3.2 Status Indicator
Depending on the scooter model, the status indicator may be a single bulb (or LED)
or a PGDT TruCharge battery and diagnostics indicator.
The status indicator shows you that the scooter is switched on. It also indicates the
operating status of the scooter. Details are given in section 8.0.
3.3 Throttle
The throttle controls the speed of the scooter. The further you push the throttle, the
faster your scooter will move. When you release the throttle the brake is automatically
applied.
Depending on the scooter model, the throttle configuration may be one of two types
- wig-wag or single-ended.
3.3.1 Wig-wag Throttle
In this configuration, both the speed and the direction of the scooter are controlled by
the throttle. To drive forwards, push the throttle in one direction: to drive in reverse, push
the throttle in the other direction.
3.3.2 Single-ended Throttle
In this configuration, just the speed of the scooter is controlled by the throttle. When the
throttle is pushed - depending on the position of the reverse switch (see section 3.4) -
the scooter will drive in either the forward or reverse direction.
3.4 Reverse Switch
This switch will only be fitted to the scooter if the throttle configuration is single-ended
(see section 3.3.2). The switch is used to change between forward and reverse drive.
3.5 Speed Limiting Control
This control sets the maximum speed of the scooter. Turn the knob clockwise to increase
the maximum speed setting or anti-clockwise to decrease the maximum speed setting.
3.6 Slow/Fast Switch
This switch selects the driving mode - either slow or fast - of the scooter. You can use
this switch to limit the scooter’s driving behavior in environments where that may be
desirable or necessary, e.g. if you are driving indoors or on the sidewalk.
3.7 Freewheel Switch
This switch allows you to push the scooter without having to mechanically disengage
the parking brake. Whilst this switch is operated, the controller will not allow drive and
the speed at which the scooter can be pushed will be limited to 75% of the maximum
driving speed.
If you operate this switch whilst you are driving, the controller will stop the scooter and
signal a fault.
3.8 Reverse Alarm
This provides an audible warning when the scooter is being driven in the reverse
direction.
