Operation:

Seat:

 Locate the seat slider lever with your right hand under your right thigh and slide the 

seat to the desired position. Locate the swivel knob with the right hand and pull up to 
swivel 
seat. Heavier persons may need to lift the right thigh slightly to fully release the swivel pin.  

High / Low Speed:

  Set the Hi/Lo Speed switch as desired. Ideally Hi for outdoor use 

and Lo for indoor use. It is suggested to always use the lo range to start 

Setting Maximum Speed:

   Set the Speed Control Knob to suit the driving conditions. 

Slower speeds for indoor use and faster speeds for outdoor use.  Be aware of local speed 
limits and use the speedo to adjust the maximum speed for uphill or downhill. If using for 
the first time it is advised that you should start on the slowest speed setting. 

Turn On:

  Insert the key and rotate to the on position. If left untouched for 20 minutes the 

scooter will turn off  to save power. 2 Red Leds will show. To restart simply turn the key off 
and then on again. 

Forward:

  Gently depress the control lever with your thumb or pull with your finger as 

desired, to begin driving, The more you depress or pull, the faster  the scooter will go. The 
maximum speed attained is set by the Speed Control Knob.

Reverse:

   As above but in the opposite direction.  A warning beeper will sound. It is 

possible to operate the scooter one handed with either left or right hand. Should you have 
a preference for the controls to operate opposite to the factory setting simply ask your 
dealer to reverse the polarity. 

Stopping:

  Simply release the control lever and the scooter will come to a smooth stop or 

to stop faster push the control lever into reverse. Your scooter features 2 automatic braking 
systems as well as an emergency Electronic stop system. The first  gently slows the 
scooter 
and the second holds the scooter once stopped. The Electronic brake operates by 
thrusting 
the throttle lever into reverse. 

Steering

: Smoothly turn the control tiller in the direction you want to go.  On tight turns it 

is suggested the speed control  be set to the slowest speed before turning the tiller 
sharply.

Indicators:

  Flick the indicator switch as required to the left or right to start the indicator 

flashing. A beep will sound until you flick the indicator switch to the centre position after 
completing your turn.

Horn:

  Push the horn buttons as required using right or left hand. 

Lights:

 Push the Headlight switch located on the control panel to turn on the light and 

push again to switch off. As the lights run from the same battery source as the motor it is 
best to only use the light when required. 

 

Do Not  pull release the Red seat disassembly pin with your left hand while seated on, or 
using the scooter.
