NOTE:
The battery indicator will tell you if power is applied. The indicator only works when
the key is switched ON and all battery connections are made.
Your scooter is equipped with a battery saver circuit. It will shut off the controller after 20
minutes of non-use (even with your key "ON"). The system is reset by turning the key "OFF"
and back "ON" again.
2. SPEED SETTING KNOB.
Use this knob, located to the left of the key switch, to
dial in the scooter's top speed and power. Rotate the dial counterclockwise toward the turtle
(1) for use indoors or in tight areas where speed is not required. A higher setting toward the
rabbit (10) is suitable for outdoors and open areas where higher speeds are manageable. When
driving on diffi cult terrain or for persons with more limited physical control, use a lower top
speed setting. If you set the knob between 5 & 10, the control's "power boost" feature will
automatically increase power to maintain the top speed you are comfortable with. Should
you not be able to use the speed control knob, your dealer can program the control for a
slower top speed.
3. BATTERY METER.
This meter indicates the charge condition of the batteries
while you are driving. The batteries are in a good charge condition if the needle is in the
green area while you are driving. The needle in the red area while driving corresponds
to a low charge. It is possible to drive the scooter with the needle in the red area for a short
time. You must charge the batteries as soon as possible. Refer to the battery charging sec-
tion for more information.
4. HORN.
The white button on the front of the control panel is the horn button.
Simply pressing it sounds the horn.
5. THROTTLE LEVER.
The black lever under the control panel is the throttle
lever. Push the lever slowly with your thumb in the direction of the arrows on the control
faceplate to make the scooter go forward or reverse. Pushing the lever in slightly will make
the scooter begin to move. The further you depress the lever the faster the scooter moves.
The top speed set by the SPEED knob is reached by fully depressing the throttle lever.
Completely releasing the throttle bar will stop power to the motor and activate the brakes
as you come to a complete stop. EMERGENCY STOPS - To stop quickly while driving
in forward or reverse, change throttle bar direction (i.e. when going down an incline, to stop
quickly move the throttle bar from forward to reverse.) Release the bar quickly to avoid driv-
ing in the opposite direction.
PLEASE NOTE:
Should the throttle /brake control system not stop the unit, turning the
key switch off will engage all brakes and bring the unit to a smooth stop. This backup system
should only be used in the unlikely event that the primary brake control is disabled, as it puts
an added stress on the components
.
