Caution! Never leave the scooter unattended whilst in freewheel mode
as it will roll away down an incline. ‘Freewheel’ mode should only be
used in an emergency to move the scooter due to power failure. NEVER
move the scooter in this mode whilst it is occupied.
Starting to Drive
Getting Started
Note: You must fully charge the batteries prior to first use (see ‘Batteries
and Charging’)
Select an area with plenty of space.
Mount the scooter by either lifting the arm and sliding onto the seat or swivel
the seat around to access the scooter. Ensure the seat is securely locked
in the forward facing position before driving. Adjust the tiller and seat if
necessary (see ‘Adjustments’). DO NOT use the tiller to fully support you
during transfers.
Moving Off
Turn the key clockwise to turn on the power. Initially set the speed control to a
low setting. Push your right thumb lever and the scooter will move forward
slowly. The further you push the lever the faster the scooter will travel, but
only to the maximum speed that has been selected. Release the lever and the
scooter will come to a smooth controlled stop.
Caution! DO NOT switch off the power to stop the scooter as this will
cause the transmission to lock and the scooter will come to a sharp
stop, which could possibly cause injury. This procedure should only be
used in an emergency.
Steering
Steering the scooter is light and easy. Ensure you give obstacles a wide
clearance to avoid the rear wheels catching. When steering through limited
spaces, turn the tiller in the direction that you wish to go and apply power
gently. The scooter can turn very tightly with complete stability at slow
speeds.
Caution! NEVER turn sharply at high speeds (when speed is set in the
red area on the dial) as it can make the scooter unstable, which could
lead to injury.
Reversing
Before reversing ensure the area behind the scooter is free from any
obstacles or hazards. Adjust the speed setting to low before you reverse.
Press the left thumb lever, and steer wide of all corners and obstacles.
Caution! Do not reverse onto a main thoroughfare.
