Tiller Controls (Fig. 6)
Fig 6
Thumb Lever Controls
The thumb lever controls the reverse and forward motion of the scooter.
Pressing the right lever will drive the scooter forward, pushing the left lever
will reverse the scooter. The amount of pressure applied to the levers will
determine the speed the scooter travels up to the maximum speed selected.
More pressure = more speed. Release the thumb lever and the scooter will
automatically come to a safe stop as the electromagnetic brake is applied.
Horn Button
The yellow button operates the scooters horn. This should only be used to
warn others of your presence and not as a rebuke of any form.
Battery Level Indicator Gauge
This gauge gives you a guide to the amount of charge left in the scooters
batteries. This will give the truest reading when the scooter is in motion.
Always fully charge the batteries before driving your scooter and never
let the batteries become completely drained, as this may cause
permanent damage to the batteries.
On/Off Key Switch
Insert the key supplied with the scooter and turn clockwise. The battery gauge
needle will move. There may be a slight delay before the thumb levers
operate as the controller checks the scooters circuits. Never leave the key in
the switch unattended to prevent unauthorised use. Do not switch the
power off to stop the scooter unless it is an emergency. The scooter will
stop very abruptly if stopped in this way.
Speed Control Dial
The speed control enables you to set the maximum speed of the scooter. The
tortoise being slow, and the rabbit being the maximum. Always start at a
slow speed until accustomed with the characteristics of your scooter.
Do not put excessive pressure on the dial. Only turn as far as the stops.
