2.8.1 Preparing the scooter for use
When you use your scooter for the first time, make sure that it is standing on level ground. All wheels
must be in contact with the ground.
1. Make sure that the motor is engaged.
2. Set the seat at a height best suited to yourself.
3. Set the steering unit in the most comfortable position for yourself.
4. Sit down on the seat and verify that both armrests have been adjusted so your forearms are
folded down.
5. See that the seat has been locked in the driving position.
6. Insert contact key and turn to the right.
Now put the speed control on the operator control to the minimum position. Your scooter is now ready
for use.
2.8.2 Handling after usage
Before getting off from your scooter, make sure that all four wheels touch the ground simultaneously.
Next turn the key to the “OFF” (charge indicator goes out) to turn off the integrated light.
2.8.3 Parking the scooter
Once your scooter has been turned off, no command can be sent to the driving system. You will be
unable to deactivate the electromagnetic brakes before turning on your scooter again. Always park
your scooter on sites that are well guarded or clearly visible.
2.8.4 Your first trip

WARNING:
Control your scooter - Accustom yourself with the driving behavior of your

Driving
Once you are seated on your scooter and have started it as described above, take hold of the Delta-
handle bar with both hands. Pull with your hand the speed lever in the required direction, i.e.:
Standard adjustment (righthanded)*
PULL ACTION BY THE RIGHT HAND
= FORWARD MOVEMENT
PULL ACTION BY THE LEFT HAND = BACKWARD MOVEMENT
*Settings for lefthanded persons can be different, so the driving direction is changed.

Braking
To brake, let go of the speed/drive lever, which will let it return to the zero position and slow down your
scooter to a gentle stop. Practice pulling away and braking to get accustomed to the scooter. You
need to be able to estimate how your scooter will react when you drive or brake.
