Speed Control:
This controls the top speed of your scooter. When the knob is turned anticlockwise to the
left, this is its slowest speed, marked by a tortoise. As the knob is turned to the right the speed will
increase to a maximum, marked by a hare. Set the speed before you move off. Do not adjust the speed
control dial when the vehicle is moving.
Charging Point:
The charging point is situated on the front left hand side of the battery box (see charging
Battery Charging section for further instructions).

Finger control
To operate, turn on the ignition.
Pull the right hand lever towards you and the machine moves forward. The more you pull the lever the faster
the scooter goes. To brake, release the lever. Again the faster the lever is released the quicker you will stop.
To reverse, pull the left lever towards you. Do not pull both levers at once.
Note. The controls can be changed for customers with a left-hand bias. Please contact your local dealer.
Freewheel Device
When the vehicle is switched off the brakes are automatically engaged. This is called “Failsafe Braking”.
Also, if the batteries are flat, the brakes are applied. There may be occasions where you may wish to
move the vehicle without power. To do this there is a Freewheel Device fitted.
The Freewheel device allows the vehicle to be pushed without power. To activate, first locate the lever. When
standing behind the scooter, it is located on the right hand side of the rear of the vehicle - See Illustration.
• Make sure the ignition is switched off.
• Move the lever down. The vehicle can now be pushed in Freewheel.
• Move the lever up to engage drive. The vehicle is now braked. This is the normal operating position.
