Freewheeling (Rolling) Your UltraLite Vehicle
Free-wheeling is used when you want to move (roll) your unit without riding on it. If you want to free wheel your
vehicle, there are two ways to accomplish this:
1. By disengaging the parking brake
, or
2. Lifting the front of the unit and pulling it on its anti-tip wheels
at the rear of the vehicle.
To disengage the parking brakes with the power “OFF”, simply move the free-wheeling lever located on the right
side of the motor upward until it “clicks”. You can easily reach it without having to take the unit apart. When you are
finished moving your vehicle, always remember to move the free wheeling lever to the down position until it “clicks”.
Rolling your vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety clutch which keeps the vehicle from rolling too fast. The clutch activates
at the speed of a brisk walk. You may feel the clutch activate as you are pushing the vehicle - this is normal -
simply slow your pace to deactivate the clutch. This feature reduces uncontrolled vehicle rollaway.
Tyres and wheels
Your Model 355XL scooter is fitted with solid foam filled tyres which co not need
inflating. If these tyres appear to be damaged, they should be replaced. You
should not attempt to replace the wheels and tyres yourself but you should
contact your dealer who will replace the tyre and also check the scooter has not
suffered any damage.
Warning!
If the freewheel device is in “freewheel” the braking is disabled. Never select the freewheel
device if the scooter is on a slope or could be pushed onto a slope.
Warning!
Never sit on your vehicle with the parking brake in the disengaged free-wheel position. When
the parking brake is disengaged, you will roll if pushed or on an incline. Do not park your vehicle on a
incline with the parking brake disengaged. If your vehicle is in the free wheel mode when you pull the speed
control, the vehicle will not operate. To correct this, make sure unit is in “off” position and move the free-
wheel lever down to the engaged position until it “clicks”. Turn your vehicle on to operate.
General: If you are able to push your vehicle, the free-wheel lever is on, and the parking brake is disengaged.
