4.2 Using the Stands
Before you start riding Smartscooter®, you must first retract the side stand and main stand. After you
finish riding, you must park the Smartscooter® steadily with the side stand or main stand expanded.
●
Using the side stand
○
Expand or retract the side stand with your foot.
○
A safety sensor is linked with the side stand, so when you expand the side stand, the
motor will be cut off automatically. Therefore, retract the side stand before every ride,
and do not expand it while the Smartscooter® is still moving.
○
Only on a flat and level surface should you park the Smartscooter® with the side stand,
to prevent the Smartscooter® from sliding and tipping over.
●
Using the main stand
○
When retracting the main stand, please stand at the left side of the scooter, hold the left
handle with your left hand, pull the front of the Smartscooter® back to lift the front wheel
off the ground, and press down the rear wheel with your right hand, use the rebound of
the rear wheel to push the Smartscooter® forward with both hands, then the main
stand will bounce up and retract.
○
When parking with the main stand, please stand at the left side of the scooter, hold the
left handle with your left hand, face the rear of the scooter, straighten your right hand to
grasp the rear armrest, point your right toe and knee backward, and step on the pedal
of the main stand, gently step down and fine-tune the left and right inclination of the
scooter, confirm that the two tips below the main stand are firmly in contact with the
ground, then place your weight on the right foot and step down firmly, pulling up with
your left hand, then you can pull up the rear of the Smartscooter® and expand the main
stand.
○
Specific models have a safety sensor linked with the main stand, so when you expand
the main stand , the motor will be cut off automatically. Therefore, retract the main stand
before every ride, and do not expand it while the Smartscooter® is still moving.
When Smartscooter® is moving, if the side stand is expanded, it will cut the motor off when the
speed drops to below 5 km/h. Even so, do not expand the side stand on the move to avoid
unexpected danger.
Specific models will not automatically turn off the motor when the main stand is expanded, so
please do not forget to check whether the motor is turned off when you park the scooter.
