Brake Release / Freewheel Operation (Fig. 7 & 8)
The brake release lever is situated under the
seat at the left rear of the scooter (yellow
lever
Fig. 7
). This lever allows you to
disengage the drive mechanism and push
the scooter in ‘freewheel’ mode. To
disengage the drive, push the knob forward
to the ‘disengaged’ position (
Fig. 8
). The
scooter can now be pushed.
Simply pull the lever back 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 scooter will
bleep 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 at a walking pace. The scooter
will ‘auto-brake’ if this speed is exceeded.
