Manual Freewheel Lever
Whenever you need or want to push your Laser for short distances, you can put it in manual freewheel mode.
WARNING! Before placing your Laser into or taking it out of freewheel mode, make certain that the
key is removed from the key switch. Even though the motor of your Laser is disengaged from the
drive system when your Sport Scooter is put in manual freewheel mode, the motor can still run if
the throttle lever is pushed. Never sit on a Sport Scooter when it is in freewheel mode. Never put a
Sport Scooter in freewheel mode on any incline.
n The manual freewheel lever is located on the end of the motor/transaxle assembly at the right rear of the Laser.
See figure 8.
n Pull up on the manual freewheel lever to disable the drive system and the brake system.
n You may push your Laser.
n Push down on the manual freewheel lever to reengage the drive system and the brake system and take your
Laser out of freewheel mode.
Motor/Transaxle Assembly
The motor/transaxle assembly is the electromechanical unit that converts the electrical energy of your Laser’s
batteries into the controlled mechanical energy that drives the Laser’s wheels. See figure 8.
Anti-Tip Wheels
The anti-tip wheels are an integral and important safety feature of your Laser. They are located at the rear of the
Laser. Do not, under any circumstances, remove the anti-tip wheels from your Laser.
Charger Power Cord Receptacle
The charger power cord plugs into your Laser’s battery charger by means of the charger power cord receptacle.
Fuses
The fuses help protect your Laser’s lighting, control console assembly, and charging systems from receiving an
overload of electrical current. The fuses used in the Laser are the same type used in automobiles.
n The control console assembly uses a 3-amp fuse.
n The rear lights use a 3-amp fuse.
n The charging system uses a 5-amp fuse.
If a fuse must be replaced (see figures 9 and 10), use only the specified amp fuse. For more information on
replacing a fuse, see XII. “Care and Maintenance.”

WARNING! Failure to use properly rated fuses may cause damage to the Laser’s electrical system
and may result in personal injury.
