Brake Release / Freewheel Operation
The release lever for the electro-
magnetic brake is situated under
the rear right of the scooter.
Ensure that the power is switched
off.
In the event of power failure or the
need to move the scooter without
driving, the electro-magnetic brake
can be disengaged by a pulling the
red lever upwards – this will then
put the scooter in ‘freewheel’
mode. To re-engage the brakes
push the lever down fully and
ensure that the brake is engaged before
entering the scooter.
Release Lever
Caution! NEVER leave the scooter unattended whilst in freewheel mode
as it will roll away down an incline. ‘Freewheel’ mode should only be
used in an emergency to move the scooter due to power failure. NEVER
move the scooter in this mode whilst it is occupied. Your scooter will
continually bleep if it is switched on when in this mode.
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 either lifting the arm and sliding onto the seat or swivel
the seat around to access the scooter.
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.
Moving Off
Turn the key clockwise to turn on the power. Initially set the speed control to a
low setting. Push your right thumb lever and the scooter will move forward
slowly. The further you push 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.
