OPERATING YOUR SCOOTER
10
This scooter has an automatic braking system. Release the thumb
control and the brakes will engage.
You can make the following adjustments to increase your comfort when driving
:
Before beginning your journey with your new scooter, make sure that the scooter is on
a level surface and clear of any obstacles. Although your scooter is able to climb slopes
it is safer to practice on a leveled surface.
•
adjust the seat height and location.
•
adjust the armrest width.
•
adjust the tiller to a comfortable position.
1.Before operating your scooter, check the following:
•
the free-wheeling lever is engaged.
•
the speed dial is at the picture of the turtle.
2.Sit on the scooter and turn on the key. All battery gauge LED lights should be lit.
The Self-Diagnostic Warning Light should not be blinking.
3.When your hands rest comfortably on the handle bar, the thumb control levers should
be within reach. The right lever moves the scooter forward; the left one moves it in
reverse. When you release the thumb lever, the scooter will stop.
4.Steer the scooter by turning the whole tiller in the direction you want to go.
5.Practice driving where there are no obstacles. Start at the slowest speed and drive
forward and backward; make some turns. As you get more comfortable you can
increase the speed by turning the speed dial toward the picture of the rabbit.
6.If only two-battery gauge LED lights are lit, you should plan to recharge the batteries
very soon.
7.If the scooter stops and does not function, locate the circuit breaker (M) in the storage
area. Push it and try the scooter again.
8.When you are finished riding, turn off the key before getting off.
9.If you are finished riding for the day, immediately
recharge the batteries.
