OPERATING YOUR SCOOTER
WARNING! The following can adversely affect steering and stability while operating your
scooter:
Holding onto or attaching a leash to walk your pet
Carrying passengers (including pets)
Hanging any article from the tiller
Towing or being pushed by another motorized vehicle
WARNING! 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.
Set the speed adjustment dial to your desired speed.
Press your thumb against the appropriate side of the throttle control lever.
The electromechanical disc park brake automatically disengages and the scooter accelerates smoothly
to the speed you preselected with the speed adjustment dial.
Pull on the left handgrip to steer your scooter to the left.
Pull on the right handgrip to steer your scooter to the right.
Move the tiller to the center position to drive straight ahead.
To stop, slowly release the throttle control lever. The electronic brakes will automatically engage when
your scooter comes to a stop.
NOTE: Your scooter’s reverse speed is slower then that of the forward speed you preset with the speed
adjustment dial.
WARNING! Never attempt to get onto or off 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.
