Adjustments Tiller Angel Adjustment At the bottom right hand side of the scooter you will find the angle adjustment handwheel. To adjust the angle, loosen the handwheel by turning anti-clockwise. Once the desired angle is achieved tighten by rotating clockwise. Ensure the tiller is fully secure before using the scooter. Seat Swivel The seat has a lockable swivel base to allow easier transfers.
Seat Removal To remove the seat, fold down the back of the seat and simply lift the seat away from the chassis while lifting the seat swivel lever. Caution: Do not hang baggage or other objects on the back of the seat as this may affect stability.
Tiller Controls Battery Gauge (1) This gauge gives you a guide to the amount of charge left in the scooters batteries. This will give the truest reading when the scooter is in motion. Note: Always fully charge the batteries before driving your scooter and never let the batteries become completely drained, as this may cause permanent damage to the batteries.
Front Lights (4) This button operates the LED headlight. On / Off Key (5) The key switch is located on the right side of the tiller. Simply insert the key and turn clockwise to switch the power on. The display will light up to indicate the power is on. There may be a slight delay before the thumb levers operate as the controller checks the scooters circuits.
Caution: Never leave the scooter unattended whilst in free wheel mode as it will roll away down an incline. ‘Free wheel’ mode should only be used in an emergency to move the scooter due to power failure. NEVER move the scooter in this mode whilst it is occupied. NEVER tow the scooter.
Moving Off Insert the key and switch on the power and initially set the speed control to a low setting. The further you pull the lever the faster the scooter will travel, but only to the maximum speed that has been selected.
Storage Your scooter should be stored in a dry environment, preferably a garage or shed. Tarpaulins and covers may create condensation during certain weather conditions. If your scooter is to be stored for prolonged periods, fully charge the batteries and disconnect the battery plugs.
