All of the drive controls for the scooter are to be found on the Tiller Control
Box (Photo 25).
The Preset Speed Knob
Turning this knob to the left, (0), reduces your available maximum speed.
Turning it to the right, (10), increases the available maximum speed.
The Battery Gauge
This gives an approximation of battery charge.
The gauge has a series of 8 red illuminated bars to indicate battery level.
The gauge is marked from “E” empty (no bars lit), to “F” full, (all bars lit).
As the scooter is used the bars start to go out as the battery charge
decreases. This is perfectly normal and with a little practice, you will be
able to judge how much “fuel” you have left.
As the scooter moves over differing terrain, the Battery Gauge will dip up
and down, this is normal. For a more accurate indication, stop the scooter
and note the reading. In cold, damp weather the gauge will dip more often
as the capacity and efficiency of all batteries drops in such conditions.
Operating The Lights
The lights are operated by pressing the blue button on the front facia
panel. Press the button once to illuminate the lights, press the button
again to switch the lights off.
