Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the FOXTR I scooter. This scooter incorporates the
latest in innovative safety and design features. The FOXTR I is suitable for indoors and
outdoors use. A direct drive rear transaxle and electromagnetic brake provide a safe and
efficient ride.
Intended Use
The FOXTR I is intended for indoor or outdoor use in pedestrian areas by a single individual
with limited mobility up to a maximum weight of 136kg (300 lbs). Because of the scooter’s
tight turning radius, this device is not suitable for individuals who experience balance
difficulties. Your assessor / healthcare professional can determine the suitability of the
scooter for each individuals’ intended use.
Note: Persons with lower body amputations should not use this device unless evaluated
with artificial limbs fitted, as stability may be compromised due to an irregular centre of
gravity.

•Exceed inclines over 6°
•Traverse inclines.
•Attempt inclines if the surface is slippery.
•Turn sharply at full speed.
•Exit or enter the scooter unless the power is switched off.
•Switch off the power while driving –this will cause the scooter to stop abruptly (see
emergency procedures –page 17).
•Use the scooter where you cannot safely or legally walk.
•Attempt to climb or descend kerbs except drop down kerbs.
•Use the scooter if under the influence of alcohol or any medication.
•Use a mobile phone while driving.
•Attempt to negotiate steps or escalators.
•Sit on the scooter if being transported in a vehicle.
•Attempt to tow any other devices.
•Exceed the stated weight limit.
•Connect any other devices to the batteries as this could cause permanent

•Use any other batteries/charger other than those supplied by FOXTR Scooters.
•Travel through water or over soft terrain (mud, sand etc.)
•Lift the scooter by the shroud assembly or any plastic part.
•Sharply shift your centre of gravity as this could make the scooter unstable.
•Freewheel down hills. This will damage the motor and brake and void the warranty.
•Tow the scooter with any other vehicle in the event of a breakdown.
Every care has been taken to ensure that your scooter will give you safe, reliable service
provided you adhere to the advice outlined above.

Assembly
Before use, your scooter will require the fitting of the tiller and seat post.
To fit the tiller assembly, you will require the
hand-knob and spring. Fit the hand-knob
through the right-side hinge and locate the
spring over the shaft of the bolt. Align both
hinge joints and locate the thread of the hand-
knob into the right side of the hinge. Adjust the
tiller to the desired angle and tighten the hand-
knob fully.
There are two electrical
connections - with white
and black plugs. These
should be connected to
the matching colour
connector. When
connected, carefully
push the connectors one
at a time through the hole in the chassis cover and fit the grommet (a small
amount of dishwasher liquid rubbed on the grommet can make it easier to
locate).
To fit the seat post the rear part of the scooter
will need to be removed (see page 14) to
access the securing bolt.
Locate the seat post and align the holes in
the frame and the post at the desired height.
Tighten the bolt using the allen key and
spanner provided. Re-fit the rear part of the
scooter.
For shipping purposes, the battery pack is
isolated by removing the fuse. This will need
to be re-fitted before use. The scooter will not
operate until this fuse is fitted. The fuse is
packed in the small polythene bag with the
tools and seat post bolt.
The fuse needs to be fitted in the fuse holder
located behind the charge socket cover on
the front of the battery pack.

Adjustments
Tiller Angle Adjustment
At the bottom right hand side of the scooter you will find the angle adjustment
handwheel. To adjust the angle, loosen the handwheel by turning counter-clockwise.
Once the desired angle is achieved tighten by rotating clockwise. Ensure the tiller is fully
secured before using the scooter.
Seat Swivel / Seat Depth
The seat has a lockable swivel base to allow easier transfers. Simply push the lever circled
forward and rotate the seat at the same time. Releasing the lever will allow the seat to
lock in position. The seat locks in 45-degree intervals. Always ensure the seat is in a locked
position before getting and off the scooter. The seat should always be locked facing
forward while driving.
The seat depth can be adjusted by lifting the yellow lever (arrowed below) on the left
underside of the seat. Slide the seat to the desired position and release the lever to lock
in place.

