Transferring out should be done in reverse order.
4.5 Pushing the scooter
In the case of calamities, a malfunction, of if the batteries have insufficient capacity to
provide energy for the drive system, the scooter may also be pushed.
Pushing the scooter may also be useful if this is required because of the narrow space
in which the scooter has to be parked, or if it simplifies an action:
• Switch off the scooter using the contact plug.
• Switch on the neutral. See ‘Neutral position of the scooter.
If the scooter is pushed too fast, the speed will automatically slow
down, or the scooter will automatically brake.
4.5.1 Neutral position of the
scooter
See Fig. 000000110.
To be able to push the Winner, the parking
brake has to be switched off as follows:
• Move the neutral handle (A), located on the
right-hand side of the hood, underneath the
seat, in the RELEASE BRAKE (C) position.
This way, the automatic parking brake is
switched off.
The Winner’s drive is switched on again by
moving the neutral handle to the APPLY BRAKE (B) position.
Safety precautions in the neutral position
The scooter has been provided with a unique safety precaution, which prevents a
speed that is too high and dangerous to be achieved while in the neutral position, i.e.
with the brake function switched off. With the electronics switched on, while in neutral
position, the motor brake will automatically slow down the scooter to walking speed.
Next to this handle, the sticker showing the ‘Neutral’ indicator is mounted.
• Make sure that the neutral is in the APPLY BRAKE position
when you seat yourself on the scooter.
• NEVER operate the neutral while driving.
• Do not touch the operating handle for forward or reverse driving
when you operate the neutral.
The neutral handle should only be used if the scooter is to be
pushed. By putting the scooter in the neutral position, the motor is
disconnected mechanically, causing the parking brake of the motor
not to function. That’s why, after pushing, this handle should
immediately be returned to the ‘drive’ position, which will activate
the parking brake.
