6. Finger control: To operate, turn the key to the “on” or “I” position on the ignition. Pull the right hand lever
towards you and the machine moves forward. The more you pull the lever the faster the scooter goes. To
brake, release the lever. Again the faster the lever is released the quicker you will stop. To reverse, pull the
left lever towards you. Do not pull both levers at once. Note. The controls can be changed for customers
with a left-hand bias. Please contact your local dealer for information.
Charging Point: The charging point is situated on the front face of the removable battery pack. (see Battery
Charging section for further instructions).
Freewheel Device
When the vehicle is switched off the brakes are automatically
engaged. This is called “Failsafe Braking”. Also, if the batteries are
flat, the brakes are automatically applied. There may be occasions
where you may wish to move the vehicle without power. To do this
there is a Freewheel Device fitted.
The Freewheel device allows the vehicle to be pushed without power.
To activate, first locate the lever. When standing behind the scooter, it is
located on the right hand side of the rear of the vehicle - See Illustration.
• Make sure the On/Off (ignition) key is in the off position.
• Move the lever UP The vehicle can now be pushed in Freewheel.
• Move the lever DOWN to engage drive. The vehicle is now braked. This is the normal operating position.
• IF YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY SURE OF THIS FEATURE CONTACT
YOUR DEALER BEFORE OPERATING THE SCOOTER.
NOTE: To avoid excessive strain on the tiller / handlebar assembly, never push or pull the scooter in
freewheel mode if a user is on-board. Pull the lever UPWARDS to engage freewheel mode (no brakes -
caution). Push the lever DOWNWARDS to engage Drive mode.
Warning! If the freewheel device is in “freewheel” mode, the braking is disabled. Never select the
freewheel mode if the Scooter is on a slope or could be pushed onto a slope.
Brakes
There are 2 braking systems. The first works with the finger controls. When the finger control is released the
scooter will automatically brake and bring the scooter to a stop. When the scooter stops the automatic
brake will engage. This will stop the vehicle rolling forward or backward. When you start the brake will
automatically disengage. If the battery should run out, the brakes automatically engage. Note that even when
freewheel is selected, a secondary braking system is applied automatically to limit the maximum speed. You
may notice this system causing drag when moving the scooter in freewheel mode
Warning! If the freewheel device is in “freewheel” the automatic braking is disabled. Never select the
freewheel device if the scooter is on a slope or could be pushed onto a slope.
