For your fi rst ride we recommend the following.
1. Make sure the area is fl at, open and free of obstacles.
2. Make sure the tiller is properly adjusted to fi t your driving needs. Refer to the "Soft Touch" Tiller
section in this manual for more information.
3. Make sure the seat is in the locked position (handle is down).
4. Turn the SPEED setting knob to the turtle (1) .
5. Turn the key switch to ON.
6. Push the throttle lever on the “F” side (“F” for Forward) with your thumb to go forward.
7. SLOWLY rotate the SPEED setting knob from the turtle position. Rotate the knob until the
desired top speed is reached.
8. Release the throttle lever to come to a stop. Take note of how the braking feels. The clicking you
might hear upon starting and shortly after releasing the throttle lever is the Posi-Lock Electric
Disk Brake disengaging and engaging.
9. Push the throttle lever on the “R” side (“R” for Reverse) with your thumb to go backward. There is
a factory set forty percent (40%) reduction in speed in the reverse direction WITHOUT any change
in the SPEED SETTING KNOB. Always make sure the area behind you is clear before backing up.
10. Remember to turn the key OFF when not driving or getting on or off the scooter.
WARNING
PaceSavers
are designed for high maneuverability, but use caution when encountering obstacles. Failure
to drive cautiously can result in tipovers or collisions which may cause physical injury. When approaching
an obstacle keep your speed at a minimum and maintain a safe distance from that object.
BE PREPARED TO STOP. Avoid any small objects on the ground. The scooter's ground clearance may be
less than the size of the object. Running over an object or into a depression could cause overturning or
damage to the scooter.
NEVER
ride the unit near platforms, stairs, ledges, curbs or in any other potentially
dangerous situation as severe injury can occur.
WARNING
PaceSaver Titan and Atlas models are high performance vehicles. As with Sport Utility Vehicles they require
more caution when operating. Because of the extra power and speed they are more susceptible to tipping
in rough terrain and tight turns at high speed. Serious injury can result. For that reason you should always use
caution when operating at higher speed.
Remember, speed can be "Dialed Down" using the speed setting knob on the control console without los-
ing power to run at the slower speed. If necessary, the unit can be permanently programmed by your dealer
to operate at a speed more suitabe for your control. Use caution while learning to operate this vehicle and
consult your dealer if you have any problems. This unit should not be used by people with limited physical
upper body strength.
