Tiller control functions
Throttle Lever
The throttle lever offers finger-tip control of your scooter, (Photo 13).
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 preset 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 operation requires careful concentration and is
more tiring than normal operation.
Horn Button
Pressing the yellow Horn button operates an audible buzzer. Use this
function to warn pedestrians of your presence when necessary.
On-Off Switch/Key Switch
If your scooter has a key, it is horizontal when in the on position (photo 13).
Make sure that this switch is in the OFF position BEFORE getting on or off
the scooter.
Switching this switch to OFF whilst driving, will cause the scooter to stop
very abruptly. This is not recommended.
To protect battery charge, your scooter is fitted with a sleep mode function.
If the key switch is left on without driving for 5 minutes, the battery gauge
will show full charge but the scooter will not drive. Simply turn the key off
and on again and you are ready to go.
If the Scooter is switched on while the throttle lever is operated, the
Scooter will not move and a slow warning beep will sound. To cancel this
make sure the throttle lever is “ at rest” and turn the Scooter off and then on
again.
