Starting to Drive
Getting Started
Note: You must fully charge the batteries prior to first use (see
‘Batteries and Charging’)
Select an area with plenty of space.
Mount the scooter by lifting the arm and sliding onto the seat.
Ensure the seat
is securely locked in the forward facing position before driving.
Adjust
the tiller and seat if necessary ( see ‘Adjustments’ ).
DO NOT use the tiller to
fully support you during transfers.
The Sorrento has a dual operation thumb / finger lever which enables use by
both fingers and thumbs. The direction of the scooter is determined by which
part of the lever is pushed / pulled as outlined above.
If the lever is operated in direction ‘A’ at the relevant point it will move forward,
the ‘B’ direction will cause the scooter to reverse.
Moving Off
Insert the key and switch on the power and initially set the speed control to a low
setting. The further you push / pull the lever the faster the scooter will travel, but
only to the maximum speed that has been selected. Release the lever and the
scooter will come to a smooth controlled stop.
Caution! DO NOT switch off the power to stop the scooter as this will
cause the transmission to lock and the scooter will come to a sharp
stop, which could possibly cause injury. This procedure should only
be used in an emergency.
