Brintal Ypush
Owner’s Manual and Service Record
12
Thumb throttle:
The Ypush can be pushed manually, or used with
Power-assistance at any time, by pressing the thumb throttle.
Power-assist:
The throttle control
5
is actuated using thumb pres-
sure, as shown by the green arrow.
Note:
Brake handles MUST both
be pressed down as shown by the black arrow, to release both brakes
before
the throttle is used.
Never
press the throttle when the brakes are
on. Gently press down the throttle lever as shown by the green arrow,
and the Ypush will start moving along. Adjusting the pressure on the
throttle lever will proportionately adjust the speed.
Note:
Fully pressed,
the Ypush will accelerate towards the pre-set maximum speed.
Release the thumb throttle and the vehicle will no longer have Power-
assist and will freewheel along. If the attendant releases pressure on the
brake handles, allowing them to pivot back up, the automatic braking
will be applied.
Forward and Reverse button:
To switch between forward and reverse
Power-assist, first come to a stand-still and press the Reverse button
R
as shown by the white arrow.
6
When switched into reverse, 3 short
beeps will be heard to alert the attendant to the fact that reverse has been
engaged, and the red LED light on the left dash panel will start flashing.
This red LED will continue to flash until the Ypush is switched back to
forward by pressing the Reverse button again. Be very careful that there
is ample space behind you (the attendant) to be able to safely complete
a reversing manoeuvre. If you become worried at any time, first simply
release the throttle lever, and then release pressure on the brake levers to
come to a complete standstill.
Note:
In reverse the maximum speed pos-
sible is slower.
Sleep mode:
If the Ypush is left switched on and not used for 30 min-
utes, it will go into "Sleep mode" to save battery power. All throttle and
ignition LED’s will go out. To reset, simply turn the key to the off position,
wait a moment, and then turn back to the on position.
Note:
If the Ypush goes into sleep mode after being used in reverse,
upon start-up it will automatically revert to forwards mode, but in that
instance will require 2 presses of the button to go back into reverse.
On-board Battery Charging Point:
A Battery Charging Socket is situ-
ated inside the left hand casing
7
under the armrest. The socket is
protected by a rubber cover A which must be removed before charging
and replaced afterwards. For further details see page 20.
USB Power socket:
Devices with a USB plug, may be connected with a
maximum consumption not exceeding 2.0Amps. To connect, remove the
rain cap by unscrewing it anti-clockwise and connect your USB device.
8
Replace the cap when the port is not in use to protect from moisture.
