4.2 How To Operate Your Scooter
Key Ignition. The key ignition acts as the power
switch for the scooter. To switch the power on, turn
the key clockwise and battery gauge should
illuminate. To switch the power off, turn the key
anticlockwise, after which the battery gauge should
switch off and the key can be removed.
Do not turn the ignition off whilst driving
as this will lead to an emergency stop and
possible risk of damage or injury.
Speed Dial. Turn the speed dial to determine the
maximum speed of the scooter. Turn the dial
clockwise to increase the speed setting and turn the
dial anticlockwise to decrease the speed setting.
Do not adjust the speed dial whilst driving
as this could result in loss of control. Do
not set the highest speed whilst driving
indoors.
Tiller Lock. When the tiller is centred, pull the tiller
lock down to secure the tiller for transportation.
Push the tiller lock up to release.
Always ensure the tiller lock is disengaged
when driving the scooter. Always check
the tiller moves freely before driving.
Moving and Braking. To move forward, pull the right
hand side of the wigwag paddle with your hand
towards you whilst resting the palm of your hand on
the lower handle bar. Pull the left hand side of the
wigwag paddle towards you and the scooter will
move backwards, emitting an audible reversing
alarm. To brake, release the wigwag paddle which
will return to neutral and activate the
electromagnetic brake automatically which will
bring the scooter to a prompt stop. The wigwag
paddle allows you to control the speed of the
scooter up to a maximum speed determined by the
Speed Dial. The further the wigwag paddle is
deflected, the faster the scooter will go (up to
4mph).
