Controlling the Speed
The scooter’s speed is adjusted by the throttle control. Rotate the control
counterclockwise slowly to increase the speed, and rotate the control
clockwise to decrease the scooter’s speed.
Using the Brakes
The brakes work best when the front and rear brakes are applied at the
same time. To apply the brakes:
Roll off the throttle quickly, and squeeze the front brake lever while
putting pressure on the rear brake lever with your left hand.
Do not apply the brakes too quickly or apply the brakes while in a turn, as
loss of traction and control may result.
Wet conditions will affect brake effectiveness. It is advisable to give
yourself twice the normal braking distance in wet or slippery conditions.
Take extra care while riding in these conditions.
Test your brakes after washing your scooter or riding through a large pool
of water. If this happens, apply the brakes gently until they dry themselves
and work effectively again.
Stopping the Scooter
Roll off the throttle and steer the scooter to the side of the road. Gently
apply the front brake with your right hand, and at the same time apply the
rear brake with your left hand.
Extend your left foot just before coming to a complete stop so as to keep
the scooter upright when it stops.
Turn off the ignition key and dismount the scooter on the left side.
Exit the scooter on the left side and use your right foot to extend the side
stand of the scooter. If the scooter is to be parked for an extended period
of time, use the center stand instead.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The scooter should be inspected at monthly intervals using the following list of
items to check.
Use a flat area and support the scooter in an upright position.
Use caution if the engine and exhaust assembly are hot!
Never start the engine in an enclosed area.
If you find a problem correct it immediately. To do otherwise is unsafe.
