while the key is in the on position, the scooter will not run until the manual freewheel
lever is pushed down and the key is turned to the off position, then back to the on
position.
Batteries (Not Shown)
The batteries store electrical energy that powers your scooter. See V. Batteries and Charging.
Anti-Tip Wheels
The anti-tip wheels are an integral and important safety feature of your scooter. Do not, under any circumstances,
remove the anti-tip wheels from your scooter.
Motor/Transaxle Assembly
The motor/transaxle assembly is an electromechanical unit that converts electrical energy from your scooters
batteries into the controlled mechanical energy that drives the scooters wheels.
WARNING! When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.
n
Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.

Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.

Stand behind the scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on a
scooter to do this.
n
After you have finished pushing your scooter, always return it to the drive mode to lock
the brakes.
Failure to heed the above could result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
WARNING! Do not remove the anti-tip wheels or modify your scooter in any way that is not
authorised by Pride.
