Brake Release / Freewheel Operation - Shoprider Mikra TE-7A User Manual

Brake Release / Freewheel Operation

The brake release lever is situated at the right rear of the scooter. This lever allows you to
disengage the drive mechanism and push the scooter in 'freewheel' mode. To
disengage the drive, pull the lever up as shown in the image below. The scooter can
now be pushed.
Simply push the lever down toward the ground to re-engage the drive mechanism (the
scooter can now be driven). The scooter will not operate when the lever is in the
disengaged position. The scooter must be turned off and on by the key switch to reset
the circuits before it will resume normal operation
Caution! Never leave the scooter unattended whilst in freewheel mode as it will roll
away down an incline. 'Freewheel' mode should only be used in an emergency to
move the scooter due to power failure. NEVER move the scooter in this mode whilst it is
occupied. NEVER tow the scooter.
When in freewheel mode the scooter may be pushed on level ground at a walking
pace. The scooter will 'auto-brake' if this speed is exceeded.
DO NOT step on the lever to re-engage the brake as this will damage the brake and
micro-switch.
NEVER sit on the scooter and freewheel down a hill as this can cause permanent
damage to the motor, brake and controller due to excessive regenerative braking. As
above the scooter can only be moved at a walking pace when in freewheel mode.
