BEFORE GETTING ON YOUR SCOOTER

unless you are manually pushing your scooter.
GETTING ONTO YOUR SCOOTER

WARNING! Never attempt to board or exit your scooter without first removing the key
from the key switch. This will prevent the scooter from moving if accidental throttle
control lever contact is made.

4. Make certain that the seat is locked securely in position.

PRE-RIDE ADJUSTMENTS AND CHECKS

n Is the seat at the proper height? See VII. “ Comfort Adjustments.”
n Is the seat locked securely in place? See VII. “Comfort Adjustments.”
n Is the tiller at a comfortable setting and locked securely in place? See VII. “Comfort Adjustments.”

n Does the scooter’s horn work properly?
n Is your proposed path clear of people, pets, and obstacles?
n Have you planned your route to avoid adverse terrain and as many inclines as possible?
OPERATING YOUR SCOOTER
Keep both hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard at all times while operating your scooter. This driving
position gives you the most control over your vehicle.
n Set the speed adjustment dial to your desired speed.
n Press your thumb against the appropriate throttle control lever.
n The electromechanical disc park brake automatically disengages and the scooter accelerates smoothly to the
speed you preselected with the speed adjustment dial.
n Pull on the left handgrip to steer your scooter to the left.
n Pull on the right handgrip to steer your scooter to the right.
n Move the tiller to the center position to drive straight ahead.
n To stop, slowly release the throttle control lever. After you release the throttle control lever, gently squeeze the
hand brake (if equipped) to come to a complete stop. The electronic brakes will automatically engage when
your scooter comes to a stop.
NOTE: Your scooter’s reverse speed is slower than that of the forward speed you preset
with the speed adjustment dial.
