Assembly; The Controls And Instrument Panel - TGA Vita Operating Instructions And Owner's Handbook

The speed of the Vita is dependant on the weight of the occupant, incline and the type of surface. Tested with a
weight of 18 stone (114.55kg) the Vita had a speed of 7.5/8mph on the flat, on high speed setting. When used on
the pavement, the UK law limits the speed to 4mph. For pavement use make sure 4mph is selected, and drive with
care and have consideration for pedestrians.
2. ASSEMBLY (WHERE NECESSARY)
The Vita was pre-delivery inspected and tested prior to dispatch. The batteries may have been disconnected for
delivery purposes only.
The scooter should have been delivered to you in a ready to ride condition, however if for whatever reason it was
delivered in a carton please take the following action.
Remove all the items from the carton and strip the protective packaging materials off each item. Returns are only
accepted when the product is shipped in the original cartons with the original packing material installed. In order
to fit in the carton, the seat back and tiller will be folded down.
Removal and Replacement of seat – To remove seat, lift it straight up and out. Take care as the seat is a
fairly heavy component. Replacing the seat is just a reversal of the above.
Tiller Adjustment – Release the tiller adjusting lever by pushing downwards, then move the tiller up or down to
your choice. Make sure it locks in before use, fig 1.14.
Rear Cover Removal – Remove seat, then unscrew the three black fixing screws located one in each corner of
the cover and remove. Replacement is just a reversal of the above, ensuring the cover locates correctly.
Batteries – For safety in transit the main supply leads may have been disconnected from the batteries. This is
simply a plug and socket connecting the two leads of each battery to the main supply lead. You will see a hook
and loop retaining device on the side of each plug and socket. Plug together ensuring the hook and loop lock
together. Make sure this is done correctly as a wrong connection could be dangerous or cause damage. Take
care and never force the connection. The batteries will require charging.
Care! Warning
The Vita is easy to drive but it is essential that you familiarise yourself with the controls and learn to drive it in a
safe area with sufficient room to manoeuver for your safety and that of others. The area should be free of
obstacles and reasonably flat. Mark a practice course for straight line driving, turning in confined spaces, reversing
and driving around obstacles.

3. THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL

Figs 1-2 Provide details of the control system. Listed below are the various controls and their uses.
1.Speed Control Levers - The speed of Vita is controlled by the levers located on the left and the right of the
instrument console Fig 1.1. Primarily the right hand lever is the forward speed control and the left hand lever is
reverse. However both levers can do both functions simply by pushing up or down. Either lever can be operated
by thumb or forefinger simply by holding a different section of the Delta handlebar and obviously left or right
handed people are accommodated. Always use the lever gently, remembering that the more you move the lever,
the quicker you will go. To stop simply release the lever, the braking is completely automatic and when the
machine has stopped the parking brake will engage and stay on until the machine moves off again.
2. Emergency Brake - All braking on the Vita is automatic and the emergency brake should never need to be
used. It is only for emergency in the very unlikely event that the automatic braking fails. If used this lever will cut
off the power of the machine and bring you safely to a halt. Lever located on left handle bar (fig 1.2)
3. Horn – Buttons located either side of instrument console (fig 1.3). The buzzer will automatically sound when
using reverse and indicators.
