V. OPERATION
DC Battery Voltage Meter
This meter (see figure 5) shows the amount of voltage in your Patriot’s batteries.
• Green indicates a full charge on the batteries.
• Yellow indicates caution and approximately a one-half charge of the batteries.
• Red indicates that the batteries have less than one-half of a charge remaining.
See section X. “Care and Maintenance” for instruction concerning charging the batteries.
Delta Tiller Throttle Control Lever
The Delta Tiller enables you to use only one hand (either the right or left) to operate both
the speed and the direction of the Patriot. This self-centering lever system controls your
Patriot’s speed (up to the maximum speed set by the speed adjustment dial) and its forward
and reverse direction. See figure 5.
To drive forward use either of the following:
• Use your right hand fingers to pull back on the right side of the throttle control lever.
• Use your left thumb to push the left side of the throttle control lever.
Always bring your Patriot to a full stop before changing direction from
forward to reverse, or from reverse to forward.
To drive in reverse use either of the following:
• Use your left hand fingers to pull back on the left side of the throttle control lever.
• Use your right thumb to push the right side of the throttle control lever.
When the throttle control lever is completely released, it automatically returns to the center
“stop” position and engages your scooter’s brakes, bringing you to a complete stop. You will
hear a “click” when the park brake engages.
Control Options
Golden Technologies, Inc. has made provision for the individual needs and abilities of the
operators of the Golden Patriot.
Your authorized Golden Technologies, Inc. dealer can reverse the throttle control lever
controls so that when you pull on the left side of the lever, your scooter will move in the
forward direction, and when you pull on the right side of the lever your scooter will move in
the reverse direction.
DELTA TILLER ADJUSTMENT
The tiller on your Patriot scooter employs a handle to provide you with infinite tiller angle
settings. To set the tiller to your liking, follow these directions.
1. Use one hand to grasp and squeeze the tiller handle.
2. While squeezing the handle, position the tiller to a comfortable driving position.
4. Release the handle to lock the tiller in place.
