2.7.1 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. For first time use, fully recharge the batteries.
2. Make sure that the motor is engaged in driving position.
3. Set the steering unit in the most comfortable position for yourself and make sure it has been
secured properly.
4. See that the seat has been locked in the driving position (forward position).
5. Sit down on the seat and verify that both armrests are folded down so you can rest your arms
on them.
6. Insert contact key and turn the key to "ON". The electromagnetic brakes releases
automatically when the throttle is squeezed. If necessary, turn on the headlights.
7. Check the battery indicator and see that there is enough power for your trip. If not enough
capacity recharge the batteries before departure.
8. Put the speed lever to the minimum position or a position that you feel safe and comfortable
with. Only use higher speed setting when you are confident that you can easily operate and
control your scooter.
9. Check the forward / reverse speed lever works correctly.
10. Make sure the electromagnetic brake works correctly.
Your scooter is now ready for use.
Before using the scooter in busy or potentially dangerous areas, familiarize yourself with the operation
of your scooter. Please practice in a wide and open area like a park. In order to avoid accidents with
your scooter while driving, please bear in mind driving motions, such as accelerating, stopping,
turning, reversing, up- and down ramps.
Be sure someone accompanies you for safety when driving on the roads for the first time.
2.7.2 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, the scooter
cannot be driven and the electromagnetic brake is locked. Turn the key 90° towards you and remove
the key. The key can only be removed once the scooter has been switched off.
2.7.3 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.
