the path of the front ones, instead of cutting short. Cutting short on pavement corners can
mean that a back wheel will go off the pavement, causing a stability problem. Avoid this
at all times by steering an exaggerated, wide arc around the obstacle.
If you must steer in a tight spot, such as entering a doorway or when turning around, stop
and turn the handle bars to where you want to go, and then apply the power gently. This
will make the scooter turn sharply. It will still go gently and with complete stability.
Practice in an open area until you are proficient.
Reversing requires attention. Be sure your ‘speed control dial’ is turned to ‘slow’ before
you reverse. Push the left thumb reverse lever. Remember; when you reverse you have
to steer in the opposite direction of the way you want to go. Practice is required, again
use open space.
REMEMBER : If it is a tight turn, turn your steering column before applying power. Steer
wide of all corners and obstacles; please move slowly and with care.
WARNING NOTE: Do not turn off your scooter while it is in motion. Failure to
observe this warning may irreparably damage the main electronic speed control
unit or drive transmission. Always slow your scooter down to a stationary position
before you switch the scooter off.
Control Through Tight Spots
When you start using your scooter you will meet some obstacles that will require some
practice to drive through smoothly.
Here are some common problems, with tips that will help you master them quickly. You
will soon be in control through doors, up and down ramps, up and over curbs, through
grass and gravel, with surprising ease by following these tips.
Control Through Doors
Approach an unfamiliar door slowly, sizing it up. Does it have a knob or a push bar? Does
it open towards you, or away? Think in terms of using the power of the scooter to do the
work for you! You need not strain.
Hold the doorknob or bar in one hand and apply power with the other hand (remember
that you can drive forward by using your left thumb to move the throttle lever towards
you). If the door is self-closing, you can go through, allowing the door to close behind
you. If the door is not self-closing, just stop when you are clear of the door and push it
closed.
If the door opens towards you, hold the knob or bar with one hand and gently let the
reverse power do the work. When the door is open wide enough, go ahead quickly,
leaving your hand on the door to keep it free of the scooter and letting go as you pass the
