Sterling Power Products Elite XS owner manual Basic Driving, Exercise caution when reversing

Operating your Scoota

Basic Driving

1.Make sure you are properly seated on the Elite and that the Speed Control Dial is turned fully anti-clockwise towards the tortoise.

Note: Reverse movement of scooter may not occur when Speed Control Dial is turned fully anti-clockwise.

2.Insert key into Key Switch and turn clockwise to on

(90 degrees).

3.On tiller, use the Wig-Wag 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 Elite is easy and logical. Just be sure to remember to get wide clearance when turning 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 scoota and then turn the handlebar to where you want to go, then apply power gently. This will make the Elite turn very sharply. It is also recommended that the pre-set speed is set to a slower setting to aid control in tight spots.

Exercise caution when reversing

7.Reversing requires attention. Right thumb or left fingers operation of the Wig-Wag will reverse the scoota. Always steer in the opposite direction of the way you want to go. The more you use the Wig-Wag Control the faster you will go. Reverse speed is 50% slower than forward speed. If the Elite does not move in reverse, turn the speed control dial cloockwise until the scoota moves gently backwards.
