GETTING ON YOUR BOXSTER
1. Make certain that the key is turned counterclockwise to power down your Scooter.
2. Stand at the side of your Boxster.
3. Push down on the seat lock lever and rotate the seat until it faces you.
4. Make certain that the seat is locked securely in position.
5. Position yourself comfortably and securely in the seat.
6. Push down on the seat lock lever and rotate the seat until you face forward.
7. Make certain that the seat is locked securely in position.

OPERATING YOUR BOXSTER
After planning your route:
1. Set the 4 MPH - 8 MPH switch to your desired maximum speed of 6.4 or 12.8 km/h (4 or 8 mph); then set
the speed adjustment dial to your desired speed.
NOTE: Initially you should set the 4 MPH - 8 MPH switch to 4 MPH and the speed adjustment dial to the
slowest setting. Once you become comfortable with your Scooter, you can increase your speed.
2. Insert the key into the key switch and turn the key clockwise to power up your Scooter.
3. With your hands on the handgrips, use your thumb to gently push the right throttle control lever to disengage
your Boxster’s brakes and move forward; the electric brake automatically disengages and the Boxster accelerates
smoothly to the speed you set with the speed adjustment dial.
4. Pull on the left handgrip to steer your Boxster to the left.
5. Pull on the right handgrip to steer your Boxster to the right.
6. Move the tiller to the center position to drive straight ahead.
7. Gently release the throttle control lever to decelerate and come to a complete stop. The electric brake
automatically engages when your Boxster comes to a stop.
