The Controls And Instrument Panel - TGA MAXIMO Operating Instructions And Owner's Handbook

4. THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL

1. Speed Control Levers - The speed of the Maximo is controlled by the levers located on the left and the right
of the instrument console. Primarily the right hand lever is the forward speed control and the left hand lever is
reverse. However both levers can do both functions simply by pushing up or down. Either lever can be operated
by thumb and obviously left or right handed people are accommodated. Always use the lever gently, remembering
that the more you move the lever, the quicker you will go. To stop simply release the lever, the braking is
completely automatic and when the Maximo has stopped the parking brake will engage and stay on until the lever
is pushed/pulled again.
2. Horn – Buttons located on the left side of the instrument panel. The buzzer will automatically sound when using
reverse.
3. Head Light Switch - This switches on front headlight and rear lights and is located in the centre of the
instrument panel.
4. Power On/Off Switch – The Maximo has a removable key which should be taken out when the scooter is not
in use. When the key is inserted the switch has two positions, "off" where there will be no power to the machine
and the parking brake will be engaged and "on" where the machine is ready for use.
5. On Light – When the key is turned on, the 'ON' light on the instrument panel will be illuminated.
6. Pre – Select Speed Control – This is located on the right of the instrument panel. It is extremely useful when
shopping in supermarkets etc, as although your speed is still controlled by the speed control levels the pre-select
control will if turned fully anti clockwise limit your speed to around 2mph. Turning the control fully clockwise is the
maximum speed of 4mph.
