Rascal 309 & 329LE Scooter Owner’s Manual & Service Record
Freewheel Device
When the vehicle is switched off the brakes are automatically
engaged. This is called “Failsafe Braking”. Also, if the batteries are
flat, the brakes are applied. There may be occasions where you may
wish to move the vehicle without power. To do this there is a
Freewheel Device fitted.
The Freewheel device allows the vehicle to be pushed without power.
To activate, first locate the lever. When standing behind the scooter, it
is located on the right hand side of the rear of the vehicle - See Illustration.
• Make sure the ignition is switched off.
• Move the lever
UP
The vehicle can now be pushed in Freewheel.
• Move the lever
DOWN
to engage drive. The vehicle is now braked. This is the normal operating position.
