Freewheel mechanism
A freewheel device disengages the power drive to allow manual operation
(Photo 14).
The freewheel is selected by pulling up the lever which is located at the
rear of the scooter. Once freewheel has been selected, the electronic drive
control system is disabled to prevent driving. This is a safety feature to
prevent you driving the scooter with the parking brake disengaged. If the
Scooter is switched on in freewheel a fast warning beeper sounds.
To turn off the freewheel and engage the motor, simply push the lever
downwards (Photo 14). To reset the warning beeper switch the Scooter off
and then on again.
Note: Use extreme caution in the freewheel mode, especially on
slopes/inclines. Letting go of your scooter whilst it is in
freewheel can cause the scooter to roll unexpectedly.
This could cause damage or bodily harm.
Caution!
It is advisable during the first few sessions of operating your scooter that
the area around you is clear of obstacles and pedestrians.
Before operating your scooter, ensure the seat height has been adjusted to
your satisfaction.
Please see the “General Warnings” and “Getting on Your Scooter” sections
earlier in this handbook.
