OPERATING YOUR ETRIKE
CAUTION
a.
ON – To engage the electric motor and enable the eTrike
to be driven, insert the key into the ignition and turn to
the rightor ON position. The key cannot be removed
while it is in the ON position.
b.
OFF – To disengage the electric motor, turn the key to
the left or OFF position. Power to the eTrike will be
turned off and the key can then be removed.
Exercise due caution when operating your eTrike in inclement weather and
where conditions on the road, sidewalk or other driving areas may be
hazardous.
Although your eTrike is weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture can
potentially cause minor, temporary shutdown in the vehicle’s circuitry. This
interruption will self-correct once the eTrike is allowed to sufficiently dry out.
AVOID taking turns sharply and at high speed. This can result in tipping the
eTrike.
BOTH HANDS must be used on the steering handles at all times. Sudden and
abrupt turns, not using both hands or riding in uneven terrain while operating
can cause the eTrike to become unstable and tip over.
NEVER drive your eTrike through standing water! Immersion of the motor,
battery or other electrical components can cause short circuits and/or serious
damage to those components.
I. IGNITION SWITCH
a. Forward – Depress the switch to the FORWARD (F)
position to allow the eTrike to drive forward when the
throttle controller is engaged. b. Reverse – Depress the
switch to the REVERSE (R) position to allow the eTrike
to drive in reverse when the throttle controller is
engaged. For safety, this setting also activates a
beeping sound as the you drive in reverse to alert
surrounding traffic of your movement.
b.
OFF – To disengage the electric motor, turn the key to
the left or OFF position. Power to the eTrike will be
turned off and the key can then be removed.
II. FORWARD/REVERSE SWITC
