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.
