Power Indicator LED
When the power to your Companion is turned on, the Power Indicator LED (Light Emitting
Diode) will light up. See figure 5. This LED is used for diagnosing operational problems that
may arise. Please see the Diagnostics section of this manual.
Horn Button
Press this button to sound the horn. See figure 5.
Light Switch Button
This button operates your Companion’s lighting system. See figure 5.
• Press the button once to turn on your scooter’s lights.
• Press the button a second time to turn off the lights.
NOTE: The lights on your Companion are for safety purposes only! They were
designed for you to be seen and not for driving at night.
Delta Tiller Throttle Control Lever
The Delta Tiller enables you to use only one hand (either the right or left) to operate both the
speed and the direction of the Companion. This self-centering lever system controls your
Companion’s speed (up to the maximum speed set by the speed adjustment dial) and its
forward and reverse direction. See figure 5.
To drive forward use either of the following:
• Use your right hand fingers to pull back on the right side of the throttle control lever.
• Use your left thumb to push the left side of the throttle control lever.
NOTE: Always bring your Companion to a full stop before changing direction
from forward to reverse, or from reverse to forward.
To drive in reverse use either of the following:
• Use your left hand fingers to pull back on the left side of the throttle control lever.
• Use your right thumb to push the right side of the throttle control lever.
When the throttle control lever is completely released, it automatically returns to the center
“stop” position and engages your scooter’s brakes, bringing you to a complete stop. You will
hear a “click” when the brake engages.
