On/Off Switch
Actuate the yellow rotary switch below the red, lockable
protective cover to make the PowerHawk ready for operation.
Keep in mind that the standard
equipment of the PowerHawk includes
a sleep timer, i.e. if 30 seconds pass
without the unit being moved, it will
switch off automatically. This saves
energy and avoids accidents by
unintentional actuation of the throttle
grip. To restart the unit, the switch
must first be set to "0" and then to
"1".
Furthermore, we recommend locking
the red protective cover for the
respective duration of the ice cream
sale so that unauthorised persons do
not have any possibility to move the PowerHawk.

Use the black XLR connector to charge the PowerHawk’s
batteries. It is also located below the red cover.
Only use the included LEAB chAMP II charger that should be
able to charge nearly exhausted batteries overnight. For
further information please refer to the annex.
Batteries
The batteries and/or the PowerHawk must always be stored in a
cool place. Apart from that, we recommend charging the
batteries once a month to increase their service life. Make sure
that the batteries and/or the PowerHawk are moved regularly in
order to exclude battery damages.

On the right side of the steering fork is a throttle grip allowing
for continuous control of the PowerHawk’s acceleration. Just
like a motorbike, the unit is accelerated by turning the handle
towards you.
Driving Forward/Reversing
The big red lever on the left side of the steering fork controls
the direction of travel. Use this lever in combination with the
