BRAKE & BATTERY CONNECTION
1. The motors are designed to engage the electromagnetic brakes when the vehicle is not
in use or when the power is OFF. They also have a manual feature that allows them to
"free‐wheel" so the scooter can be moved without turning it on. Free‐wheeling is
accomplished by adjusting the free‐wheeling switch to the free‐wheeling position.
2. Engaging in freewheel mode will have the function as parking brake.
WARNING
 Free‐wheel your power scooter on a slope.
 Never Never free‐wheel the motors while operating your vehicle.
 Always remember to engage the motors before turning the power ON.
 PLEASE TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE FOLDING/UNFOLDING
POWER SCOOTER
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.
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 to wait for 5 minutes before restarting to allow the components to cool
down.
In Case the switch (see the attached photo) is turned to
FREE-WHEEL mode (accidently) while driving, the error
code will be activated to remind the user to stop driving.
However, the scooter will not stop operation automatically
while the user switch the DRIVE mode to FREE-WHEEL
mode accidently.
