Medema Production A/S Designation Description Key switch To start the vehicle: Turn the key to driving position (1) When the Mini Crosser is turned on, the control system performs a safety check of the electrical system. The check lasts half a second. If the accelerator is operated during this time, the Mini Crosser will not be able to move until you have turned the key to 0 and back to 1.
Medema Production A/S Preparations / Adjustments prior to use Adjusting the height of the seat Lift the seat off and remove the rear cover. Pull the release out and adjust the seat tube to the desired position. See the picture on the next page.
Medema Production A/S Seat tube Release Seat tube in top position. There are fi ve holes for adjusting the seat tube. The release must be in a hole for the seat to be stable. Electric seat adjustment The Mini Crosser can be fi tted with electric seat adjustment as an optional extra.
Medema Production A/S Seat rotation Pull the release lever back. The seat can be rotated 90° to either side. When the lever is released, it engages with the seat and holds it in place at 45° intervals. Other seats that can be supplied for the Mini Crosser work on similar principles.

Medema Production A/S Braking systems There are three braking systems on the Mini Crosser: • Motor brake - adjusts vehicle speed also when going downhill. • Magnetic brake - the magnetic brake is automatic and engages when the Mini Crosser stops. In an emergency, the Mini Crosser can be stopped instantaneously by turning the key switch.
Page 16
Medema Production A/S Adjust your driving to road conditions. Take account of light, traffi c and weather. Be particularly careful when driving in the dark or in bad weather, such as rain or snow. Avoid driving on gradients with poor surfaces, such as: snow, ice, new-mown grass, wet grass and wet leaves.
Page 17
Medema Production A/S Anti-tilt wheels are recommended for driving in very hilly terrain. (Optional extra) New users are urged to practise the following in an area where there is no other traffi c: • Set the Mini Crosser to low speed. Drive forwards and backwards.
Page 18
Medema Production A/S The following rules apply in Denmark: Mobility vehicles such as the Mini Crosser with a maximum speed of up to 15 km/h count as cycles in traffi c legislation and the traffi c regulations for cycles must be followed at speeds in excess of 6 km/h.
Page 19
Medema Production A/S Electromagnetic compatibility If the Mini Crosser starts making involuntary movements or if the brakes are released, turn the Mini Crosser off as soon as it is safe to do so. In certain circumstances a Mini Crosser can set off shop alarms.
Medema Production A/S Specifi c driving situations Up kerbs • Stop at right angles to the kerbstone about 5-10 cm away from it. Keep an eye on other road users. • Lean forwards. • Accelerate moderately so that your vehicle can overcome the obstacle.
Page 21
Medema Production A/S Up a ramp/hill • There is a risk of tipping over backwards if the seat is pushed back when you start driving up a slope, e.g. a ramp. • Pull the seat forward! Check that any ramp is stable.
Medema Production A/S Across a slope • Lean into the slope. • Avoid sudden and sharp movements. This is particularly relevant when reversing. • Always drive at low speed. Long hills/diffi cult ground The Mini Crosser is at risk of overheating on very long and steep hills or on very soft ground, possibly also combined with high user weight.
Medema Production A/S Anti-tilt wheels / stabilisers The Mini Crosser is a very stable vehicle. HOWEVER, in the case of incorrect weight distribution or careless driving there is a risk of tipping over. We therefore recommend fi tting anti-tilt wheels in such circumstances.
Medema Production A/S General care and maintenance A Mini Crosser M does not require much maintenance. It should be kept in a generally good condition, however. The following should be checked regularly: • Tyre pressure (if pneumatic tyres are fi tted) •...
Medema Production A/S Annual The Mini Crosser M is designed for safe travel for at least 10 years, up to a max. of 5,000 hours, provided it is serviced and safety-checked every year, corresponding to 500 hours of operation. The service must be carried out by an authorised workshop.
Medema Production A/S Batteries The Mini Crosser uses sealed, maintenance-free GEL batteries (Exide 12 V/56 Ah or AGM 12 V/71 Ah). They do not generate gas and do not have to be topped up with water. Charging Please NOTE that the Mini Crosser can be equipped with several types of charger (ask your dealer for information on the various types).
Page 27
Medema Production A/S New batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been charged and discharged about 20 times. It is IMPORTANT to fi t the batteries correctly. The battery terminals and snap locks are marked +/-. They must be fi tted as shown in the sketch below.
Take care when handling leaky batteries, as the gel contains corrosive acid. INFO! New batteries can be purchased from Medema Danmark A/S. Storage The scooter should be stored and charged under cover, preferably at temperatures above 0°C.
Medema Production A/S Changing the wheels If you get a puncture in one of the pneumatic tyres or if a tyre is so badly worn that it needs to be replaced, follow the instructions below. Tyres and inner tubes can be purchased from the authorised dealer who supplied the Mini Crosser.
Medema Production A/S Fuses The Mini Crosser has the following protection systems: • Automatic overload protection, which limits the current to the motor. This protection is integral to the control system and cannot be adjusted. It prevents both the control system and the motor from being overloaded.
Medema Production A/S Brakes There are three braking systems on the Mini Crosser M: • Motor brake • Magnetic brake • Handbrake • Motor brake: adjusts vehicle speed also when going downhill. • Magnetic brake: automatic and comes on when accelerator is released.

Medema Production A/S Transporting by motor vehicle The Mini Crosser must always be restrained and the handbrake locked during transport in a motor vehicle or trailer. Avoid lifting by the seat, covers, handlebars and armrests If you just need to lift the scooter slightly, take hold of it between the rear lights and by the front bumper.
