SECTION 6—OPERATION OF THE POWERED SCOOTER
Part No. 1125053 27 Zoom
220
ƽ WARNING
ALWAYS depress the throttle control lever gradually. This will ensure smooth safe
starts.
NOTE: Throttle control levers operate such that moving one (1) will also move the opposite side
throttle control lever.
9. To operate the scooter, depress the throttle control lever in the following manner:
• To Move Forward - Pull the right side throttle control lever (towards the user) or
push the left side throttle control lever (away from the user).
• To Move in Reverse - Pull the left side throttle control lever (towards the user) or
push the right side throttle control lever (away from the user).
• To Stop - Release the throttle control lever and the powered scooter will quickly
slow down and the brake will engage.
NOTE: To equip the scooter for left hand operation, contact a qualified technician.
The powered scooter is equipped with a "proportional" control meaning that the farther
you depress the throttle control lever, the faster the powered scooter travels. With a
proportional control, you can drive as slowly in the high speed setting as you can in the
low speed setting. Your top speed, however, is limited by the setting of the speed-control
knob. For safety reasons, reverse speed is limited to approximately 50% of forward speed.
When first learning to drive, adjust speed control knob for a SLOW speed and try to drive
the powered scooter AS SLOWLY as possible by depressing the throttle control lever only
slightly. This exercise will help you learn to utilize the full potential of the proportional
control and allow you to start and stop smoothly.
Engaging/Disengaging the Brake Release Lever
ƽ WARNING
Ensure that the brake-release lever is in the ENGAGED position before driving.
There should be an audible "click" when stopping and starting the scooter.
NOTE: For the following procedure, refer to FIGURE 6.2.
The brake release lever manually engages and disengages the brake. The brake release
lever is located under the seat on the right side.
The brake must be engaged in normal driving conditions. Activation of the throttle
control lever automatically releases the brake so that the powered scooter can drive.
Releasing the throttle control lever automatically engages the brake so as to prevent the
powered scooter from rolling on its own.
When the brake release lever is disengaged and the key is removed, the powered scooter
can be pushed. The powered scooter cannot be driven with the brake in the disengaged
position.
