Rascal Smilie - Controls

Controls
Before driving your vehicle, it is important to
familiarise yourself with the controls. Do not
attempt to drive the vehicle before reading the rest
of this Manual.
Tip: One of the most common “faults” is that the
scooter has been switched on with the free-
wheel
function enabled–
Just turn the power on/off key
to the of
f position, position the freewheel lever in
drive and turn the ignition key back to the ON
position.
Dashboard Description
1. Battery Indicator/Status Indicator:
Battery Indicator
: This indicator shows the level of
charge in the batteries. When in the green area the
batteries are fully charged. When in the yellow
area the batteries need recharging and when in the
red area the batteries urgently need recharging.
Note: When the vehicle is climbing a steep incline
or st
arting off, the level may drop momentarily; this
is normal.
Status Indicator:
The controller has a diagnostic
mode: If the LED flashes, this indicates that the
controller has detected an error or fault. If this
happens refer to the diagnostic table at the
back of
this manual for a solution.
4. Horn: Press the button and the horn will
sound. Release and the horn will cease.
5. Ignition Key: Dependent on the model of
scooter, the ignition key may have to be pushed
in
before you
can turn the vehicle on or off.
Remember to remove
the key when not in use. Do
not leave the ignition
on when not in use, especially when charging
the vehicle, folding or un-folding.
2. Speed Control: This controls the top speed of
your scooter. Press the right-
button with hare
symbol to increase maximum speed limit. Press
the left-
button with tortoise symbol to decrease the
maximum speed limit. One lit segment of the
display will indicate slower speed
limit and three lit
segments indicate faster speed limit. Set the
speed before you move off.
Do not adjust the
speed control dial when the vehicle is moving.
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.
3. Power-On Indicator / Status LED: This
indicator shows the status of the scooter –
either
on or off.
