•Moving and Braking. Push the right hand side of the
wigwag paddle forward with your right thumb and
the scooter will move forward. Push the left hand
side of the wigwag paddle forward with your left
thumb and the scooter will move backwards,
emitting an audible reversing alarm. To brake,
release the wigwag paddle which will return to
neutral and activate the electromagnetic brake
automatically which will bring the scooter to a
prompt stop. The wigwag paddle allows you to
control the speed of the scooter up to a maximum
speed determined by the Speed Dial. The further
the wigwag paddle is deflected, the faster the
scooter will go (up to 4mph).
Warning
Do not push both left and right hand
sides of the wigwag simultaneously. You
will not be able to control the scooter.
•Horn Button. Press the horn button to sound the
horn, Release the button to stop the horn. The horn
is the yellow button located between the wigwag.
•Braking – Electromagnetic Brake. Release the
wigwag paddle completely, and the
electromagnetic brake will be activated
automatically and the scooter will stop
When on a gradient, never set the vehicle
to freewheel mode. The brakes will not be
applied.
•Seat. The seat can be rotated and locked in position
at 45º intervals. Push the seat lever forward and
swivel the seat. Release the lever and then continue
swivelling the seat until it locks in position.
Attention.
Return the seat to the forward position
before driving.
•Adjusting the Seat Height.
Remove the seat from your
scooter then remove the locking
pin (arrowed). Move the chrome
seat post to the desired height.
Adjust the seat post height so
that there is a predrilled hole to
reinsert the locking pin. Insert
the locking pin and lock.
•Battery Gauge. The battery gauge on the tiller
console lights LEDs to show remaining power:
Green (3 or 4 LEDS lit) - 40% - 100% capacity
Yellow (2 LEDs lit) - draining charge (10% - 30%)
Red (1 LED lit) - immediate recharge is necessary.
The remaining power indicated by the battery gauge
will vary by the driving time incurred and how you
drive. Repeated starting, stopping and climbing will
consume power more quickly. The gauge is shown
below.
If the leftmost LED is flashing, this means the scooter
has encountered a problem. The LED will flash a
number of times then pause. Count the number of
flashes to determine the problem.
If you experience any flash sequences first restart the
scooter, ensuring the wigwag paddle is released. If this
does not remedy the problem recharge the batteries.
If the error persists contact your Drive Medical Dealer.
Attention
You should recharge the batteries after
each use to ensure maximum range. Read
the Battery Charging section in the
handbook before use.
•Circuit Breaker. The circuit breaker may trip when
the scooter is under excessive load or when
travelling on steep inclines. It will be more prone to
tripping when the scooter is low on battery charge.
Under normal conditions the circuit breaker button
will protrude by 2mm – 3mm. If the circuit breaker
has tripped the button will protrude by 7mm. To
reset the circuit breaker, push the button in and the
scooter should operate as normal.
