STARTING TO DRIVE YOUR SCOOTER

Getting Started  

• 

You must charge your scooter completely before first time use (8-12 hours). 

• 

Select a level area with plenty of space. 

• 

Mount the scooter, either by lifting the arm and sliding onto the seat or rotate the seat outwards, mount 
and then rotate the seat back to face the tiller. 

• 

Adjust the tiller and seat as previously described 

Starting Scooter Movement

• 

Ensure that you are seated in a comfortable position. 

• 

Turn the key to the ON position. 

• 

Your speed setting should be on 1 or 2. If equipped, set the speed high/low switch to low. 

• 

Pull/press your right hand finger/thumb lever, the scooter will move forward slowly.  The further you 
pull/press the faster the scooter goes but will only reach the speed level that has been selected. 

• 

Release the lever and the scooter will slowly come to a stop as the magnetic brake is automatically 
applied. 

 
Steering 

Steering the scooter is light and easy.  Ensure when starting off you give a wide clearance when turning so 
that the rear wheels clear any obstacle that you are passing.  When steering through limited spaces such as 
a doorway or when turning around, turn the tiller handles where you want to go and apply power gently.  
The scooter will turn very tightly, but will still move with complete stability as long as the speed is not too 
high. 

 
Reversing  

Before reversing ensure that the area behind is free from any hazards or obstructions.  Adjust your speed 
setting to a low setting before you reverse. Pull/press the left finger/thumb lever, and steer wide of all 
corners and obstacles. 
 

Dismounting 

Before dismounting ensure that the key is turned to the off position. Raise the arm rest to slide off the seat 
or turn the swivel seat outward. 
 

CAUTION: Please ensure that care is exercised when mounting or dismounting the scooter and that 
the tiller, seat back and foot rest are not used for support. For support, use the arm rests.
