Driving the Vehicle
- Hazards
Warning!
Do not use this device if the vehicle
is on a slope.
1. Getting on and off the vehicle:
When getting
on make sure that the vehicle is on level ground,
and not in freewheel mode. Ensure that the arm-
rests are secure. When getting off, park on level
ground, turn off the ignition and remove the key
before leaving your seat. Make sure you get off
the vehicle in a safe area.
2. Tiller Position:
Drive with the tiller in an
upright position that feels comfortable with the
controls within easy reach.
3. Kerbs and Obstacles:
Try to avoid kerbs and
obstacles. Never ride up or down kerbs or obstruc-
tions higher than that in the Technical
Specification Sheets. Always tackle obstacles
head on. Use ramps wherever possible and
ensure that all wheels will fit on the ramp. Always
try to avoid crossing a slope. If you have to cross
a slope, take great care to avoid tipping. Never
make sharp turns on slopes or back down a slope.
Note that the anti-tip rollers at the rear of the
scooter may contact the kerb as you descend; this
is normal.
12. Make sure the way ahead is clear.
13. Switch on the power with the key
(Fig.16)
Check the battery level indicator is in the green.
area.
14. Speed Control.
Set the speed control to a low
setting.
15. Gently actuate the finger controls
(either for-
ward or reverse) and steer in the direction
required. The vehicle will now move off. The
further you push the paddle (either forward or
reverse) the faster the vehicle will go.
16. To brake, return the paddles to the start-
ing/neutral position.
If you become unsure or feel
unsafe release the paddles immediately.
Note:
Never push or pull both paddles at the same
time as you may damage your scooter’s control
system and cause it to behave erratically.
17. As you get accustomed to the power you
can increase the speed.
18. Switch off at key when not in use.
To
conserve your batteries and prevent the vehicle
accidentally moving, always switch off the power
with the key when your Scooter is not in use.
(On/Off or ignition key). For longer duration of
storage than 7 days, see the
Storage
section in
the manual.
Tip: If you do leave your scooter switched on for a
prolonged period of time without using it, it will
enter a sleep mode to conserve power. To
reactivate the scooter, the On/Off key will need to
be turned to the “Off” position and then back to the
“On” position.
4. Hills & Slopes: Going Up Hill. Lean forward
when going up.
Make sure you have enough
speed to climb the slope.
Do not stop or turn the
vehicle around.
If you have to turn while climbing
an incline, keep going until you reach a level area.
If you have to start on an incline, lean forward and
apply power slowly – do not start and stop. If you
are not comfortable about tackling a gradient, con-
sider an alternative route. Note: Always check that
the battery level is high; going up-hill takes a lot of
energy. If the level drops too low the vehicle will
cut out leaving you stranded.
5. Hills & Slopes: Going Down Hill. Lean back
in the seat when going down hill,
and turn the
speed control to the lowest setting. If you are not
comfortable about tackling a gradient, consider an
alternative route.
