Driving
The Naviagor can be powered up with the ignition key on the right side of the tiller. After a brief self-
test the Excite Galaxy is ready to drive. By pulling the right side of the gas lever (at thumb control
pushing), the Excite Galaxy moves forward. The closer you pull the lever towards you, the faster the
scooter will drive. If you release the lever the Excite Galaxy will stop. For reversing please stop the
scooter first. Now pull the left side of the gas lever (a thumb control push). The Excite Galaxy now will
drive backwards, with reduced speed.
Before you drive, first check if the chair is properly fixated.
•
Make sure the tires are always on the right pressure (see technical specifications).
•
Make sure the batteries are always sufficiently charged. The pointer of the battery indicator
•
should be in the green area.
Should the gas lever not be in neutral position when the Excite Galaxy is powered up, it will
•
not drive. Only after the control lever has been placed in neutral position, the Excite Galaxy is
ready to drive. The neutral position is when the gas lever is not operated.
Never take sharp turns while driving at full speed. We recommend to slow down before making
•
a sharp turn. We strongly recommend to avoid dangerous driving in corners.
Always think of your own safety if you drive from the even road with the Excite Galaxy. Adjust
•
your speed. Never drive through deep holes, water etc.
The ideal stability and weight balance can be achieved when taking the following points into
•
consideration: always sit straight on the chair and place your feet as far to the front as
possible. Do not lean left or right while driving.
Driving on an incline
A very safe control feature when driving inclines is the following: if the Excite Galaxy is able to drive an
incline, the incline can also be descent with reduced speed. Always drive a steep incline up first and
make sure the Excite Galaxy is not too heavily loaded.
Picture 33
Driving up a hill: lean a little forward and drive as constant as possible in a straight line up (picture 33).
To stop and restart driving costs extra energy.
Driving off a hill: lean a littly backward and drive carefully with low speed down the hill.
A will which is difficult to climb for the Excite Galaxy needs to be avoided. When climbing very steep
inclines (over 12°) is dangerous. At sudden braking the scooter might tip over to the front or the back.
