Operating your Scoota

Freewheel mechanism

A freewheel device disengages the power drive to allow manual operation (Fig. 10).

The freewheel is selected by pulling up the lever which is located at the rear of the scoota. Once it has been selected a visual display will appear as shown (Fig. 11) and it will be accompanied by a high pitched sounding of the horn. This is a safety device to warn you that the scoota is in freewheel mode.

To stop the horn sounding whilst pushing your scoota, switch off the power using the key.

To turn off the freewheel and engage the motor, simply push the lever downwards.

Note: Use extreme caution in the freewheel mode, especially on slopes/inclines.

Caution!

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

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

Mounting

When first driving the scoota, be sure you and the Elite are on a level surface. Put the key in its slot, but leave it turned off. Stand behind the Elite seat and reach down to the Seat Lock Lever. It is located on the right side directly under the seat (can be configured on either side of the seat: standard position is on the right side).
