2. Set speed at the lowest setting.
3. Turn the tiller to the direction in which you wish to drive.
For more information on dealing with obstacles and tight spots, see "Control Through Tight

Steering in Reverse
Backing up your Buzzaround XL requires attention to what you are doing.
 Use extreme caution when operating your scooter in reverse.
 Plan your route to avoid getting into a difficult situation.
 Make sure your proposed route is clear of people, pets, and obstacles.
1. Use your right fingers to push the throttle control lever or use your left fingers to pull
back on the throttle control lever. See figure 5 on page 16.
2. Turn the tiller to the left to drive in reverse to the left.
3. Turn the tiller to the right to drive in reverse to the right.
Your Buzzaround XL's speed in reverse is fifty percent of the speed set at the
speed control dial.
Prevent injury! Do not drive down an incline in reverse.
