Starting To Drive Your Scooter - Shoprider TE-889NRS Owner's Manual

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.
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.
