Part No. 1090132 Rev F 23 Invacare Scooters
USING THE HAND BRAKE LEVER/BRAKE ARM (FIGURE 6)
NOTE: The hand brake lever and brake arm are only on the PANTHER MX-4 (Without Delta
Tiller).
CAUTION
ALWAYS release throttle control lever BEFORE using the hand brake. Using
the hand brake in conjunction with the throttle control lever will cause exces-
sive wear on the brake and the stopping distance of the scooter will increase.
HAND BRAKE LEVER
1. Squeeze the hand brake lever when needing accelerated stops.
BRAKE ARM
1. The brake arm can only be used to stop the scooter when the brake-release lever is
manually disengaged. Refer to BRAKE-RELEASE LEVER in this procedure of the manual.
7. To operate the scooter, depress the throttle control lever in the following manner:
A. STANDARD TILLERS:
To move FORWARD - Push the RIGHT-SIDE of the throttle control lever.
To move in REVERSE- Push the LEFT-SIDE of the throttle control lever.
To STOP - Release the throttle control lever and the powered scooter will
quickly slow down and the brake will engage. PANTHER MX-4 - Use the hand
brake lever when needing
accelerated stops. See USING THE HAND BRAKE LEVER/BRAKE/BRAKE ARM
in this procedure of the manual.
B. DELTA TILLERS:
To move FORWARD - Pull the RIGHT-SIDE throttle control lever rearward
(toward user), or Push the LEFT-SIDE throttle control lever forward (away from user).
To move in REVERSE - Pull the LEFT-SIDE throttle control lever rearward (toward
user), or Push the RIGHT-SIDE throttle control lever forward away from user).
To STOP - Release the throttle control lever and the powered scooter will
quickly slow down and the brake will engage.
NOTE: To equip the scooter for left hand operation, contact a qualified technician.
The powered scooter is equipped with a "proportional" control meaning that the farther
you depress the throttle control lever, the faster the powered scooter will travel. With a
proportional control, you can drive as slowly in the high speed setting as you can in the
low speed setting. Your top speed, however, is limited by the setting of the speed-control
knob. For safety reasons, reverse speed is limited to approximately 50% of forward speed.
When first learning to drive, select a SLOW speed and try to drive the powered scooter AS
SLOWLY as possible by depressing the throttle control lever only slightly. This exercise will help you
learn to utilize the full potential of the proportional control and allow you to start and stop smoothly.
