X. OPERATING GUIDE

A. CIRCUIT BREAKERS (Figure 1)

1. Notes:

Your Guardian Trek has a circuit breaker on the battery case (A).

•In the unlikely event of a short circuit or heavy overload, all power to your scooter will be shut off.

•To reset your scooter, depress the circuit breaker button located on the front of the battery case. A few minutes wait is required before the circuit breaker will reset.

2.Repeated Shutdown:

If the scooter continues to shut down after resetting, have it serviced by a supplier.

B. TILLER CONTROL FUNCTIONS (Figure 2)

NOTE– To preserve battery charge, your scooter will go into sleep mode after being left idle 5 minutes. To remove from sleep, turn key off and then back on.

1. Hand Controls

All of the drive controls for the scooter are to be found on the Tiller Control Box.

2. The Pre-Set Speed Knob

Turning the knob to the left reduces your available maximum speed. Turning it to the right increases the available maximum speed.

3. The Battery Gauge

This gives an approximation of battery charge.

The gauge is marked from “E” empty to “F” full. For extra clarity there is a colored graduat- ed scale ranging from RED (Empty) through YELLOW to GREEN (Full).

As the scooter moves over differing terrain, the battery gauge will dip up and down. This is normal. For a more accurate indication, stop the scooter and note the reading.

GREEN indicates ready for use.

YELLOW indicates batteries to be charged as soon as possible. RED indicates charge batteries immediately.

NOTE– If you find that your battery gauge has gone into the red while you are out and about, you can increase the remaining range of your scooter by reducing your maximum available speed, but you MUST charge your scooter as soon as you can.

4. Throttle Lever

The throttle lever offers finger-tip control of your scooter. It controls the speed as well as forward and reverse motion. Pushing the right-hand side of the lever away from you moves the scooter forwards. Pushing the left-hand side of the lever away from you moves the scooter in reverse and sounds a reversing beeper. The more you move the lever the more your speed increases up to its pre-set maximum. It is possible to operate your scooter using one side of the throttle lever. To do this you must PUSH and PULL on the chosen side of the throttle lever.

NOTE– One-hand operation requires careful concentration and is more tiring than normal operation.

5. Horn Button

Pressing the yellow horn button operates an audible beep. Use this function to warn pedes- trians of your presence when necessary.

6. Key On-Off Switch

Make sure that this switch is in the OFF position BEFORE getting on or off the scooter. Switching this switch to OFF while driving will cause the scooter to stop very abruptly. This is not recommended.
