STARTING TO DRIVE YOUR SCOOTER

Getting Started

Select a level area with plenty of space.

Mount the scooter, either by lifting the arm and sliding on to the seat or rotate the seat outwards and then rotate the seat back to face the tiller.

Adjust the tiller and seat as described previously.

Starting Scooter Movement

Ensure that you are seated in a comfortable position.

Turn the key to the ON position.

Your speed setting should be on 1 or 2.

Pull your right hand finger lever, the scooter will move forward slowly. The harder you pull the faster the scooter goes but will only reach the speed level that has been selected.

Release the lever and the scooter will slowly come to a stop and the magnetic brake will be applied.

Steering

Steering the scooter is light and easy. Ensure when starting off you give a wide clearance when turning so that the rear wheels clear any obstacle that you are passing. When steering through limited spaces such as a doorway or when turning around, turn the tiller handles where you want to go and apply power gently. The scooter will turn very tightly, but will still move with complete stability as long as the speed is not too high.

Reversing

Before reversing ensure that the area behind is free from any hazards or obstructions. Adjust your speed setting to a low setting before you reverse. Pull/press the left thumb/finger lever, and steer wide of all corners and obstacles.

Dismounting

Before dismounting ensure that the key is turned to the off position.

CAUTION: Please ensure that care is exercised when entering

or leaving the scooter and that the tiller and foot rest is not used for support.

EXTRA GUIDELINES IN THE CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER

Ramps

The stability of your scooter is governed by several factors such as the seating position, the angle of the slope and your height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so directly and not at an angle and whenever possible avoid making turns. When going down a ramp or slope keep the speed settings to slow. This will ensure there is a safe controlled descent. When the finger levers are released the scooter will slowly stop.
