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. If equipped, set the speed high/low switch to low.
• Pull/press your right hand finger/thumb lever, the scooter will move forward slowly. The
further you pull/press 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 as the magnetic brake is
automatically 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 finger/thumb lever, and
steer wide of all corners and obstacles.

Dismounting

Before dismounting ensure that the key is turned to the off position. Raise the arm rest to slide
off the seat or turn the swivel seat outward.
CAUTION: Please ensure that care is exercised when mounting or dismounting the scooter
and that the tiller, seat back and foot rest are not used for support. For support, use the arm
rests.

of the slope and your height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so directly and not at
an angle and whenever possible avoid making turns. When going down a ramp or slope keep the
speed settings to slow.
