Starting To Drive; Checklist; Moving Off - Shoprider Valencia User Manual

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.
Caution:
Never sit on the scooter and free wheel down a hill as this can cause permanent damage
to the motor, brake and controller due to excessive regenerative braking. As above the
scooter can only be moved at a walking pace when in freewheel mode.

Starting to Drive

Getting Started
Check list
Please check the following before moving
• You must fully charge the batteries prior to first use. ('See Batteries and Charging')
• Select an area of space.
• Mount the scooter by lifting the arm and sliding into the seat.
• Ensure the seat is securely locked in the forward position before driving.
• Adjust the tiller and seat if necessary. ( See 'Adjustments')
• Do not use the tiller to fully support you during transfer.
The scooters speed and direction is controlled by the 'wig-wag' lever. The arrows shown in the image
above show the direction in which the scooter will move when the lever is operated as indicated.

Moving Off

Turn the key clockwise to turn on the power.
Initially set the speed control to a low setting. Push your right thumb lever (yellow) and the scooter will
move forward slowly.
The further you push the lever the faster the scooter will travel, but only to the maximum speed that
has been selected. Release the lever and the scooter will come to a smooth controlled stop.
Caution:
Do not switch off the power to stop the scooter as this will cause the transmission to lock
and the scooter will come to a sharp stop, which could possibly cause injury. This
procedure should only be used in an emergency.
