SECTION 6—OPERATION OF THE POWERED SCOOTER

NOTE: For driving indoors or on uneven terrain, a slower speed is recommended. For soft terrain or steep inclines (no greater than 8°), a faster speed may be necessary.

8. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the on position.

WARNING

ALWAYS depress the throttle control lever gradually. This will ensure smooth safe starts.

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

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

To Move Forward ‐ Push the right side throttle control lever (away from the user) or pull the left side throttle control lever towards the user).

To Move in Reverse ‐ Push the left side throttle control lever (away from the user) or pull the right side throttle control lever (towards the user).

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 ʺproportionalʺ 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.
