ORBITER MANUAL

3.0    Introduction

The   Tornado   ORBITER   is   a   single   rider,   battery   powered   free   roving   vehicle.   As
delivered it consists of three basic parts. The ORBITER, the batteries (two per Orbiter)
and the chargers.

Note! 

If your ORBITERS are fitted with any optional equipment (e.g. Ridemaster, Hit & Spin)
you should read this manual in conjunction with the supplementary Owners Manual(s)
supplied with the vehicles.

3.1  The ORBITER

The Orbiter is a single rider battery powered vehicle designed for use in amusement areas.
The chassis is manufactured from mild steel and painted with black powder coat. The
vehicle is surrounded by a pneumatic bumper. This is designed to offer protection to the
vehicle in the event of a collision but it should be noted that the vehicle is not designed as
a “bumper car”. The body is moulded in one piece in glass reinforced plastic. The vehicle
is steered using the two control sticks positioned each side of the seat. These control each
of the motors which drive the main wheels.

The principal features of the ORBITER are shown in Figures 3.1 & 3.1a below.
