12. Check that the tiller transport lock is
disengaged (The tiller will have a full range of
movement).
13. Check you have adjusted the seat as
instructed in this manual.
14. Make sure the way ahead is clear.
15. Switch on the power. Check the battery level
indicator is in the green area.
16. Speed Control. Set the speed control to a low
setting.
17. Gently actuate the finger controls (either for-
ward or reverse) and steer in the direction required.
The vehicle will now move off. The further you push
the paddle (either forward or reverse) the faster the
vehicle will go.
18. To brake, return the paddles to the start-
ing/neutral position. If you become unsure or feel
unsafe release the paddles immediately.
Note: Never push or pull both paddles at the same
time as you may damage your scooter’s control
system and cause it to behave erratically.
19. As you get accustomed to the power you
can increase the speed.
20. Switch off when not in use. To conserve your
batteries and prevent the vehicle accidentally mov-
ing, always switch off the power when your Scooter
is not in use. (On/Off or ignition key).
Tip: If you do leave your scooter switched on for a
prolonged period of time without using it, it will enter
a sleep mode to conserve power. To reactivate the
scooter, the On/Off key will need to be turned to the
“Off” position and then back to the “On” position.
Driving the vehicle
- hazards
1. Getting on and off the vehicle: When getting
on make sure that the vehicle is on level ground,
and not in freewheel mode. Ensure that the arm-
rests are secure. When getting off, park on level
ground, turn off the ignition and remove the key
before leaving your seat. Make sure you get off the
vehicle in a safe area.
2. Tiller Position: Drive with the tiller in an upright
position that feels comfortable with the controls
within easy reach.
3. Kerbs and Obstacles: Try to avoid kerbs and
obstacles. Never ride up or down kerbs or obstruc-
tions higher than that in the Technical Specification
Sheets. Always tackle obstacles head on. Use
ramps wherever possible and ensure that all wheels
will fit on the ramp. Always try to avoid crossing a
slope. If you have to cross a slope, take great care
to avoid tipping. Never make sharp turns on slopes
or back down a slope. Note that the anti-tip rollers
at the rear of the scooter may contact the kerb as
you descend; this is normal.
4. Hills & Slopes: Going Up Hill. Lean forward
when going up. Make sure you have enough
speed to climb the slope. Do not stop or turn the
vehicle around. If you have to turn while climbing
an incline, keep going until you reach a level area.
If you have to start on an incline, lean forward and
apply power slowly – do not start and stop. If you
are not comfortable about tackling a gradient, con-
sider an alternative route. Note: Always check that
the battery level is high; going up hill takes a lot of
energy. If the level drops too low the vehicle will cut
out leaving you stranded.
5. Hills & Slopes: Going Down Hill. Lean back
in the seat when going down, and turn the speed
control dial to low. If you are not comfortable about
tackling a gradient, consider an alternative route.

Warning! Do not use this device if the vehicle
is on a slope. Always check the seat is locked
in the forward position before driving the vehicle.
