8
You can make the following adjustments to increase your comfort when driving.

•

1.Before operating your scooter, check the following:
•
free-wheeling device on D
•
speed dial is at the turtle picture.
2.Sit on scooter and turn on key. All Battery Gauge LED Lights should be lit. The Self-
Diagnostic Warning Lights should not be blinking.
3.When your hands rest comfortably on the handlebars, the thumb control levers should
be within easy reach. The right lever moves the scooter forward, the left one moves it
backward. When you release both levers the scooter will stop.
This scooter has automatic braking systems. Release the thumb finger
control and the brakes will stop the scooter.
4.Steer the scooter by turning the whole steering column the way you want to go.
5.Practice driving where there are no obstacles. Start at the slowest speed and drive
forward and backward; make some turns. As you get more comfortable you can
increase the speed by turning the speed dial toward the picture of the rabbit.
6.If two Battery Gauge LED Lights be lit, you should plan to recharge the batteries very soon.
7.If the scooter stops, locate the circuit breaker on the top of the battery pack. Push it
and try the scooter again.
8.When you are finished riding, turn off the key before getting off.
9.If you are finished riding for the day, immediately recharge the batteries.

Keep in mind these rules
：
•
Release Throttle and allow scooter to stop completely before changing from forward
to reverse, or reverse to forward.
•
When turning a corner, swing the front wheels wide, because the back wheels will turn
more tightly.
•
Use the scooter only where it would be safe to walk.
•
Use low speeds for reverse, downhills, ramps, curbs, or uneven surfaces.
Other Operating Information
：
Hill climbing :
You may need to use a higher speed. Turn to lower speed before going downhill.
Down slopes :
To proceed down steep slopes slowly, set speed control in proximity of the turtle. This
enables driver control, as the closer the speed control is set toward the turtle, the slower
it will become. However, this scooter will not self accelerate down hills due to the automatic
braking taking effect should you attempt to drive too fast.
Curb climbing :
Approach slowly at right angles to the curb. A slight angle is permissible with a 4-wheel
scooter, but a direct approach is needed on a 3-wheel scooter. Do not attempt greater
than a 3" curb.
If Self-Diagnostic Warning Lights start to blink, identify the problem from the chart on
page 17 and take action.
If the scooter breaks down and must be moved, get off the scooter, push the Free-Wheeling
Lever to N, move the scooter slowly to a safe location, and move the lever back to D.
