DRIVE/FREEWHEEL OPERATION (FIG 5) 

The drive/freewheel lever (yellow lever) is located at the right rear of unit.  This lever allows 
you to disengage the drive mechanism and push the scooter while in freewheel mode.  To 
disengage the drive mechanism (neutral), push the lever up (the scooter can now be pushed), 
push the lever down (now the unit may be driven). 

NOTE:  The scooter will not operate while the drive/freewheel lever is in the neutral position 
(forward).  The scooter must be turned off, lever pushed downward (drive position) and then 
turned on in order to reset the circuits. 

WARNING!    Always  re-engage  the  free-wheeling  device  after  use.    Failure  to  do  so  may 
result in injury.

 

Anti-Tip Wheels 

The Anti-Tip Wheels are located at the rear of the scooter (Fig 5). The scooter should not be 
used unless the anti-tip wheels are in place. 

Shoprider ® is not responsible for damage or injury incurred due to improper or misuse of
