-Completely release the brake (Fig. 2) and gently and progressively roll the throttle
on towards you (Fig. 3). N.B. the brake lever has a switch in built to prevent throttle
operation whilst applied.
-The vehicle will start to move in the direction intended. Roll more throttle on to
increase the speed of travel (roll the top towards you). Avoid fast and full
application of the throttle as this will make the vehicle accelerate quickly and
can cause the rider loose safe control of the vehicle and may result in injury to the
rider or persons nearby or damage to the vehicle or surrounding property. Small,

position. Gently start to apply the brake lever (left hand) and increase the amount
of pressure on the lever to increase the braking amount and reduce the vehicle
speed.
-To change direction of travel, come to a complete stop and select the direction
of travel with the forward/reverse switch (Fig. 5).
-The vehicle is also equipped with a high/low speed selector switch (Fig. 5). The
vehicle can operate with the switch in any position and can be changed whilst
the vehicle is in motion. For new and inexperienced riders, the switch should be
put into the low speed setting. This setting will limit the power of the vehicle and
govern the speed to a fast walking pace. It is strongly recommended that when
using the vehicle in areas of high pedestrian activity that the low speed is
