Freewheel Mode - Golden Companion II Owner's Manual

Companion Owner's Manual: GC240, GC340, GC440

Freewheel Mode

Your Golden Companion is equipped with a
freewheel lever that can set your scooter in or
out of freewheel mode. The freewheel lever
engages your park brake.
To disengage the brake and put your scooter
in freewheel mode:
Push the brake handle in the direction of
"disengage" on the label. See figure 11.
To engage the brake and take your scooter
out of freewheel mode:
Push the brake handle in the direction of
"engage" on the label. See figure 10.
Pushing the scooter too quickly in freewheel
will cause the motor to act as a generator
causing the scooter to become difficult to
push. Freewheel slowly.
Do not sit in or attempt to move your Companion unless the
frame and rear carriage are securely engaged. Accidental separation of the
frame from the rear carriage may occur and cause injury or damage.
 Never set your Companion in freewheel mode when it is on an incline.
 Never disengage the brake handle while you are operating your Companion.
Always make certain that your scooter brake is engaged before inserting the key
into the key switch.
