The electromechanical disc park brake automatically disengages and the scooter accelerates smoothly to the
speed you preselected with the speed adjustment dial.

Pull on the left handgrip to steer your scooter to the left.
!
Pull on the right handgrip to steer your scooter to the right.
WARNING! The following can adversely affect steering and stability while operating your
scooter:

!
Carrying passengers (including pets).
!
Hanging any article from the tiller.
!
Towing or being pushed by another motorised vehicle.
Such practices could cause loss of control and/or tipping, resulting in personal injury and/
or damage to your scooter.
WARNING! Never attempt to get onto or off of your scooter without first removing the key
from the key switch. This will prevent the scooter from moving if accidental throttle control
lever contact is made.
