When the key switch is in the OFF position and the freewheel is in the disengaged position,
the motor brake system will keep you from pushing the scooter too fast. You may notice this
when pushing the scooter. The scooter will move freely until you reach a certain speed. You
will then encounter some resistance as the motor brake system is activated.
WARNING: When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the brake is released. The weight of the
scooter on a slope may cause you to lose control of the scooter. If you do not feel capable of
manually controlling your scooter down the slope, request assistance or do not attempt to use
this Procedure.
WARNING: Do not connect or allow anyone except an authorized Scooters Australia
representative to connect any electrical or mechanical device to your scooter. Unauthorized
accessories will void the warranty and may cause injury.
MEDICATION
Always check with your doctor to determine if any of the medications you are taking may
affect your judgement and/or your ability to operate your scooter. Also check with your doctor
concerning your physical ability to operate a scooter.
ROAD RULES
NOTE: Please remember that while on your scooter, you are a motorised pedestrian. You
