    batteries the needle will move towards the red sector 
    indicating the state of charge at that precise time. When 
    the needle is fully over to the right (green sector), the 
    batteries are fully charged. When the needle falls towards 
    the red sector your batteries are losing power, but you will 
    still have power to spare. When the needle falls into the 
    red sector your batteries are low in power and need to be 
    re-charged, although you will still have approximately 
    half-an-hours normal flat pavement driving in reserve. 
    It is not recommended to use this power  regularly as it 
    will shorten battery life. It is wise to re- charge your 
    batteries when the needle enters the red zone  (see  
    Batteries and Battery Charging section of this manual). 
    

 
6. Front/Rear Light Switch: This rocker tyre switch controls 
    the function of the front and rear lights. Simply push down 
    on the left side (white spot) (Fig 11) for 'on' and the right 
    side for 'off'.

7. Direction Indicator Light Switch: Located at the bottom 
    right of your console, the direction indicator lights for 
    right and left manoeuvres are controlled by this switch. 
    When making a turning manoeuvre on the road the 
    appropriate  switch dissection warning light (See Fig 10), 
    will flash. To cancel the direction indicator return 
    the switch to the centre position. The left direction 
    indicators are activated by 'flicking' the switch to the left.

 Please note the direction indicators are not 

    self-canceling. 

 Please be aware to test the 

    function of your direction light before each journey. Failure 
    to observe this warning could put you  and other road 
    users into a dangerous situation.

8. Hazard Warning: Positioned to the bottom left o 
    your console, when pressed this red triangular button 
    activates all of the amber flashing  direction lights to 
    warn other road users that you  are stationary or in 
    distress. This function should  only be used in 
    emergencies. You will note that  both green direction 
    lights at the top of your  console are flashing to warn you 
    the hazard  system is in operation. To cancel the hazard 
    warning simply press and release the red  triangular button.

Located under the handlebar grips. Your speed for 
forwards and reverse motion and braking is controlled 
here. The right thumb lever moves your Scooter in a 
forwards direction (Fig 12) and also controls the rate of 
speed by the proportional amount of pressure applied. 

The left thumb lever moves the Scooter in a reverse direction 
and controls the rate of speed by the pressure applied (Fig 13).
The lever when released will return itself, and you will gently 
stop. You will note that you can obtain the reverse of this 
procedure by pulling the levers backwards with your thumb.

NOTE: When driving up a slope or similar obstacle your 

     Scooter will be working hard, the battery gauge 
    will move into the red sector, it will return towards the 
    green sector once the load on your motor is reduced, 
    this does not  indicate low batteries.
