Moving Off

Turn the key clockwise to turn on the power.
Initially set the speed control to a low setting. Push your right thumb lever
(yellow) and the scooter will move forward slowly. The further you push the
lever the faster the scooter will travel, but only to the maximum speed that has
been selected. Release the lever and the scooter will come to a smooth
controlled stop.
Caution! DO NOT switch off the power to stop the scooter as this will
cause the transmission to lock and the scooter will come to a sharp
stop, which could possibly cause injury. This procedure should only be
used in an emergency.

Steering

Steering the scooter is light and easy. Ensure you give obstacles a wide
clearance to avoid the rear wheels catching. When steering through limited
spaces, turn the tiller in the direction that you wish to go and apply power
gently. The scooter can turn very tightly with complete stability at slow
speeds.
Caution! NEVER turn sharply at high speeds as it can make the scooter
unstable. The maximum speed should be set at 50%.

Reversing

Before reversing ensure the area behind the scooter is free from any
obstacles or hazards. Adjust the speed setting to low before you reverse.
Press the left thumb lever (black), and steer wide of all corners and obstacles.
Caution! Do not reverse onto a main thoroughfare.

Ramps / Slopes

The stability of your scooter depends on several factors such as seat height,
angle of gradient and the users height and weight. When approaching an
incline, do so directly (Fig. 9) and not at an angle (Fig. 10) and avoid making
turns where possible.

Surfaces
Your scooter will perform well over many surfaces. However, avoid long
grass, loose gravel, sand and mud and ice.
