STARTING TO DRIVE YOUR SCOOTER
Getting started
Select a level area with plenty of space.
Mount the scooter by lifting the arm and sliding on to the seat.
Moving Off
Ensure that you are seated in a comfortable position. Turn the key to the on position.
Your speed setting should be on 1 or 2.
Press your right hand thumb lever the scooter will move forward slowly. The harder you
press the faster the scooter goes but will only reach the speed level that has been selected.
Release the lever and the scooter will slowly come to a stop and the magnetic brake will
be applied.
Steering
Steering the scooter is light and easy. Ensure when starting off you give a wide clearance
when turning so that the rear wheels clear any obstacle that you are passing. When
steering through limited spaces such as a doorway or when turning around, turn the tiller
handles where you want to go and apply power gently. The scooter will turn very tightly,
but will still move with comp lete stability.
Reversing
Before reversing ensure that the area behind is free from any hazards or obstructions.
Adjust your speed setting to a low setting before you reverse. Press the left thumb lever,
and steer wide of all corners and obstacles.
Dismounting
Before dismounting ensure that the key is turned to the off position.
Caution: Please ensure that care is exercised when enterin
or leaving the scooter and that the tiller is not used for support.
EXTRA GUIDE LINES IN THE CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER
Ramps
The stability of your scooter is governed by several factors such as the seating position,
the angle of the slope and your height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so
directly and not at an angle and where ever possible avoid making turns. When going
down a ramp or a slope keep the speed settings to slow. This will ensure there is a safe
controlled descent. When the thumb levers are released the scooter will slowly stop.
Do not turn off the control key whilst the unit is in motion.
Please follow the guidelines given previously and your scooter will perform admirably
over many surfaces.
Avoid long grass, loose gravel and sand.
