, check the operation and the
condition of the brake, please follow these steps:
• Try to push the scooter with the key switch in the OFF position.
This test is successful if you cannot
push the scooter.
• Switch the scooter ON with the key switch, repeat the test, again
the test is successful if you cannot
push the scooter.
• Sit on the scooter and push the throttle lever slightly, until you
hear the parking brake click. This indicates the parking brake
was released correctly. If you did not hear the click sound,
please try again, you may have missed it because of
background noise.
If one the tests described above did not get the right result, you should
call your dealer and get a service person to repair the scooter.
The brake automatically compensates for wear and cannot be adjusted.
Now continue to check the freewheel mechanism for the parking brake,
please follow these steps:
• Switch the scooter OFF using the key switch.
• Rotate the knob for the freewheel mechanism clockwise as
indicated in §3.8.
• Check if you can push the scooter freely, if so the test was
successful.
• Now switch the scooter ON using the key switch.
• Check if you hear the alarm signal sound indicating the parking
brake was released. If you can hear the uninterrupted signal the
test was successful.
• Rotate the knob back into the original position for driving (§3.8)
the signal should now stop.
If one of the above tests does not produce the desired result, contact
your dealer and ask for service.
