2. ASSEMBLY (WHERE NECESSARY)
Your Vita Midi 4 undertook a pre-delivery inspection and was tested prior to dispatch. The batteries may
have been disconnected for delivery purposes only.
The scooter should have been delivered to you in a ready to ride condition, however if for whatever
reason it was delivered in a carton please take the following action.
Remove all the items from the carton and strip the protective packaging materials off each item. Returns
are only accepted when the product is shipped in the original cartons with the original packing material
installed. In order to fit in the carton, the seat back and tiller will be folded down.
Removal and Replacement of seat – To remove seat, pull the large lever located under the seat at the
right hand side upwards towards the base of the seat and lift straight up and out. Take care as the seat
is a fairly heavy component. Replacing the seat is just a reversal of the above.
Tiller Adjustment – Release the tiller adjusting lever by pushing down, then move the tiller up or down to
your choice.
Rear Cover Removal – Remove seat and then unscrew the three black fixing screws. These are located
each side and at the front of the cover. Once removed gently remove the cover. Replacement is just a
reversal of the above, ensuring the cover locates correctly.
Care! Warning
The Vita Midi 4 is easy to drive but it is essential that you familiarise yourself with the controls and learn to
drive it in a safe area with sufficient room to manoeuvre for your safety and that of others. The area
should be free of obstacles and reasonably flat. Mark a practice course for straight line driving, turning in
confined spaces, reversing and driving around obstacles.
3. THE CONTROLS
1. Speed Control Paddle - The speed of your Vita Midi 4 is controlled by the paddle located as default on
the right of the instrument console (Fig 1.1). The paddle can be operated by your thumb or forefinger
simply by holding a different section of the Delta handlebar. Always use the lever gently, remembering
that the more you move the paddle, the quicker you will go. To stop simply release the paddle, the
braking is completely automatic and when the scooter has stopped the parking brake will engage and
stay on until the scooter moves off again.
2. Emergency Brake - All braking on your Vita Midi 4 is automatic and the emergency brake should never
need to be used. It is only for emergency in the very unlikely event that the automatic braking fails. If used
this lever will bring you safely to a halt. The brake lever is located on the left handle bar.
3. Horn – Button located at the centre of the bottom row of buttons on the instrument console (Fig 1.2).
The buzzer will automatically sound when using reverse.
4. Indicators - Left and right hand located on the instrument console (Fig 1.3). Push the button in the
same direction as you need to turn. To stop the indicators, push the button in again.
5. Hazard Warning Lights - Operates all indicator lights together and for emergency use only (Fig 1.4)
6. Lights - This switches on and the switches between the main headlight and back up lights (Fig 1.5).
7. High/Low Speed – This button switches between High (8mph) & Low (4mph) speed (Fig 1.6).
