◇ Never free-wheel S26 on a slope.
◇ Never free-wheel the motors while operating your vehicle.
◇ Always remember to engage the motors before turning the power ON.
◇ Do not attempt to disengage the drive motors while seated on your S26. Personal injury may result. Ask your attendant for assistance.

Electromagnetic Brakes:
Your power scooter comes with Electromagnetic Brakes., i.e. an automatic magnetic disc safety brake which is also known as
Fail-Safe brake. The electro-magnetic Brakes are automatic and work when the power scooter is ON but in a steady state (i.e.
Wigwag is released to the neutral position), even when the scooter is on a slope. The Electromagnetic Brakes will also be set
whenever the power scooter is OFF, but the motor levers are in the engaged (vertical) position.

Parking brake:

There is an automatic parking brake function included in the electromagnetic brake. The scooter will stop when the motor is engaged and the power
switch is off or when the power switch is on and the wigwag is in the neutral position. If the scooter is in the free wheel mode (motor is disengaged),
you can use the manual parking brake function by moving the engaging/disengaging lever back into the engaged position by an attendant. The
electromagnetic brake will stop the scooter when the wigwag paddle is released to the neutral position

Thermal Protection:

Your power scooter controller is equipped with a safety system called thermal rollback. A built-in circuit monitors the temperature of the controller
and motor. In case of excessive heat of the controller and motor, the controller will cut-off the power to allow the electrical components to cool
down. Although your power scooter will resume its normal speed when the temperature returns to a safe level, we recommend waiting for 5 minutes
before restarting to allow the components to cool down.
