●
OFF (3): This position shuts off the engine and allows you to remove
the key.
●
LOCK (4): From the OFF position, push inward and turn the key
counterclockwise to the LOCK position while turning the steering
column to the left and shaking it lightly to engage the steering lock.
Remove key.
Brake Levers and Throttle
●
Rear brake (5): When stopping the scooter, squeeze the rear brake
smoothly and firmly. Always engage the rear brake first.
●
Front brake (6): Squeeze the lever gently at first to avoid locking the
front wheel. Most stopping power comes from the front wheel,
which should always be used to supplement the rear wheel.
WARNING! USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN ENGAGING
THE FRONT BRAKE TO AVOID LOCKING THE FRONT
WHEEL. LOCKING THE FRONT WHEEL CAN CAUSE A
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
●
Throttle grip (7): The rotary throttle grip is on the right handlebar.
Accelerate by rotating the throttle towards you. Gently apply the
throttle to avoid engine from stalling. Decelerate by rotating the
throttle away from you. The throttle includes a safety spring that
snaps the throttle back to idle when released.
