top of the frame. Starting at the back, pull the cover up and over the frame towards the front
Once the cover is all the way forward, pull down the flaps at the back and sides and fix to the ground sheet using the attached velcro strips
The front of the cover should be attached to the frame legs using the velcro straps
The mobility scooter can now be parked inside the cover. The zips and velcro strips are then used to seal the front flap. Cable entries are located on both sides of the cover, allowing for scooters to be charged whilst parked inside
