STARTING TO DRIVE YOUR SCOOTER
Getting Started
• Select a level area with plenty of space.
• Mount the scooter, either by lifting the arm and sliding on to the seat or rotate the seat
outwards and then rotate the seat back to face the tiller.
• Adjust the tiller and seat as described previously.
Starting Scooter Movement
• Ensure that you are seated in a comfortable position.
• Turn the key to the ON position.
• Your speed setting should be on 1 or 2.
• 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. Failure to turn the key
off may cause the scooter to move if you accidentally activate the finger levers!
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.
