Accelerating and Decelerating
The throle is on the handlebars (see Operaon for more informaon). Use this carefully
when situated on the mobility scooter to go forward and release to decelerate.
Warning
Do not acvate the accelerator unl you are seated on the mobility scooter and are ready
to accelerate. The mobility scooter can easily escape from your control, possibly injuring
you or others, and the mobility may be damage.
Stopping
Your Mobility Scooter has front and rear hydraulic disc brakes. These are acvated by
pressing the foot pedal (see the braking secon). YWhen the brakes are acvated, the
power to the engine is automacally turned o, unl you release the brakes. This allows
you to stop safely.
Safety Tips
• When you are traveling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to funcon
less eciently because it reduces fricon between the brake pads and the wheels.
• Take care to slow down and give yourself more room to stop or slow if necessary.
• It is a good idea to have your brakes and brake pads checked regularly. The brake
pads will eventually wear down through fricon, and aer signicant use will have to
be replaced.
• Engage the rear brakes rst before the front brakes to avoid ipping the unit.
