tory. See figure 8.

Motor/Transaxle Assembly
The motor/transaxle assembly consists of a geared transmission and differential. This one piece, direct drive, fully
sealed assembly provides quiet operation with maximum power and long life. See figure 8.
Anti-Tip Wheels
The anti-tip wheels are an integral and important safety feature of your Victory. Do not, under any circumstances,
remove the anti-tip wheels from your Victory. See figure 8.

WARNING! Before placing your Victory into or taking it out of freewheel mode, make
certain that the key is removed from the key switch. Even though the motor of your Victory
is disengaged from the drive system when your Scooter is put in manual freewheel mode,
the motor can still run if the throttle lever is pushed. Never sit on a Scooter when it is in
freewheel mode. Never put a Scooter in freewheel mode on any incline.
An added feature built into the scooter is push-too-fast protection which safeguards the scooter against gaining
excessive speed while in freewheel mode.
Push-too-fast operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists:
n
If the key is removed from the key switch when the scooter is in freewheel mode, the scooters controller
activates regenerative braking when the scooter is pushed faster than a maximum threshold which has been
preprogrammed. In this case, the controller is acting as a speed governor.
n
If the key is inserted into the key switch while the scooter is in freewheel mode, you will encounter considerable
resistance at any speed. This prevents the scooter from gaining unwanted momentum should the manual
freewheel lever inadvertently be released while driving the scooter.
