activates all of the amber flashing direction lights
to warn other road users that you are stationary or

FORWARD, REVERSE CONTROL LEVER
Located under the handlebar grips ( Fig 8 ). Your speed
and braking in forward and reverse motion is controlled
here. The right lever moves your FR 510-GDX Scooter
in a forwards direction and also controls the rate of
speed by the proportional amount of pressure applied.
The left lever moves the FR 510-GDX in a reverse
direction and controls the rate of speed by the pressure
applied. The lever when released will automatically
return itself to the neutral braking position, and you will
slow down and gently stop. The rate at which you brake
is also proportional to the movement of the control
lever, the quicker you return it to the centre position
the harder you will brake. Your Freerider distributor can
modify your Scooter if you require so that the left hand
lever will give you forward speed direction and the right
hand lever will give you reverse speed direction.
Warning: Do not attempt to operate the right and
left lever simultaneously, failure to observe this warning
may distort the lever system and could put you at risk.
It should also be noted that reverse speed is set at half
of full speed, this is a safety precaution, always make
certain the Hi/Lo speed switch and the ‘min and max’
speed selection dial are set high enough to give you
adequate power for your reverse maneuver.
Warning: If you are not an accomplished outdoors
powered vehicle driver, we strongly recommend that
you seek advice from your local ‘road safety officer’
who may be able to advise you of any training schemes
that are available in your locality, your local Freerider
Distributor may also help you in finding training in
road craft skills.
We strongly recommend that you first practice in
an open, safe area, free from traffic, preferably with
a companion who can assist you. Please remember
as a road user you are required by law to drive your
Scooter with due care and regard to other road users
and pedestrians. Although you do not by law require a
driving license, road tax, M.O.T. test or insurance, we
strongly recommend that you insure yourself and your

Before setting out on your Freerider FR 510-GDX

driving position.
Your Freerider distributor will set the seat to the correct
height for your individual needs.
The seat has seven basic adjustments to assist your
comfort.
1. Seat Lock Lever: ( Fig 9 ). This allows the seat to
swivel through 360° and lock in a convenient position.

seat. NB: It can be re¬located on the right side for your
convenience. Pull up fully to release the seat allowing
rotation. Release lever to lock the seat into the desired
position.
Scooter against any risk that could occur, your Freerider
Dealer will advise you of insurance companies who
specialize in this field or you could seek advice from
your own insurance company who provide other cover
for you such as house insurance.
We also bring your attention to the ‘Code of Practice
for Class 3 Vehicle Users’ this can be found on page
10,11 of this manual.
COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
of the seat you will find a large black knob ( Fig 10 ).
By simply loosening this knob you are able to slide
the armrests in or out to whatever width you desire.
Re-tighten the knobs fully. You may need a friend to
assist you with this initial setting up operation. This
may extend the width of your Scooter.
Caution: The backrest of your seat will not fully
fold forwards if the armrests are positioned too
closely towards one another.
Warning: Do not drive your FR 510-GDX with
the arms removed or in the raised position.
3. Armrest Angle Adjustment: ( Fig 11 ). The armrest
angle can be adjusted individually to suit your needs.
To make adjustments to the armrest angle you will
need two 13mm spanners (not provided). Lift the arm
upwards, you will note the adjusting bolt. First loosen
the locking nut, rotate the bolt in or out until the
required angle is found, lower the arm and check the
angle for comfort; re¬adjust as necessary. Finally tighten
the locking nut.

When attempting to climb obstacles, you will
need to set the dial to a high setting. Remember
the higher position you set your speed dial to, the
faster your Scooter will travel. Caution: The speed
adjustment dial works in conjunction with the Hi/
Low speed switch , if both are set to their lowest
settings there may not be sufficient power delivered
to the motor to drive your Scooter, in this case turn
the speed dial up to a higher setting.

controls the function of the front and rear lights.
Simply push down on the left side for ‘on’ and the
right side for ‘off ’.
