Safety warnings
It is your responsibility to ensure that you read and meet all of
the rider requirements listed below and are aware of all risks
of riding as listed in the BLUMIL and Personal Transporter
manuals before attempting to ride with BLUMIL.
• You must be able to stay on your BLUMIL. If you slip off the
seat you will fall and risk being injured.
• To control the Personal Transporter with BLUMIL you must
be able to move your center of gravity by leaning forward and
backward. A rapid stop will require leaning backward
aggressively. Be sure you can perform all maneuvers
effectively before riding.
• You must be able to deploy and retract the parking
mechanism in one swift motion with only one hand.
• You must be able to operate the steering handle.
• You must be prepared to deal with a safety shutdown. A
safety shutdown provides approximately 10 seconds to exit the
seat of BLUMIL and/or deploy the parking mechanism before
the Personal Transporter powers down and falls over.
• You must have reasonable mental aptitude and be free from
impairment in order to apply judgment while operating your
Personal Transporter with BLUMIL.
• In spite of the precautions taken by Personal Transporter and
the makers of the BLUMIL, there is still the potential of a fall. If
you cannot survive a fall, you should not ride the BLUMIL.
• Do not ride curbs higher than 2 cm

Risks
It is your responsibility to ensure that you read and understand
all of the risks of riding before you attempt to ride the Personal
Transporter with BLUMIL.
• Riding the Personal Transporter risks serious injury or death
from falls, loss of traction, loss of balance, collisions and other
accidents.
• To reduce the risk of injury, read the Personal Transporter
manual and the BLUMIL manual to learn how to safely mount,
dismount and ride.
• Follow all safety guidelines for riding the Personal
Transporter with BLUMIL.
• Do not ride with BLUMIL unless it has been properly adjusted
to your individual weight distribution and dimensions.
• When a Personal Transporter fails, it falls over. BLUMIL will
only prevent this when the parking mechanism is deployed, as
defined in this manual.
• Only mount or dismount BLUMIL while the parking
mechanism is properly deployed.
• Deploy and retract the BLUMIL parking mechanism only
when on smooth, solid, level surfaces.
• Do not attempt to retract the BLUMIL parking mechanism
while the Personal Transporter is “Off”. The Personal
Transporter will fall over.
• The parking mechanism must be properly deployed and
retracted to avoid injury. This is done with one swift pull or
push of the parking lever. Slowly retracting or deploying the
parking mechanism may result in the Personal Transporter
7
being caught in “Standby” mode or “Riderless Balance Mode”
without the full stability of the parking mechanism or without
the Personal Transporter “Balance Mode” engaged which
auto-balances with BLUMIL. Falls and injury may result.
• Do not attempt to ride when the battery indicator displays
no bars.
• The Personal Transporter floats to a stop as the center of
gravity is shifted opposite the direction of travel. Failure to
begin stopping early enough can result in collision, accident,
serious injury or death. Always give yourself enough room to
safely stop.
CAUTION: Due to the lower center of gravity with BLUMIL, the
distance required for stopping may be greater, requiring more
time to stop.
• Be aware that the Personal Transporter programming causes
the BLUMIL to re-align itself in a parallel direction to any slope
(it will realign itself to face downhill). The rider must always
have a hand on the steering lever to control this movement.
• Keep obstructions such as straps, clothing, jewelry, and bags
away from the wheels and other moving parts.
• Be aware of the foot rest at all times as it may catch on walls,
steep inclines, or other obstructions and cause Personal
Transporter instability with BLUMIL.
• Do not deploy the parking mechanism while moving, this may
result in fall and injury.
• Do not go onto surfaces steeper than 10°.
• Do not ride Blumil if the pressure in tyres in not enough or
uneven.
8
• Do not attempt to use any stairs to move between different
levels, as it may result in an accident.
• Avoid surfaces covered in ice, oil or other slippery
substances.
• While using and servicing the Blumil, some body parts may
get caught in/squeezed in the elements of Blumil. You need
to be very careful. After regulating the Blumil, always make
sure that the bolts are screwed securely.
• If the seat is exposed directly to sunlight, its temperature
may significantly increase.
• Please keep away from children under the age of 5 (choking
hazard).
• Protect from fire and flammables.
• Do not ride over puddles or avoid getting the wheelchair
wet in any other way.
• To carry the Blumil, use the sides.

Installation
As the Blumil fits the Ninebot/Segway mini pro, please refer to
the appropriate section of the manual of the Personal
Transporter.
Smartphone App
At the beginning, download the Ninebot smartphone app. This
is necessary to properly set up the Ninebot/Segway mini pro
for use with the Blumil.
After you have connected with your PT via Bluetooth go to
“Vehicle Settings”
10
Then select “Sensor Settings”
Make sure the “Balance Assistance Mode” is set to 0,0.
Failure to do so will result of malfunctioning of the Blumil.
Switch off “Automatic Riding Sensitivity Adjustment” and
