Notes: 

Some safety standards specify a particular stall timeout. See the regulations of the 
country in which the scooter is to be used to determine what the correct 

Stall 

Timeout

 value is. 

If Stall Timeout is set to zero, the R

HINO

2

 

will deliver as much power as it can, for as 

long as it can, while still protecting itself. This is not recommended because it can 
be against local regulations and can cause motor damage.
