Motor Braking S s
Your scooter is equipped with a system that uses the motor to aid in braking. This Motor Brake
system is designed to work when the key is in either the on position or the off position. When the
key is in the on position, the freewheel is in the engaged position, and the scooter is under power,
the motor will help slow down the scooter as soon as you take your hand off of the throttle lever.
When the key switch is in the off position and the freewheel is in the disengaged position, the motor
brake system will keep you from pushing the scooter too fast (i.e. down a slope). You may notice
this when pushing the scooter. The scooter will move freely until you reach a certain speed. You
will then encounter some resistance as the motor brake system is activated.
MEDICATION
Always check with your physician to determine if any of the medications you are taking may affect
your judgment and / or your ability to operate your Avenger . Also check with your physician
concerning your physical ability to operate a scooter.
DO NOT CONNECT OR ALLOW ANYONE EXCEPT AN AUTHORIZED GOLDEN
TECHNOLOGIES REPRESENTATIVE TO CONNECT ANY ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL DEVICE TO
YOUR AVENGER. UNAUTHORIZED ACCESSORIES WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND MAY CAUSE
INJURY.
