Maximum Speed Knob
The speed control enables you to set the maximum speed of the scooter. Turn
clockwise to increase the maximum speed and anti-clockwise to decrease.
Always start at a slow speed until accustomed with the
characteristics of your scooter. Do not put excessive pressure on the
dial. Only turn as far as the stops.
When driving in pedestrian areas such as shopping precincts and
busy pavement areas always respect other pedestrians and turn the
maximum speed down so that the scooter travels at the walking pace
of others around you.
Brake Release / Freewheel Operation
The brake release lever is situated at the right rear of the scooter. This lever
allows you to disengage the drive mechanism and push the scooter in
‘freewheel’ mode. To disengage the drive, push the lever forward to the
‘disengaged’ position. The scooter can now be pushed.
Simply push the lever backwards down to re-engage the drive mechanism (the
scooter can now be driven). The scooter will not operate when the lever is in the
disengaged position. The scooter must be turned off and on by the key switch to
reset the circuits before it will resume normal operation. The status led will flash
continually if the brake is disengaged when it is switched on.
Caution! Never leave the scooter unattended whilst in freewheel
mode as it will roll away down an incline. ‘Freewheel’ mode should
only be used in an emergency to move the scooter due to power
failure. NEVER move the scooter in this mode whilst it is occupied.
When in freewheel mode the scooter may be pushed on level ground
at a walking pace. The scooter will ‘auto-brake’ if this speed is
exceeded.
