Controls
Before driving your vehicle it is important to
familiarise yourself with the controls. Do not attempt
to drive the vehicle before reading the rest of this
Manual.
Dashboard Description
1. Battery Indicator:
Battery Indicator: This
indicator shows the level of charge in the batteries.
When in the green area the batteries are fully
charged. When in the yellow area the batteries need
recharging and when in the red area the batteries
urgently need recharging. Note: When the vehicle is
climbing a steep incline or starting off, the level may
drop momentarily; this is normal.
2. Speed Control:
This controls the top speed of
your scooter. When the knob is turned fully to the
left, this is the slowest speed setting, marked by
a tortoise. As the knob is turned to the right the
speed will increase to a maximum, marked by a
hare. Set the speed before you move off. Do not
adjust the speed control dial when the vehicle is
moving.
3. Power On Indicator / Status LED:
This indicator
shows the status of the scooter – either on or off.
Note. The controller has a diagnostic mode: If the
LED flashes, this indicates that the controller has
detected an error or fault. If this happens refer to
the diagnostic table at the back of this manual for
a solution.
Tip:
One of the most common “faults” is that the
scooter has been switched on with the free-wheel
function enabled– Just turn the power on/off key to
the off position, position the freewheel lever in drive
and turn the ignition key back to the ON position.
4. Horn:
Press the button and the horn will sound.
Release and the horn will cease.
5. Ignition Key:
Dependent on the model of scooter,
the ignition key may have to be pushed in before you
can turn the vehicle on or off. Remember to remove
the key when not in use. Do not leave the ignition
on when not in use, especially when charging the
vehicle.
6. Finger control:
To operate, turn the key to the
“on” or “I” position on the ignition. Pull the right
hand lever towards you and the machine moves
forward. The more you pull the lever the faster the
scooter goes. To brake, release the lever. Again the
faster the lever is released the quicker you will stop.
To reverse, pull the left lever towards you. Do not
