Starting to Drive 
 

Getting Started 
Note: You must fully charge the batteries prior to first use (see ‘Batteries and Charging’) 
Select an area with plenty of space. 

Mount the scooter by lifting the arm and sliding onto the seat. Ensure the seat is securely 
locked in the forward facing position before driving.
  
Adjust the tiller and seat if 

necessary (see ‘Adjustments’). DO NOT use the tiller to fully support you during transfers. 
 

 

 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

The Granada has a dual operation thumb / finger lever which enables use by both 
fingers and thumbs. The direction of the scooter is determined by which part of the lever 

is pushed / pulled as outlined above. 
If the lever is operated in direction ‘A’ at the relevant point it will move forward, the ‘B’ 
direction will cause the scooter to reverse. 
 

Moving Off 
Insert the key and switch on the power and initially set the speed control to a low 
setting. The further you push / pull the lever the faster the scooter will travel, but only to 
the maximum speed that has been selected. Release the lever and the scooter will 

come to a smooth controlled stop. 
 
Caution! DO NOT switch off the power to stop the scooter as this will cause the 
transmission to lock and the scooter will come to a sharp stop, which could possibly 
cause injury. This procedure should only be used in an emergency. 
 
Steering 
Steering the scooter is light and easy. Ensure you give obstacles a wide clearance to 
avoid the rear wheels catching. When steering through limited spaces, turn the tiller in 
the direction that you wish to go and apply power gently. The scooter can turn very 
tightly with complete stability at slow speeds. 
Caution! NEVER turn sharply at high speeds as it can make the scooter unstable. The 
maximum speed should be set at 50%. 
 
Reversing 
Before reversing ensure the area behind the scooter is free from any obstacles or 
hazards. Adjust the speed setting to low before you reverse. Steer wide of all corners 
and obstacles. 
Caution! Do not reverse onto a main thoroughfare.
