TGA BREEZE S Operating Instructions And Owner's Handbook page 6

To reverse, adjust the reverse switch and
squeeze the right control lever gently and
reverse in a controlled manner. The speed in
reverse is reduced automatically for safety.
To negotiate from pavement to road, and
vice versa, you should try to find a suitable
slope. The Breeze will mount, or go down
kerbs of a height shown in the specification
section, but you should approach a kerb at
right angles (square on). You should stop
just short of the edge and:
• If you are going up; gently operate the
right control lever until the Breeze moves
forward then drive until both front and
back wheels are on the pavement, then
immediately ensure the speed selector
switch is set to 1/2 for driving on the
pavement.
• If going down, proceed slowly on low
setting until on the road, then switch to
a suitable higher speed to cross the road
safely.
The Breeze is suitable for road use BUT
great care must be taken and at the
maximum speed of 8 mph, you may present
a hazard to other faster moving road users.
WARNING!
Be especially vigilant when traversing
across a slope or gradient. When
traversing a slope, your centre of
gravity changes so there is more
danger of tipping sideways. You can
reduce any risk to yourself by travelling
slowly. Be aware that additional loads,
such as shopping bags, can also affect
the centre of gravity of you and your
scooter. Before making sharp turns,
particularly on inclines, reduce speed to
minimum to prevent side roll-over.
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, for
example. Establish what you can obtain
around your locality by gradually increasing
the distance and checking the battery
indicators at the end of each journey.
WARNING!
• DO NOT sit just on the side of the
seat when getting on or off as this may
damage the seat lower frame, which
is not covered by warranty. Rather,
swivel the seat, sit fully on the seat and
then swivel into the desired position to
get on or off. Only drive with the seat
locked in the forward facing driving
position.
• Always keep your feet on the vehicle
when driving.
WARNING!
• When used on the pavement or when
driving in confined spaces, the UK law
limits the speed to 4mph. 8mph speed
is only legal for road or off-road use.
• Do not drive your Breeze over deep,
soft terrain (e.g. soft dirt, deep grass,
loose gravel).
• Do not drive your Breeze through
deep water or clean with a high-
pressure hose.
• Stop fully before changing direction
(forward or reverse).
Should the battery run out before you get
home there are two things you can do
to avoid being stranded. Stopping and
switching off the KEY for 5 – 10 minutes will
allow the battery to recover a little power
so that you can proceed further. You can
attempt this several times. If you cannot
return to home under the battery power,
there is a 'free wheel' mode that will allow
someone to push your scooter home, (see
Parking Brake Release).
Reducing the speed will also reduce the
power. For climbing obstacles or hills you
will need to increase the speed setting to
give the power and then control the speed
with the levers.
Before leaving the scooter, switch the
ignition off. Remove the on/off key for
security.
