Guidance for Safe Operation and Use

Basic Driving

Caution!

It is advisable during the first few sessions of operating your scooter that the area around you is clear of obstacles and pedestrians.

Before operating your scooter, ensure the seat height and position has been adjusted to your satisfaction and the tiller angle has been set for optimum safety and comfort.

Please see the “General Warnings”, “Getting on Your Scooter” and “Tiller Adjustment” sections in this handbook.

1.Make sure you are properly seated on the scooter and that the speed control knob is turned fully to the left, towards “MIN”.

2.Turn the key switch to the “ON” position.

3.On the tiller, use the throttle lever as described earlier. You will gently accelerate. Release and you will gently stop. Practice these two basic functions until you get used to them.

4.Steering the scooter is easy and logical. Be sure to remember to allow enough clearance when turning corners so that the rear wheels clear any obstacle.

5.Shortcutting a pavement corner can cause the back wheel to go off the pavement, causing problems if the corner is very rough. Avoid this at all times by steering an exaggerated curve around the obstacle.

6.When steering in a tight spot, such as entering a doorway or when turning around, stop the scooter and then turn the handlebar to where you want to go, then apply power gently. This will make the scooter turn very sharply. It is also recommended that the preset speed is set to a slower setting to aid control in tight spots.

7.Reversing requires attention - exercise caution when reversing especially down slopes.

When reversing, always turn the handlebars in the opposite direction to the way you want to go.

The more you operate the throttle lever, the faster you will go.

Reverse speed is 50% slower than forward speed. If the scooter does not move in reverse, carefully turn the speed control knob clockwise until the scooter moves gently backwards.

Important:

To preserve battery power there is a “sleep timer” feature built into the controller. Should the scooter be left ON, but not operated for 15 minutes the scooter will go into “sleep mode”. To reset this, switch the scooter OFF and then back ON again.
