• Pull your right hand finger lever, the scooter will move forward slowly. The harder you pull
the faster the scooter goes but will only reach the speed level that has been selected.
• Release the lever and the scooter will slowly come to a stop and the magnetic brake will be
applied.
Steering
Steering the scooter is light and easy. Ensure when starting off you give a wide clearance when
turning so that the rear wheels clear any obstacle that you are passing. When steering through
limited spaces such as a doorway or when turning around, turn the tiller handles where you want
to go and apply power gently. The scooter will turn very tightly, but will still move with
complete stability as long as the speed is not too high.
Reversing
Before reversing ensure that the area behind is free from any hazards or obstructions. Adjust
your speed setting to a low setting before you reverse. Pull/press the left thumb/finger lever, and
steer wide of all corners and obstacles.
Dismounting
Before dismounting ensure that the key is turned to the off position.
CAUTION: Please ensure that care is exercised when entering
or leaving the scooter and that the tiller and foot rest is not used for support.
EXTRA GUIDELINES IN THE CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER
Ramps
The stability of your scooter is governed by several factors such as the seating position, the angle
of the slope and your height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so directly and not at
an angle and whenever possible avoid making turns. When going down a ramp or slope keep the
speed settings to slow. This will ensure there is a safe controlled descent. When the finger
levers are released the scooter will slowly stop.
Caution - Do not turn off the control key while the unit is in motion
Grass and Gravel
Please follow the guidelines given previously and your scooter will perform admirably over
many surfaces. Avoid long grass, loose gravel and sand.
NOTE: You should not operate your scooter in wet weather or on wet surfaces. This may
cause the motor to sort out.
