III. SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING – Do not travel up an incline with the seat completely reclined
without an attendant. Inclines vary, and doing so may decrease stability.
WARNING – Do not, under any circumstances, travel on a slope greater
than the maximum climbing angle for this scooter. Please refer to Section
XII SPECIFICATIONS for this information. Exceeding the climbing angle
may cause unstable conditions.
FREEWHEEL GUIDELINES
Your scooter is equipped with manual freewheel levers to maneuver the unit without
power. The manual freewheel levers can be engaged or disengaged.
Disengaged, or "freewheel" mode, releases the locking mechanism on the gearbox
allowing the scooter to roll freely with or without power.
Engaged, or "drive" mode, secures the locking mechanism on the gearbox preventing
the scooter from rolling freely.
WARNING – Never attempt to personally put your scooter in freewheel
mode while seated in the unit.
WARNING – Never put the scooter in freewheel mode while on an incline.
This may cause uncontrollable movements.
ATTENTION – When your scooter is in freewheel mode you may feel
resistance when maneuvering; this is normal, and prevents damage to the
gearbox.
ATTENTION – Please refer to Section V PARTS to locate the freewheel
levers on your scooter.
SUGGESTION – If you hear a "clicking" noise when engaging the throttle,
but the scooter will not move – turn off the power, engage the freewheel
levers, and power back on to continue.
