Operation
33
If the scooter is pushed too fast, the speed will automatically slow
down, or the scooter will automatically brake.
4.5.1 Free wheel position of the
scooter
•
See Fig. 000000110.
To be able to push the Fortress Winner,
the automatic parking brake has to be
de-activated as follows:
•
Move the free wheel lever (A), located
on the right-hand side of the cover,
underneath the seat, into the FREE
WHEEL (C) position. This de-
activates the automatic parking brake.
The Fortress Winner’s automatic brake is
activated again by moving the free wheel
lever to BRAKE ENGAGE position(B).
Safety precautions in the free wheel position
The scooter has been provided with a unique safety feature that prevents the
scooter from rolling too quickly while in the free wheel position. With the jack
key inserted while in the free wheel position, the motor brake will automatically
slow down the scooter to walking speed.
• Make sure the free wheel lever is in the BRAKE ENGAGE
position when you seat yourself on the scooter.
• NEVER touch the free wheel lever while driving.
• Do not touch the forward/reverse lever when you operate the free
wheel lever.
The free wheel lever should only be used if the scooter is to be
pushed. By putting the scooter in the free wheel position, the motor is
disconnected mechanically, causing the automatic parking brake of
the motor not to function. That is why, after pushing the scooter, the
lever should immediately be returned to the ‘Brake Engage’ position,
which will activate the automatic parking brake.
