(Numbers in the table refers to figure no.6)
Key Switch  The Breeze has a Main Key Switch (1.17) - located on
the backside of the Tiller Box (1).
The Main Key Switch has two positions:
 “OFF” - The Breeze cannot be driven and the
Electromagnetic Brake is locked.
 “ON” - Power is supplied to the Breeze. The
Electromagnetic Brake releases automatically when the
Operating Lever is squeezed.
To operate the Breeze, insert the key into the Main Key
Switch and turn it to “ON” (clockwise). The switch will
remain in this position and the green (5.2) light will be lit.
Remark : Key Switch is used for operating the Breeze ,
but not for locking .
Automatic Shut Off When Key Switch is at “ON” position, after a few minutes
(about 20 minutes) without using the Operating Lever, the
control system will be shut off automatically to save battery
energy.
In such cases, to restart control system, turn Main Key
Switch “OFF” and “ON” again.
Battery Status
Indicator
The Battery Status Indicator (5.1) located on top of the
Tiller Box shows you the remaining capacity of the
batteries. Like in cars the Batteries indicator is not absolute
accurate, but will help you from running out of fuel. The
best way to use the battery indicator is to learn it's behavior
to the change of the battery capacity. The Batteries
indicator display the capacity after about 1 second, but after
1 minute, the accuracy of the reading is much better.
When the indicator shows that mid-half capacity remains,
recharge batteries as soon as possible.
When the indicator points that to first or second segment
on the left you should get to immediate charging, it is
possible to drive only a short distance (1-4 km on level
surface).
The accuracy of the battery indicator reading depends also
on the type and age of the batteries.
Fault Indicator The Battery Status Indicator (5.1) is used also as a Fault
indication.
When the Leds are flashing, the number of lit Leds are the
code of the fault . ( See Maintenance Manual for code
definition).

so that the wheels will get in perpendicular direction to

18
the step and the rear wheels wheel climb or go down
together.
Never try to go on an obstacle that is more than the
maximum recommended slope angle and curb climbing
is in the specification sheet.
Always drive carefully , adjust the speed according
the limitation of the road.
Before making sharp turns , reduce the Breeze
speed to minimum to prevent side roll-over.
