F. TILLER CONTROL FUNCTIONS (Garnet only)
1. Hand Controls
All of the drive controls for the scooter are to be found on the Tiller Control Box (Figures 1
& 2).
2. The Pre-Set Speed Knob (A)
Turning the knob to the left reduces your available maximum speed. Turning it to the right
increases the available maximum speed.
3. The Battery Gauge (B)
This gives an approximation of battery charge.
The gauge is marked from “E” empty to “F” full. For extra clarity there is a colored graduat-
ed scale rangiing from RED (Empty) through YELLOW to GREEN (Full).
As the scooter moves over differing terrain, the battery gauge will dip up and down. This is
normal. For a more accurate indication, stop the scooter and note the reading.
GREEN indicates ready for use.
YELLOW indicates batteries to be charged as soon as possible.
RED indicates charge batteries immediately.
NOTE– If you find that your battery gauge has gone into the red while you are out and about, you can
increase the remaining range of your scooter by reducing your maximum available speed, but
you MUST charge your scooter as soon as you can.
4. Throttle Lever (C)
The throttle lever offers finger-tip control of your scooter (Figure 5). It controls the speed
as well as forward and reverse motion. Pulling the right-hand side of the lever towards you
moves the scooter forwards. Pulling the left-hand side of the lever towards you moves the
scooter in reverse and sounds a reversing beeper. The more you move the lever the more
your speed increases up to its pre-set maximum. It is possible to operate your scooter
using one side of the throttle lever. To do this you must PUSH and PULL on the chosen side
of the throttle lever.
NOTE– One-hand operaion requires carefull concentration and is more tiring than normal operation.
5. Horn Button (D)
Pressing the yellow horn button operates an audible buzzer. Use this function to warn
pedestrians of your presence when necessary.
6. On-Off Switch (E)
The on-off switch is illuminated when in the ON position. Make sure that this switch is in
the OFF position BEFORE getting on or off the scooter. Switching this switch to OFF while
driving will cause the scooter to stop very abruptly. This is not recommended.
