STARTING TO DRIVE YOUR SCOOTER 

 

First Time Use 

Prior to using your Start Portable scooter for the first time, you must charge the batteries 
fully (refer to Battery Charging Procedures). Charging may take up to 12 hours. Charging 
the batteries completely prior to first time use will benefit battery efficiency. Failure to do so 
may cause permanent damage. 
 

Getting Started  

  Select a level area with plenty of space. 

  Mount the scooter by pushing the arm upward out of the way and sliding onto the seat 

or swivel the seat around to mount. Use the arm rest for support if necessary. 

  Adjust the tiller and seat as previously described. 

 

Starting Scooter Movement 

  Ensure that you are seated in a comfortable position. 

  Turn the key to the on position. 

  Your speed setting should be on or near the turtle (slow). 

  Push  your  right  thumb  lever  (yellow)  and  the  scooter  will  move  forward  slowly.    The 

harder you push, the faster the scooter goes but will only reach the speed level that has 
been selected. 

  Release  the  lever  and  the  scooter  will  slowly  come  to  a  stop  as  the  magnetic  brake 

automatically engages. 

 

Steering 

Steering  the  scooter  is  light  and  easy.    When  starting  off  ensure  that  you  give  a  wide 
clearance  when  turning  so  that  the  rear  wheels  clear  any  obstacle  that  you  are  passing.  
When steering through limited spaces such as a doorway or when turning around, turn the 
tiller  handles  where  you  want  to  go  and  apply  power  gently.    The  scooter  will  turn  very 
tightly, but will still move with complete stability as long as the speed is not too high. 

 
Reversing  

Before  reversing  ensure  that  the  area  behind  is  free  from  any  hazards  or  obstructions.  
Adjust  your  speed  setting  to  a  low  setting  before  you  move  in  reverse.    Push  your  left 
thumb lever (black), and steer wide of all corners and obstacles. 
 

Dismounting 

Before dismounting ensure that the key is turned to the off position. 
Dismount the scooter by pushing the arm upward out of the way and sliding off the seat or 
swivel the seat around to dismount. Use the arm rest for support if necessary. 
 

CAUTION: Please ensure that care is exercised when mounting or dismounting the 
scooter and that the tiller and foot rest is not used for support.
