Tiller control functions
Throttle Lever
The throttle lever offers thumb-tip control of your scooter, (Photo 5).
It controls the speed as well as forward and reverse motion.
Pushing the right-hand side of the lever away from you with the right thumb,
moves the scooter forwards. Pushing the left-hand side of the lever away
from you with your left thumb, moves the scooter in reverse and sounds a
reversing beeper. The more you move the lever, the more your speed
increases up to its preset maximum. It is possible to operate your scooter
using one side of the throttle lever. To do this you must PUSH and PULL on
the chosen side of the throttle lever.
Note: One-hand operation requires careful concentration and is
more tiring than normal operation.
Horn Button
Pressing the yellow Horn button operates an audible buzzer. Use this
function to warn pedestrians of your presence when necessary.
On-Off Switch/Key Switch
If your scooter has a key, it is horizontal when in the on position (photo 5).
Make sure that this switch is in the OFF position BEFORE getting on or off
the scooter.
Switching this switch to OFF whilst driving, will cause the scooter to stop
very abruptly. This is not recommended.
To protect battery charge, your scooter is fitted with a sleep mode function.
If the key switch is left on without driving for 5 minutes, the battery gauge
will show full charge but the scooter will not drive. Simply turn the key off
and on again and you are ready to go.
