SCOOTER TILLER CONTROLS (FIG 4)
Speed Controls
The speed control allows you to set a speed between slow (turtle) and fast (rabbit).
Battery Level Indicator Gauge
Where the needle sits, shows the amount of charge in your batteries. The amount of
charge will only show at its true level when the scooter is in drive. Always charge the
batteries completely before beginning out on any journey.
Caution – Do not allow the gauge needle to go down completely as complete
discharge of the batteries could cause irreversible battery damage.
Horn
A yellow button next to power switch on tiller operates the horn.
Hand Lever Controls
The left hand lever controls the reverse and the right hand lever controls the forward
motion. The amount of pressure applied to each lever will determine the speed the scooter
travels at up to the speed selected. Release the hand lever and the scooter will
automatically come to a stop as the electromagnetic brake is applied to the motor.
On/Off Switch
The On/Off switch is located on the tiller. When the unit is in the On position the switch will
display a red light and the battery gauge needle will move. There may be a slight delay
before the hand lever control can be operated, while the main controller checks the circuits.
Electromagnetic Brake
The brake is automatically operated when the hand control levers are pressed or released.
There is a slight delay when the scooter accelerates and decelerates; this allows the
scooter to start smoothly and come to a smooth stop.
