SECTION 6—OPERATION OF THE POWERED SCOOTER

NOTE: Throttle control levers operate such that moving one (1) will also move the opposite side throttle control lever.

7.To operate the scooter, depress the throttle control lever in the following manner:

A.TO MOVE FORWARD - Push the RIGHT side throttle control lever FORWARD (away from user) or pull the LEFT side throttle control lever REARWARD (towards user).

B.TO MOVE IN REVERSE - Push the LEFT side throttle control lever FORWARD (away from user) or pull the RIGHT side throttle control lever REARWARD (towards user).

C.TO STOP - Release the throttle control lever and the powered scooter will quickly slow down and the brake will engage.

NOTE: To equip the scooter for LEFT hand operation, contact a qualified technician.

The powered scooter is equipped with a "proportional" control meaning that the farther you depress the throttle control lever, the faster the powered scooter travels. With a proportional control, you can drive as slowly in the high speed setting as you can in the low speed setting. Your top speed, however, is limited by the setting of the speed-control knob. For safety reasons, reverse speed is limited to approximately 50% of forward speed.

When first learning to drive, adjust speed control knob for a SLOW speed and try to drive the powered scooter AS SLOWLY as possible by depressing the throttle control lever only slightly. This exercise will help you learn to utilize the full potential of the proportional control and allow you to start and stop smoothly.

BRAKE RELEASE LEVER

WARNING

Ensure that the brake-release lever is in the ENGAGED position before driving. There should be an audible "click" when stopping and starting.

NOTE: For the following information, refer to FIGURE 6.3.

The brake release lever manually engages and disengages the brake. The brake release lever is located under the shroud near the LEFT caster assembly.

The brake MUST be ENGAGED (lever pushed IN) in normal driving conditions. Activation of the throttle control lever automatically releases the brake so that the powered scooter can drive. Releasing the throttle control lever automatically engages the brake so as to prevent the powered scooter from rolling on its own.

When the brake release lever is DISENGAGED (lever pulled OUT) and the key is removed, the powered scooter can be pushed. The powered scooter CANNOT be driven with the brake in the DISENGAGED (lever pulled OUT) position.
