4. Turn the tiller knob clockwise to tighten. Iss 3 17 Tiller control functions Tiller control functions Hand Controls All of the drive controls for the scooter are to be found on the Tiller Control Box (Photo 5). The Pre-set Speed Knob Turning this knob to the left, reduces your available maximum speed. Turning it to the right, increases the available maximum speed. The Battery Gauge This gives an approximation of battery charge. The gauge is marked from “E” empty, to “F” full. For extra clarity there is a coloured graduated scale ranging from RED, (E) through YELLOW to GREEN, (F). As the scooter moves over differing terrain, the Battery Gauge will dip up and down, this is normal. For a more accurate indication, stop the scooter and note the reading. GREEN indicates ready for use. YELLOW indicates batteries to be charged as soon as possible. RED indicates charge batteries imediately. TIP: If you find that your battery gauge has gone into the red whilst you are out and about, you can increase the remaining range of your scooter by reducing your maximum available speed, but you MUST charge your scooter as soon as you can.

It controls the speed as well as forward and reverse motion. Pushing the right-hand side of the lever towards you with the right thumb, moves the scooter forwards. Pushing the left-hand side of the lever towards you with your left thumb, moves the scooter in reverse and sounds a reversing beeper. The more you move the lever, the more your speed increases up to its preset maximum. It is possible to operate your scooter using one side of the throttle lever. To do this you must PUSH and PULL on the chosen side of the throttle lever. Note: One-hand operation requires careful concentration and is more tiring than normal operation. Horn Button Pressing the yellow Horn button operates an audible buzzer. Use this function to warn pedestrians of your presence when necessary. On-Off Switch/Key Switch If your scooter has a key, it is horizontal when in the on position (photo 5). Make sure that this switch is in the OFF position BEFORE getting on or off the scooter. Switching this switch to OFF whilst driving, will cause the scooter to stop very abruptly. This is not recommended. To protect battery charge, your scooter is fitted with a sleep mode function. If the key switch is left on without driving for 5 minutes, the battery gauge will show full charge but the scooter will not drive. Simply turn the key off and on again and you are ready to go. Iss 3 19 Operating your Scooter Operating your Scooter Freewheel mechanism A freewheel device disengages the power drive to allow manual operation (Photo 6). The freewheel is selected by pulling up the lever which is located at the rear of the scooter. Once freewheel has been selected, the electronic drive control system is disabled to prevent driving. This is a safety feature to prevent you driving the scooter with the parking brake disengaged. To turn off the freewheel and engage the motor, simply push the lever downwards,(Photo 6). Note: Use extreme caution in the freewheel mode, especially on slopes/inclines. Letting go of your scooter whilst it is in freewheel, can cause the scooter to roll unexpectedly. This could cause damage or bodily harm. Caution! It is advisable that during the first few sessions of operating your scooter that the area around you is clear of obstacles and pedestrians. Before operating your scooter, ensure the seat height has been adjusted to your satisfaction, and the tiller angle has been set for optimum safety and comfort. Please see the “General Warnings”, “Getting on Your Scooter” and “Tiller Adjustment” sections earlier in this handbook.

Make sure you are properly seated on the scooter and that the Speed Control knob is turned fully to the left, towards the tortoise icon. Note: Reverse movement of the scooter may not occur when Speed Control Dial is turned fully anti-clockwise and reversing up a slope. 2. Turn the On-Off switch or key to the On position. 3. On tiller, use the throttle lever as described earlier. You will gently accelerate. Release and you will gently stop. Practice these two basic functions until you get used to them. 4. Steering the scooter is easy and logical. Be sure to remember to allow enough clearance when turning corners so that the rear wheels clear any obstacle. 5. Shortcutting a pavement corner can cause the back wheel to go off the pavement, causing problems, if the corner is very rough. Avoid this at all times by steering an exaggerated curve around the obstacle. 6. When steering in a tight...
