rotate the key anti clockwise.
C. Battery Condition Indicator – When your scooter is switched on the needle on the indicator will
move across from the left 'Red' sector to the 'Green' sector indicating the state of charge in your
batteries. As the charge is used up in your batteries the needle will slowly move towards the red
sector indicating the state of charge at that precise time. When the needle is pointing fully to the
right the batteries are fully charged. As the needle falls towards the red sector your batteries are
losing charge and when the needle is in the red sector your batteries need to be recharged. For
more information see the Charging Your Scooter section.

your maximum speed.

you push the control the faster you will go.

quick stop.

DRIVING YOUR SCOOTER

Before driving your scooter make sure that the battery is fully charged, check that the tyres do not
appear to be soft (see Maintenance section for details of monthly checks and tyre pressures).
Check that the key is in the off position before entering. When comfortably sat, ensure that the
seat is secure. Ensure that the armrests are in the correct position.
Set your speed to low, hold the Tiller with both hands and gently apply pressure to the throttle
control lever to move forwards. The more pressure you apply to the lever, the faster you will go.
Remember to always come to a stop before changing from forward to reverse.
Releasing the throttle control lever automatically operates the motor brake to slow down your
scooter to a stop. Once stopped, the parking brake will automatically engage.
