Brakes
There are 3 braking systems. The first works with the finger controls. When the finger control is released the
scooter will automatically brake and bring the scooter smartly to a stop. When the scooter stops an automatic
brake will engage. This will stop the vehicle rolling forward or backward. When you start this brake will
automatically disengage.
If the battery should go flat the brakes automatically engage. Note that even when freewheel is selected, a
secondary braking system is applied automatically to limit the maximum speed. You may notice this system
when moving the scooter in freewheel. The Model 329 LE Scooters are also provided with a hand operated
parking brake mounted on the right handlebar. This should be used to prevent any movement when the
scooter is parked and could be used in an emergency to slow the vehicle.
Armrest adjustment
When getting seated on the scooter lift the armrest up. When riding
always have the armrest in the down position. Avoid pinching fingers
as you lower the armrest.
If you require more room in the width of the seat undo the knobs at the
rear of the seat. Slide the armrests in or out to suit. Tighten both knobs
to clamp. To ensure that the user is sitting centrally, the armrests should
always be adjusted to be equidistant from the centre of the seat.
Warning!
If the freewheel device is in “freewheel” the automatic braking is disabled. Never select the
freewheel device if the scooter is on a slope or could be pushed onto a slope.
Warning!
Never drive with the armrest up or with the armrest knob loose.
