You should only switch ‘off’ when in motion in the case of an emergency. Continual use in
this mode may cause undue stress to the drive system, and damage the main electronic
speed control unit. Be extremely cautious on slopes. Sit upright in your seat or your scooter
may become less stable.
(5) Battery Indicator Gauge
: Located at the top of your console. When your scooter is switched
on the bar on the gauge will move across the scale from the left towards the right, indicating fully
charged batteries. As the power is used up in your batteries the red bars will move towards the left
indicating the state of charge at the precise time. When the red bars are completely over to the
right, the batteries are fully charged. When the red bars start to disappear, your batteries are losing
power. It is wise to recharge your batteries when the two red bars remain.
(See Batteries and
Battery Charging section of this manual)
(6) Speed Adjustment Dial
: This allows you to pre-select your desired speed. The dial is
proportional to speed, and can be set anywhere between 1 and 10 increments. Turn the dial knob
counter-clockwise to "minimum" to decrease speed, and clockwise towards "maximum" to increase
your speed. Located on top of the console there is a "High / Low" switch for extra speed. Please
use extra caution when using the scooter in "High" mode.
NOTE:
When attempting to climb slopes, you will need to set the dial to "high" setting. Remember
the higher the number you set your speed dial to, the faster your scooter will travel.
(7) Thumb Lever Control
: located within the delta tiller grips, your speed for forward and reverse
motion is controlled here. The right thumb lever moves your scooter in a forward motion, and also
controls the rate of speed by the proportional amount of pressure applied.
The left thumb lever moves the scooter in a reverse motion and controls the rate of speed by the
amount of pressure applied. Releasing the lever will return itself to the neutral position, and you will
stop gently.
You will note that you can obtain the reverse of this procedure by pushing the levers forward with
your thumb.
CAUTION: If you are not an accomplished outdoors powered vehicle driver, we strongly
recommend that you first practice in an open, safe area, free from traffic, preferably with a
companion who can assist you.
