Driving Your Scooter - TGA Minimo Autofold Operating Instructions And Owner's Handbook

E. Speed Adjuster – This allows you to pre-select your desired maximum speed. The adjuster
is proportional to speed and can be set anywhere between minimum and maximum. Turn the
adjuster knob fully anti-clockwise for the lowest speed and gradually rotate clockwise to
increase your maximum speed.
F. Throttle Control Levers – The throttle control also adjusts the speed of your scooter. The
further you move the control lever the faster you will go. To move forwards, pull the red right-
hand lever towards the handle bar, (as you do so you will notice the black left-hand lever
moving away from the handlebar. You can either pull the red right hand lever or push the black
left hand lever). To reverse, pull the black left-hand lever towards the handlebar.
G. Hazard Light Button (located on the end of the handlebar) – Press and release, and wait
five seconds. The front light and rear lights will flash.
H. Light Switch – The switch under the control panel will operate the front and rear lights.
Please note the front day-running light will always remain on while your scooter is in use. This
switch will put the front light on 'full beam'.
I. Autofold Button (located on the end of the handlebar) – When the scooter is turned off, press
the button and press on the foot pedal to start the automatic folding process.

DRIVING YOUR SCOOTER

Before driving your scooter, make sure the battery is fully charged and check the tyres do not
appear to be soft (see Maintenance section for details of monthly checks and tyre pressures).
Do not press the 'on' button before entering. When comfortably sat, ensure that the seat is
secure. Ensure the armrests are in the correct position.
Set your speed to low, hold the tiller handlebars 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.
Use the tiller to steer your scooter left and right. Simply move your left hand towards you to
steer left and your right hand towards you to turn right.
To reverse, pull the black left-hand throttle control lever towards the handlebar. The speed in
reverse is reduced automatically for safety; while reversing your scooter will 'beep'.
To negotiate kerbs, you should always approach as head-on, (square), as possible. If you are
going up, select a low speed setting then drive until both front and back wheels are on the
pavement. If going down, proceed slowly until on the road, then switch to a suitable higher
speed to cross the road safely.
Watch your battery condition indicator. The distance you can travel depends on many factors.
Range is influenced by many environmental conditions; hills will substantially decrease the
range. Establish what you can obtain around your locality by gradually increasing the distance
and checking the battery indicators at the end of each journey.
