CAUTION:

 If you find for any reason your Sonet does not reduce speed when you let go of the forward-

reverse lever, use the manual brake on the handlebars.  If this fails to stop you, switch your Sonet off with 
the ON/OFF key. The parking brake will activate immediately and stop your Sonet.  Beware the machine will 
stop very suddenly so brace yourself with the handlebars and sit back on your seat. 

Care! Warning

 

This operation should only be carried out as an emergency; continual use of this procedure 

will damage the drive transmission and motor brake.  Consult your authorized TGA dealer before using your 
scooter again 
 
If you feel for any reason that your Scooter is not driving correctly or making unusual noise, stop using the 
scooter.  Be SAFE, contact your TGA dealer, he will be able to advise you.
