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

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:

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.

10
(5)
If you notice the status light flashing at two flashes per second, you are being notified
that the battery voltage is too low and you must stop using your scooter at the earliest
opportunity. Your status light has nine similar flashing diagnostic signals, reference to
these diagnostic codes is found under "Fault Finding" at the rear of this manual.
Battery Condition Indicator: Located at the top of your console. When your scooter is
switched on, the needles on the gauge will move across the scale from the left "red" sector
towards the "green" sector, indicating the state of charge in your batteries. As the power is
used up in your batteries the needle will move toward s the red sector indicating the state
of charge at that precise time. When the needle is fully over to the right (green sector),
the batteries are fully charged. When the needle falls towards the red sector your batteries
are losing power, but you will still have power to spare. When the needle falls into the
red sector, your batteries are low in power and need to be re-charged, although you will
still have approximately half-an-hours normal at pavement driving in reserve. It is not
recommended to use this power regularly as it will shorten the battery life. It is wise to re-
charge your batteries when the needle enters the red zone.
Note: When driving up a slope or similar obstacle, your scooter's motor will be working
hard, the battery gauge will move into the red sector, it will return towards the green
sector once the load on your motor is reduced, this does not indicate low batteries.
Warning: DO NOT hang bags etc over the steering handlebars which could interfere
with the movement of your control lever. Failure to observe this warning could put
you in a dangerous situation.
！
Warning: If you are not an accomplished outdoors powered vehicle driver, we
strongly recommend that you first practice in an open, safe area, free from traffic,
preferably with somebody who can assist you with this scooter.
！
3. Sleep Time:
When you rest your scooter with the electronics switched "on", you are using valuable battery
power. Your scooter will automatically go into a sleep mode to preserve battery energy after
approximately 15 minutes, the battery indicator and green status light goes off. To start your
scooter again simply switch the key switch to "off" and back to "on" again, your scooter is
now ready to go.
2. Forward, Reverse Control Lever (wig-wag):
Located under the handlebar grips. Your speed for forwards and reverse motion and braking
is controlled here. The right thumb lever moves your scooter in a forwards direction and also
controls the rate of speed by the proportional amount of pressure applied. The left thumb lever
moves the scooter in a reverse direction and controls the rate of speed by the pressure applied.
The lever when released will return itself, and you will gently stop. You will note that you
can obtain the reverse of this procedure by pulling the levers backwards with your thumb.

11
FREEWHEELING YOUR SCOOTER
If for reasons of convenience, you require to push your scooter for a short distance, the drive
system can be put into "freewheel mode". This will allow your scooter to roll freely.

off position, the braking safety system is automatically
activated when the scooter is pushed quicker than
walking speed, this is an automatic "run away" safety
checking system, it also reduces the risk of casual theft.
Note: The quicker you push your scooter the heavier the
brake will be applied.
To re-engage the drive system, simply push backwards on the red handled lever until a
distinct click is felt. Switch the power switch on your console off and then on, the green status
light will be fully illuminated and you will be able to drive your scooter once again.
Warning: DO NOT sit on your scooter with the freewheel device in the disengage
position. Your scooter has limited braking and will not drive in this mode, the green
status light on your console will ash ve times.
！
Warning: If your scooter is in the freewheel mode when you turn on your power key
switch and depress your speed forward - reverse lever, you will not be able to move
under motor power. Dismount and re-engage the drive system by pulling backwards
on the red handled lever (engage).
！
Remount your scooter, switch the power switch off and on again until the green status light is
fully illuminated. Your scooter will now drive under motor power again.
Warning: ALWAYS check that the freewheel device is in the drive position before
attempting to drive your scooter after it has been left unattended for a period of time.
Failure to observe this warning may result in an accident.
！
Note: If you are able to push your scooter the drive system is disconnected, DO NOT attempt
to drive your scooter. Please check once again the above mentioned procedure for re-
engaging the drive.
Warning: If your batteries are disconnected from your scooter, there will be no
brake function in the freewheel mode. DO NOT leave your scooter unattended
in this situation as it could roll away causing damage to other parties or property.
ALWAYS re-engage the drive system when left unattended.

