OPERATING THE SCOOTER
To use the scooter, first hold the handlebars securely,
step onto the deck, and sit down onto the seat. Next, turn
the on/off key to the restricted speed (“R”) position or to
the “ON” position. Note: If the restricted speed setting is
selected, the scooter will be restricted from reaching full
speed. Always use the restricted speed setting when
riding the scooter indoors or when riding the scooter
in reverse.
The scooter
can then be
started with
the handgrip
throttle on the
right handle-
bar. To start
the scooter,
securely grip
the handgrip
throttle and slowly roll it backward (counterclockwise).
The scooter will immediately begin to move. Move
your hand to roll the throttle slowly forward or backward
until the scooter moves at the desired speed.
Pull the brake
handle on the
left handlebar
to slow the
scooter quick-
ly. When the
handgrip
throttle is
released or the
brakes are
used, the
motor will stop. Important: Avoid frequently starting
and stopping the motor; frequent starting reduces the
batteries’ charge and may diminish battery life. Do
not repeatedly roll and release the handgrip throttle
in an attempt to move the scooter at a slower speed;
doing this may damage the motor.
Using the direction switch on the right handlebar (see the
photograph at the left), the scooter can be made to drive
backward as well as forward. Press the top of the switch,
marked “R,” to drive the scooter in reverse. When the
switch is set to reverse, a red light in the switch will be
lit. Adjust the speed with the throttle and brake as
described above. To drive the scooter forward, press the
bottom of the switch, marked “F.”
The left handlebar has several controls and a rear-view
mirror for your convenience and safety while riding the
scooter. (See the photograph at the lower left.) Use the
turn signal switch and horn button to signal your inten-
tions to others. The front light switch allows you to turn
on the front light in darkened conditions or when visibili-
ty is poor. Adjust the mirror to allow for a clear view of
what lies behind you.
Use the scooter only on paved, smooth, level surfaces.
Avoid using the scooter on grades steeper than 5% for
extended periods. Important: Avoid starting the motor
on an upward slope; starting the motor uphill strains
the motor and may diminish battery life.
The scooter is rated for use on a hard, level surface with
a surrounding temperature of 50°F and a maximum user
weight of 300 pounds; the batteries’ charge will be used
faster by heavier riders. With the batteries fully charged,
the scooter can travel up to 12 miles under optimal con-
ditions. Important: Make sure the tires are inflated to
the pressure listed on the sides of the tires; underin-
flated tires will strain the motor and batteries.
SELECTING A TONE FOR THE HORN
The horn on
the handlebars
can produce
eight different
tones. Turn the
indicated
selector knob
to select the
desired tone.
ADJUSTING THE HANDLEBARS
The handlebars can be adjusted for a closer grip. Refer to
assembly step 2 on page 4 and attach the handlebars at
the inner holes, rather than at the outer holes.

CAUTION
:
Use the scooter only in
the restricted speed setting until you have famil-
iarized yourself with the scooter’s operation; the
scooter is capable of high speeds even when the
motor is first started. Adjust the speed in small
increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.
