12.7 The control unit
The control unit is a programmable
electronic regulating unit. It regulates drive
characteristics such as acceleration,
maximum speed and braking behaviour.
The drive characteristics can be set to
match the user's requirements by altering
the programming.
Reprogramming may only be carried out by
specialist dealers.
12.8 The auto switch-off
The auto switch-off automatically switches
the scooter off after 10 minutes at a
stand- still.
This protects the batteries from being
discharged if the ForU was inadvertently
not switched off.
12.9 Brakes
The scooter is automatically braked if the
drive lever (1) is in the central position.
To apply the brakes, simply let go off the
drive lever which is then returned to its
central position by a spring.
The scooter is then braked by the drive
motor. When the scooter is at a standstill
or has been switched off, it is braked by
a magnetic brake.
