SCOOTER TILLER CONTROLS (FIG 4)
Speed Controls
The speed control allows you to set as 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.
