Operating your Scoota
Basic Driving
1. Make sure you are properly
seated on the Elite and that the
Speed Control Dial is turned
fully anti-clockwise towards the
tortoise.
Note: Reverse movement of
scooter may not occur when
Speed Control Dial is turned
fully anti-clockwise.
2. Insert key into Key Switch and
turn clockwise to on
(90 degrees).
3. On tiller, use the Wig-Wag as
described earlier.
You will gently accelerate.
Release and you will gently
stop. Practice these two basic
functions until you get used to
them.
4. Steering the Elite is easy and
logical. Just be sure to
remember to get wide
clearance when turning so that
the rear wheels clear any
obstacle.
5. Shortcutting a pavement
corner can cause the back
wheel to go off the pavement,
causing problems, if the corner
is very rough. Avoid this at all
times by steering an
exaggerated curve around the
obstacle.
6. When steering in a tight spot,
such as entering a doorway or
when turning around, stop the
scoota and then turn the
handlebar to where you want to
go, then apply power gently.
This will make the Elite turn
very sharply. It is also
recommended that the pre-set
speed is set to a slower setting
to aid control in tight spots.
Exercise caution when
reversing
7. Reversing requires attention.
Right thumb or left fingers
operation of the Wig-Wag will
reverse the scoota. Always
steer in the opposite direction
of the way you want to go. The
more you use the Wig-Wag
Control the faster you will go.
Reverse speed is 50% slower
than forward speed. If the Elite
does not move in reverse, turn
the speed control dial
cloockwise until the scoota
moves gently backwards.
