8.5 USING THE BRAKES
1. Using the motor electromagnetic brake:
When the throttle control lever is released and returns
to the center position, the brake is engaged to stop the
scooter.
Emergency braking = let go of the drive lever:
The throttle control
lever automatically
returns to the central
position if you let go, the
scooter automatically
brakes.
2. Using the handbrake:
To use the handbrake, pull
the brake lever (1) slowly
towards the handlebar.
Tipping hazard
Pulling the brake lever too harshly can cause the
scooter to tip over.
Pull the brake lever slowly to brake.
8.6 OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The overload protection switches the power off when the
motor becomes overloaded while trying to climb over
too high an obstacle, such as a curb or trying to climb
too steep of an incline.
If the motor is overloaded, the following happens:
• The scooter becomes noticeably slower and then stops
• The control system shuts down the scooter
To rectify this:
Switch the scooter off and allow it to cool down for a
few minutes.
Switch the scooter on and reverse away from the
obstacle (such as a curb) and then avoid the obstacle.
