FREEWHEEL MODE

Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when engaged, allows the scooter to be pushed. For more information about how to place your scooter into and out of freewheel mode, see III. “Your Scooter.”

WARNING! When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged. Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.

Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.

Stand to the side of the scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on a scooter to do this.

After you have finished pushing your scooter, always return it to the drive mode to lock the brakes.

An added feature built into the scooter is “push-too-fast” protection which safeguards the scooter against gaining excessive speed while in freewheel mode.

“Push-too-fast” operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists:

If the key is switched “off” while in freewheel mode, the scooter’s controller activates regenerative braking when the scooter is pushed faster than a maximum threshold which has been preprogrammed. In this case, the controller is acting as a speed governor.

If the key is switched “on” while in freewheel mode, you will encounter considerable resistance at any speed. This prevents the scooter from gaining unwanted momentum should the manual freewheel lever inadvertently be released while driving the scooter.

STAIRS AND ESCALATORS

Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.

WARNING! Do not use your scooter to negotiate steps or escalators.

DOORS

Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.

Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.

Drive your scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your scooter gently and slowly backwards to pull the door open.

ELEVATORS

Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).

If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the scooter and the door will reopen.

Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.

NOTE: If your scooter’s turning radius is greater than 60 in. (152.4 cm), it may be difficult to maneuver in elevators and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneuver your scooter in small spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
