Tiller Controls

Maximum Speed Knob
The speed control enables you to set the maximum speed of the scooter. Turn clockwise
to increase the maximum speed and anti-clockwise to decrease. Always start at a slow
speed until accustomed with the characteristics of your scooter. Do not put excessive
pressure on the dial. Only turn as far as the stops.
When driving in pedestrian areas such as shopping precincts and busy pavement areas
always respect other pedestrians and turn the maximum speed down so that the
scooter travels at the walking pace of others around you.
Horn Button
The yellow button operates the scooters horn. This should only be used to warn others of
your presence and not as a rebuke of any form.
Finger Lever (Wig-Wag)
The finger levers control the reverse and forward motion of the scooter – see 'Starting To
Drive' for operation. Remember, more pressure = more speed. Release the lever and
the scooter will automatically come to a safe stop as the electromagnetic brake is
applied. Always release the lever if the scooter behaves erratically.
On/Off Key
The key switch is located on the front of the tiller. Simply insert the key and turn
clockwise to switch the power on. The display will light up to indicate the power is on.
There may be a slight delay before the thumb levers operate as the controller checks
the scooters circuits. Never leave the key in the switch unattended to prevent
unauthorised use. Do not switch the power off to stop the scooter unless it is an
emergency. The scooter will stop very abruptly if stopped in this way.
Battery Level Indicator Gauge
This gauge gives you a guide to the amount of charge left in the scooters batteries. This
will give the truest reading when the scooter is in motion. Always fully charge the
batteries before driving your scooter and never let the batteries become completely
drained, as this may cause permanent damage to the batteries.
