Free Wheel Mode
Free-wheeling is used when you want to move your unit without riding on it.
If for reasons of convenience you need to free wheel your scooter, there are two
ways in which this can be accomplished:
By disengaging the electromagnetic brakes and by lifting the front of the unit and
letting it ride on its antitippers.
To disengage the electromagnetic
brakes, with the power “OFF”, simply
depress the freewheeling switch
located underneath the shroud, just
above the back right wheel. You can
easily get to it without having to take
the unit apart. When you are done
moving your scooter always remember
to depress the switch again. In the
event that the unit had the batteries
disconnected and therefore, unable to
disengage the electromagnetic brakes,
your scooter can still be freewheeled
by lifting the front of the unit and pulling, using the base of the tiller as a secure
handhold.
Caution Notes:
Never sit on your scooter with the free wheel in the disengaged position. When
the free wheel device is disengaged, you do not have braking function. Do not
park your scooter on a slope with the free wheel disengaged.
If your scooter is in the free-wheel mode, when you depress the speed control
you will not be able to move under motor power. Depress the free-wheel switch
once again. You will hear a clicking sound of the brakes being re-applied to be
able to start driving your scooter.
General: If you are able to push your scooter, the free-wheel switch is on and the
electromagnetic brakes are disengaged. Please check once more the above-
mentioned procedure for re-engaging the drive.
