Operating Your Scooter

Mounting
For your first drive, make sure that you and your scooter are on a level surface.
Make sure that the unit is off before sitting on it. Make certain that both of your
feet are on the deck of the scooter.
Insert the on/off key into its key slot, but leave it turned off.
Next, turn the 'speed adjustment dial' to slow, and turn the 'on/off' key clockwise
to the 'on' position. (The battery state indicator will move, and the red status
lights will illuminate). Press the right thumb control to move in a forward motion.
To stop, simply let go; the brakes will automatically be applied.
CAUTION: Please take care not to have your thumb on the forward/reverse
control lever when you switch 'on' your scooter; this will result in your
scooter going into a fault mode. Switch 'off', then 'on' again, to clear the
fault.
Dismounting
Always switch off your scooter before dismounting. Make sure that you dismount
the unit on a level surface.
Parking in Public
If you need to park and leave your scooter, simply remove your key. This will
keep the brake on and will make your scooter difficult to move. It is best to leave
it in sight of someone (like a store assistant, etc.) who can watch it for you.
Another precaution is to note your serial number and the date of purchase.
Your serial number can be found on the lower section of the back frame of the
scooter.
Basic Driving
Make certain that you are properly sitting on your scooter. Ensure that the 'speed
control dial' is turned to slow for your first drive. When you have become more
confident, you can increase the setting to a higher speed. Push the 'thumb lever
control', as described earlier. You will very gently accelerate. Release the lever,
