1. Set the Breeze Midi speed to slow. Hold the Tiller with both hands and gently ease the control lever to move the
Breeze Midi forward. The more you pull the lever, the faster you will go. Always come to a stop before adjusting
the pre – select speed control, or forward and reverse.
2. Releasing the control lever automatically operates the brakes to slow down and stop. Once stopped, the parking
brake will automatically come on.
3. Use the Tiller to steer.
4. To negotiate from pavement to road, or road to pavement, you should try to find a suitable slope. The Breeze
Midi will mount, or go down kerbs 100mm high, but you should approach a kerb at right angles (90°). You should
stop just short of the edge and:
If you are going up; select the high speed setting then drive until both front and back wheels are on the
pavement, then immediately lower the speed.
If going down, proceed slowly on low setting until on the road, then switch to a suitable higher speed to cross the
road safely. Do not attempt kerbs higher than 100mm and do not go up or down at an angle, always 90°. Do
take extra care and if you are going from pavement to road, make sure the road is clear. Anything different to the
above could result in an accident and injury.
5. The Breeze Midi is suitable for road use BUT great care must be taken and at the maximum speed of 8 mph,
you may present a hazard to other faster moving road users. (See safe driving tips at the rear of this manual.)
6. Watch your Battery Indicator. The distance you can travel depends on many factors, the more slopes, the less
distance you can travel. We recommend that you gradually explore going further each day.
7. Should the battery “run out” before you get home there are two things you can do to avoid being stranded.
Stopping and switching off the KEY for 5 – 10 minutes will allow the battery to “recover” a little power so that you
can proceed further. You can attempt this a number of times. If you are unfortunate and cannot return to home
under the battery power there is a “Free Wheel” device that will allow someone to push the Breeze Midi and you
home (see Parking Brake Release).
8. Range is influenced by many environmental conditions, hills will substantially decrease the range. Establish what
you can obtain around your locality by gradually increasing the distance and checking the battery indicator at the
end of each journey.
9. Reducing the speed will also reduce the power. For climbing obstacles or hills you will need to increase the
speed setting to high to give the power and then control the speed with the levers.
Parking
1. Before leaving the scooter, switch the ignition off, the battery indicator will then go off. Remove the ON/OFF
Key for security.
2. If the Breeze Midi has been used in the Free Wheel mode (see Parking Brake Release), it is VERY IMPORTANT
to re-engage the drive to ensure that the scooter brake is on before you alight.
3. Flip up the armrest to make it easier to alight from the Breeze Midi, or swivel the seat through 90°.
6. TRANSPORTING BREEZE MIDI – When transporting Breeze Midi in a motor vehicle the height can be
reduced by the removal of the seat and laying the tiller flat. In addition the weight can be reduced by removal of
the batteries. Remove the top cover and unplug the plug and socket connection to each battery (described
previously). Undo the Velcro straps and remove batteries. Once loaded everything must be securely strapped
down including the scooter itself and anything removed from it. The user must never travel in a vehicle seated on
Breeze Midi but should transfer to a proper vehicle seat. CARE WARNING – All components are heavy, seek help if
you think you may injure yourself when lifting.
