Moving the Navigator manually 
 

Manual movement of the Navigator can be done by first engaging the freewheel mode and the power 
off. If this is not done the Navigator can only be moved with great strength. 

 

 

put the freewheel lever in the up position. This engages the freewheel mode 

 

the Navigator can now be moved freely by pushing the backrest 

 

after returning the freewheel lever and powering up the control unit the Navigator is able to 
drive again. 

 

The brakes of the Navigator are not in use during freewheel engagement. This can be reversed by 
turning the freewheel function off. 
 

Fault by engaged freewheel 
 

If the Navigator is powered when you engage the freewheel lever, the status indicator will indicate fault 
code 5. To erase the fault code and drive electrically please proceed as follows: 

 

first disengage the freewheel function (push te freewheel lever down) 

 

then, power off the system (this erases the fault) 

 

when the system is powered up the scooter is able to drive again 

 

Charging the batteries 
 

The Navigator can be equipped with two dry 12 Volt batteries of maximum 73Ah. At daily use the dry 
batteries need no other maintenance than regular charge. The capacity of the batteries at 5 hours 
discharge is 70 Ah, at 20 hours discharge 75Ah. The scooter is equipped with 2 Trojan type SG 70 B 
batteries. The battery connector type on the cable is Alex PVC, dimensions 40 x 20 mm. 

 
Because the batteries are probably empty or partly charged when they arrive, it is of great importance 
to first fully charge the batteries. The scooter is fitted with a charger, standard delivered. If the 
batteries are charged using the below procedure, you will gain maximum lifetime, power and reach of 
the batteries.

Turn off the power of your scooter

Put the power support cable in a wall socket
