Brakes; Rmrest Adjustment; Swivel Seat - Rascal 309 Owners Manual & Service Record

Brakes

There are 3 braking systems. The first works with the finger controls. When the finger control is released the
scooter will automatically brake and bring the scooter smartly to a stop. When the scooter stops an automatic
brake will engage. This will stop the vehicle rolling forward or backward. When you start this brake will
automatically disengage.
If the battery should go flat the brakes automatically engage. Note that even when freewheel is selected, a
secondary braking system is applied automatically to limit the maximum speed. You may notice this system
when moving the scooter in freewheel. The Model 329 LE Scooters are also provided with a hand operated
parking brake mounted on the right handlebar. This should be used to prevent any movement when the
scooter is parked and could be used in an emergency to slow the vehicle.
Warning!
If the freewheel device is in "freewheel" the automatic braking is disabled. Never select the
freewheel device if the scooter is on a slope or could be pushed onto a slope.
