GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SCOOTER
Your scooter is delivered fully assembled, fitting the two batteries and the seat assembly
together with some minor adjustments are detailed on the following pages, under "Operating
your scooter". A full technical specication for your scooter can be found at the rear of this
manual.
A great deal of thought has gone into the design of your four wheeled vehicle which will
allow you to negotiate obstacles found in conned shopping areas. Also, the four wheels will
give you added stability on uneven surface. This is just one of the features you will nd on
your scooter.
Others are:
COMFORT - The contoured seat giving you day-long comfort. A fully proportional speed-
controller with a speed restriction facility allows you a smooth, safe jerk-free ride.
Caution: DO NOT switch "off" the on/off power key when you are moving; this will
automatically apply the motor parking brake suddenly and could place you in a dangerous
situation. Your scooter is tted with anti-tipping wheels. DO NOT remove these anti-tipping
wheels, they are an important part of the scooter design provided specically for your safety.

COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS
Before setting out on your scooter, you need to make sure that your seat is in the correct
driving position. Your dealer will set the seat to the correct height for your individual needs.
The scooter has eight basic adjustments to assist your comfort.
1. Seat Lock Lever:
This allows the seat to swivel through 360 degree. Pull
up the seat lock lever fully to release the seat allowing
rotation. Release lever to lock the seat into the desired
position.
7
3. Armrest Width Adjustment:
On each side at the rear of the seat you will nd a large
black knob. By simply loosening this knob you are
able to slide the armrests in or out to whatever width
you desire. Re-tighten the knobs fully. You may need a
friend to assist you with this initial setting up operation.
This may extend the width of your scooter.
Caution: The backrest of your seat will not fully fold forwards if the armrests are
positioned too closely towards one another.
Warning: DO NOT drive your scooter with the arms removed or in the raised
position.
The armrest angle can be adjusted individually to suit
your needs. To make adjustments to the armrest angle
you will need two 13mm spanners (not provided). Lift
the arm upwards, you will note the adjusting bolt. First
loosen the locking nut, rotate the bolt in or out until the
required angle is found, lower the arm and check the
angle for comfort; re-adjust as necessary. Finally tighten
the locking nut.
Caution: The seat locking lever must be
locked in place and be lifted up fully when
rotating the seat, failure to observe this may
result in unnecessary wear of the seat post.
Removing Seat From Scooter:
Note: When you want to remove the seat you must go through a special lifting point on the
mounting post. This lifted point is 90 degree counting from the horizontal direction.
(1)
(2)
(3)
Pull up seat lock lever fully.
In the meantime rotate the seat to 90 degree from the straight ahead position.(either left or
right side)
Lift up and remove the seat carefully.
2. Seat Back Adjusted:

Pulling up on the seat back adjustment lever, lean forward or backward to adjust the seat
back.

Warning: When lowering the arm make certain clothing or ngers are not positioned
under it.
The seat as tted to your scooter, has a fold down backrest. The seat has four height positions.
Your dealer will position the seat to allow you the most comfortable driving position.
4. Seat Height Adjustment:
You may need to alter the seat height setting at a later
date, please follow these instructions.
(3)
(4)
Re-tighten the 10mm xing screw.
Ret the seat onto your scooter.
Warning: DO NOT have the seat set too high, you must be able to place both feet
rmly on the scooter's oor area. Stability will be reduced the higher your seat is set
on the mounting tube. ALWAYS take great care when cornering, lean into the corner
to achieve the best stability from your scooter.
5. Handlebar Adjustment:
The handlebar of your scooter is designed to allow you to position it in a comfortable
driving position. It can be locked into numerous positions or unlocked to move freely for
transportation. The handlebar lock is operated by a black lever positioned on the right hand
side of the handlebar. To release the handlebar from a locked position pull the black lever
upwards, the handlebar will now move freely, but under mild tension.
To lock the handlebar into a comfortable driving position,
simply push the black lever downwards until the
handlebar is locked rmly into position.
With the combination of the seat adjustments together
with the handlebar movement, you should nd a suitably
comfortable driving position.
Warning: ALWAYS make certain the handlebar locking lever is fully down and
the handlebar is securely clamped onto the chrome support plates before driving
your scooter. For service adjustment of this part, refer to the "Care & Maintenance"
section of this manual.

1. Control Features:
Your controls are located on the handlebar console:
(1)
(2)
(3)
Speed Adjustment Dial: This allows you to pre-select your desired top speed. The dial is
proportional to speed and can be set anywhere between minimum ("min") and maximum
("max") increments. Turn the dial knob anticlockwise to minimum for a very gentle
operation, and clockwise towards maximum to increase your speed.
Note: When attempting to climb obstacles, you will need to set the dial to a high setting.
Remember the higher position you set your speed dial to, the faster your scooter will
travel.
Horn Buttons: Sounds a polite warning signal.
Key Switch: Located at the lower right side of the control console. Insert the key and turn
clockwise. You will note after a second the needle on the battery state indicator moves
towards the green sector and the green status light illuminates. Your scooter is now ready
to drive. To switch off your machine turn the key anticlockwise. Remove the key when
your vehicle is left unattended. DO NOT attach heavy additional keys to your key ring,
the weight can damage the switch unit.
Caution: DO NOT switch to off when your scooter is moving. Failure to observe
this warning will result in the motor brake being applied suddenly and placing you
in a dangerous situation.
You should ONLY switch off when in motion in the case of an emergency. Continual use in
this mode may cause undue stress to the drive system and damage the main electronic speed
control unit. Be extremely cautious on slopes. Sit upright in your seat or your machine could
become less stable.

(4) Status Light: When you turn your scooter on the green light on your console will
illuminate at a constant rate. The status light is connected to a very sophisticated
diagnostic system which can identify faults which could occur on the main speed control
system or some other part of your scooter's electronic drive system. For instance if your
batteries run low in power, the status light will ash slowly at one ash a second; this
indicates your batteries need recharging.