Seat Removal
To remove the seat, fold down the back of the seat and simply lift the seat away from the
chassis while pushing the seat swivel lever forward.
Do not hang baggage or other objects on the back of the seat as this may affect stability.
Seat Height Adjustment
Remove the seat and rear part of the scooter (see page 14). Undo the locking bolt from
the frame using the tools supplied and set the seat to the desired height. Re-fit the locking
bolt.
Re-assemble the rear part of the scooter and fit the seat.
The higher the seat is adjusted, stability may be affected due to the higher centre of
gravity.
Arm Adjustments
On each side of the seat towards the back there are two hand knobs and locking pins,
these are to adjust the width of the armrests or to remove then for transport.
Turn the hand knobs counter-
clockwise to loosen and pull out the
locking pins. Once the knobs are
loose, you will be able to adjust the
armrests in or out to the desired
width. Re-tighten when a
comfortable width has been
achieved and reinsert the locking
pins fully or remove the armrests
completely for transport.
If removing the armrests for transport,
ensure that the hand knobs are
retightened to avoid them rattling
loose and falling out.
Do not apply full body weight to the
armrests for transferring. Lift the arm up out of
the way to transfer to another seat.

Tiller Controls
A –Battery Gauge
This gauge gives you a guide to the amount of charge left in the scooter’s batteries. This
will give the truest reading when the scooter is in motion. Always fully charge the batteries
before driving your scooter and never let the batteries become completely drained, as
this may cause permanent damage to the batteries.
B –Horn
The button operates the scooter’s horn. This should only be used to warn others of your
presence and not as a rebuke of any form.
C –Maximum Speed Knob
The speed control enables you to set the maximum speed of the scooter. Turn clockwise
to increase the maximum speed and counter-clockwise to decrease. Always start at a
slow speed until accustomed to the feel and driving experience of your scooter. Do not
put excessive pressure on the dial. Only turn as far as the dial stops.
When driving in pedestrian areas such as shopping precincts and busy pavement areas
always respect other pedestrians and turn the maximum speed down so that the scooter
travels at the walking pace of others around you.
D –On/Off Key
The key switch is located on the top of the tiller. Simply insert the key and turn clockwise
to switch the power on. The display will light up to indicate the power is on. There may be
a slight delay before the thumb levers operate as the controller checks the scooter’s
circuits. Never leave the key in the switch unattended to prevent unauthorised use. Do not
switch the power off to stop the scooter unless it is an emergency. The scooter will stop
very abruptly if stopped in this way.
E –Front Light
This button operates the LED headlight.

Brake Release / Freewheel Operation
The brake release lever is situated at the right rear of the scooter. This lever allows you to
disengage the drive mechanism and push the scooter in ‘freewheel’ mode. To disengage
the drive, push the lever forward until you reach the stop position (indicated by the ‘N’
direction.)
Simply push the lever toward the back of the scooter to re-engage the drive mechanism
(‘D’ position.) The scooter will not operate when the lever is in the disengaged position.
The scooter must be turned off and on by the key switch to reset the circuits before it will
resume normal operation. The scooter will beep continually if the brake is disengaged
when it is switched on.
Caution! Never leave the scooter unattended while in freewheel mode as it will roll
away down an incline. ‘Freewheel’ mode should only be used in an emergency to move
the scooter due to power failure. NEVER move the scooter in this mode while it is occupied.
NEVER tow the scooter.
When in freewheel mode the scooter may be pushed on level ground at a walking pace.
The scooter will ‘auto-brake’ if this speed is exceeded.
NEVER sit on the scooter and freewheel down a hill as this can cause permanent damage
to the motor, brake and controller due to excessive regenerative braking. The scooter
can only be moved at a walking pace when in freewheel mode.
