Brake Release / Free Wheel Operation
The brake release lever is situated at the right rear of the scooter. This lever allows you to disengage the drive
mechanism and push the scooter in 'freewheel' mode.
1.
Disengage the drive
: Push the lever forward until you reach the stop position (indicated by the 'N'
direction.)
2.
Re-engage the drive:
Simply push the lever toward the back of the scooter the Drive position- 'D'
position. The scooter will not operate when the lever is in the disengaged position. The scooter must be
turned off and on by the key switch to reset the circuits before it will resume normal operation. The
scooter will beep continually if the brake is disengaged when it is switched on.
Caution:
Never leave the scooter unattended whilst in free wheel mode as it will roll away down an incline.
'Free wheel' mode should only be used in an emergency to move the scooter due to power failure.
NEVER move the scooter in this mode whilst it is occupied. NEVER tow the scooter.
Note:
When in free wheel mode the scooter may be pushed on level ground at a walking pace. The
scooter will 'auto-brake' if this speed is exceeded.
Caution:
Never sit on the scooter and free wheel down a hill as this can cause permanent damage to the
motor, brake and controller due to excessive regenerative braking. As above the scooter can only
be moved at a walking pace when in freewheel mode.
