Operating your Scoota
Freewheel mechanism
Every care has been taken to
ensure your Scoota remains trouble
free. However in the event of an
unforeseen failure a freewheel
device disengages the drive
assembly to allow manual
operation.
The freewheel mode is selected by
turning the freewheel knob at the
rear of your Scoota clockwise
(Fig. 26). Once freewheel has been
selected it will be accompanied by
a continuous sounding of the horn.
This is to warn you that the Scoota
is now in freewheel and will not
stop automatically. To stop the horn
sounding turn your Scoota off. To
turn the freewheel mode off, simply
turn the freewheel knob anti-
clockwise.
Note: Never sit on or try to
operate your Scoota whilst it is
in freewheel since it will no
longer automatically stop.
Do not attempt to lift the Scoota
or the drive assembly by using
the freewheel knob.
