Make sure the batteries are sufficiently charged: this is indicated by the
green zone on the battery-condition indicator. See ‘Console’.
In winter, batteries have a lower capacity. In case of light
frost, the capacity drops to about 75% and at a temperature
of less than -5 degrees, it will drop to about 50% of the
normal capacity. This will decrease the range of the scooter.
•
Make sure the free-wheel lever is in the ‘Brake Engage’ position. See ‘Free -
wheel position of the scooter’.
•
Make sure the brakes are functioning correctly. See ‘Driving procedures’.
If the scooter starts behaving in an unpredictable manner, let go of the throttle
levers and let the scooter come to a complete stop. Remove the jack key from
the console and then reinsert to restart the scooter.
If everything is in order, the scooter can be driven.
5.2.2
Getting on and off the scooter
(Seat may differ slightly from illustration)
Before geting on or off, the scooter
should be switched off by removing
the jack key. The free-wheel lever
must also be in the “Brake Engaged”
position.
•
Before getting on the scooter, the armrest can be
flipped up and the seat can be rotated.
Getting on the scooter:
•
Switch off the scooter.
•
Move the seat-lock handle (A) toward the front of the scooter and rotate the
seat 90 degrees to the left or to the right. When you release the seat-lock
handle, the seat will automatically lock: the handle will click into place.
•
Now you can seat yourself.
•
The seat can be rotated back as described above.
When the seat has been rotated to its original position, it will click back into
place. This way it cannot inadvertently turn while driving.
