Operating Your Scooter
Starting and Driving
1. Make sure the seat is properly installed.
2. Make sure the tiller has been properly secured.
3. Turn the power switch to “ON”.
4. Check the battery indicator to see whether there is enough power for your journey. If
you have any doubt about the remaining power, recharge the batteries contained in the
battery-pack before you depart by plugging the charger to the battery-pack or to the
charging socket on the tiller.
5. Set the speed dial to a position you feel safe and comfortable with.
6. Check that the forward/reverse speed lever works correctly.
7. Make sure the electromagnetic brake works correctly.
8. Before driving, ensure it is safe to do so where you are.
ATTENTION
1. Do not push both right hand and left hand sides of the speed control lever
simultaneously. This might leave you unable to control your scooter.
2. Do not turn the power switch to OFF while driving as this will lead to an emergency
stop and possible risk of accident and injury.
3. Do not set to the highest speeds while driving indoors.
4. Do not adjust the speed dial while driving, a sudden change in speed may cause
danger to you and others, and may cause damage to your scooter.
5. Do not place magnetic devices near the area of the bar handle as this could affect the
safe operation of your scooter.
6. Do be careful while driving near traffic or in crowded areas.
7. While reversing the vehicle, beware of people or objects behind you.
Stopping
1. Release the speed control lever completely. The vehicle will naturally brake and stop.
2. Turn the scooter off with the key. Then pull out the key.
ATTENTION
• The stopping distance will vary with your forward / reverse speed. Therefore begin
braking as early as you can.
• While parking your scooter, be sure to park on flat ground and then turn the power to
“OFF” before you get off.
