Basic Driving - Golden Eagle GR595 Owner's Manual

VI. RIDING YOUR GOLDEN EAGLE

BASIC DRIVING

1. Make certain that you are seated safely and properly on your Golden Eagle.
2. Turn the speed control dial fully counterclockwise to its slowest setting.
3. Insert the key into the key switch—if you have not already done so.
4. Turn the key clockwise to the "On" position.
5. Place your hands on the handgrips.
• If you wish to drive forward, pull back on the right side of the throttle control lever (or
push the left side of the throttle control lever forward.)
• If you wish to drive in reverse, pull back the left side of the throttle control lever (or
push the right side of the throttle control lever forward.)
6. Pull on the throttle control lever to gently accelerate your Golden Eagle.
7. Release the throttle control lever to allow your Golden Eagle to come gently to a full
stop.
8. Practice these two basic functions until you feel that you have control of your scooter.
Steering
Steering your Golden Eagle is easy and logical.
1. With both hands on the handgrips of the tiller (see figure 4 on page 13), turn the tiller
to the right to travel to the right.
2. With both hands on the handgrips of the tiller (see figure 4 on page 13), turn the tiller
to the left to travel to the left.
3. Make certain to maintain sufficient clearance when turning your scooter so that the
rear wheels will clear any obstacle.
Turning your scooter too sharply at too high a speed may create a
situation where one of the wheels will leave the ground. This may increase the
possibility of tipping the scooter. Avoid this danger at all times by decelerating and
steering a wide arc around corners and obstacles.
