SECTION 6—OPERATION OF THE POWERED SCOOTER

Engaging/Disengaging the 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 the scooter.

NOTE: For the following procedure, refer to FIGURE 6.2.

The brake release lever manually engages and disengages the brake. The brake release lever is located under the seat on the right side.

The brake must be engaged 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 and the key is removed, the powered scooter can be pushed. The powered scooter cannot be driven with the brake in the disengaged position.