Your scooter is a state-of-the-art device designed to enhance and increase your mobility.
Dealer provides a range of scooters to best suit the individual needs and circumstance of the
scooter user.
Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the model of
scooter to be used is the responsibility of the scooter user who is capable of making such a
decision with assistance from his/her healthcare professional (i.e. medical doctor, physical
therapist etc.) The contents of this User's Instruction Manual are based on the expectation
that the mobility device expert has properly tted the scooter to the user and has assisted the
prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorised dealer in the instruction process for
the safe use of the scooter.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the scooter user
will need to practice operating the scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained
attendant can be dened as a family member or care professional specially trained in assisting
a scooter user in various daily living activities.
When you begin to use your scooter, you will probably encounter situations in which you
will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon become condent and in
control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps and
over moderate terrain. Below are some tips, precautions and other safety measures that will
help you to become accustomed to the safe operation of your scooter. Your scooter is tted
with a number of "Safety Warning Instruction" labels. These labels communicate important
warnings or instructions. Please familiarise yourself with their location.
Get to know the feel of your scooter and it's capabilities. Dealer recommends that you perform
a safety check before each use to make certain your scooter operates smoothly and safely. For
details on how to perform these necessary inspections, see the "Care & Maintenance" section
of this manual. Perform the following inspection prior to using your scooter.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & WARNING
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
Check all battery connections, making certain they are tight and not corroded.
Check front basket is tted correctly.
Check batteries have been fully charged.
Check operation of brakes.
Warning: DO NOT attempt to operate your new scooter for the rst time without
completely reading and understanding all of the facts in this User's Instruction
Manual.
！
Warning: DO NOT carry passengers on your scooter. Your scooter is designed for
a single occupant which complies with legal requirements for pavement vehicles.
Carrying passengers on your scooter may result in personal injury and/or property
damage.
！
Weight Limit: Our scooter is rated for a maximum user weight limit of 136 kg (300 lbs.).

13
Cornering: Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors
which affect the possibility of tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering
angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven surfaces, included surfaces (such as heavily
cambered pavements), riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as
passing from grass areas to a paved area - especially at high speed while turning), and abrupt
directional changes. DO NOT corner at high speed! If you feel that you may tip over in a
corner, reduce your speed and steering angle to prevent your scooter from tipping.
Warning: Exceeding the weight limit will void your warranty and may result in
personal injury and damage to your scooter. Dealer will not be held responsible
for injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe these weight
limitations. Please also remember when carrying heavy objects that this will increase
your weight and may make your scooter unstable.
！
Warning: When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your scooter at
higher speeds, anticipate changes in the road surface. This will greatly reduce the
possibility of a tip or fall. To avoid personal injury or property damage, ALWAYS
exercise common sense when cornering.
！
Braking: Your scooter is equipped with two powerful brake systems:
(1)
(2)
Regenerative: Uses the electricity generated in your scooter drive motor to rapidly slow
your scooter when the speed direction lever is returned to the centre (neutral drive) stop
position.
Electric/Mechanical Disc Park Brake: Located on the end of your drive motor it
activates mechanically after the regenerative brake slows your scooter to a near stop, or
when power is removed from the drive system for any reason, as in the case of switching
your machine off.
Brake engagement is far more abrupt at higher speeds. It is important that you anticipate
when the brakes will engage and that you are braced for the resulting deceleration.
Warning: Your scooter can decelerate very quickly. DO NOT decelerate or turn
abruptly when traveling at high speed unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary
to decelerate or turn abruptly when driving at high speed, brace yourself by gripping
the steering handlebar tightly and positioning your feet firmly on the floorboard.
Users who can not grip the handlebar tightly and/or place their feet rmly against
the footboard should avoid deceleration from or turning abruptly at high speed, and
therefore should avoid traveling at high speed. Failure to observe this warning could
result in serious personal injury and property damage. ALWAYS brace yourself
rmly when decelerating your scooter.
！
Never drive down slopes at full speed, ALWAYS adjust your speed to the driving
condition and allow for gradual descents on inclines.
Outdoor Driving Surfaces: Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under
normal driving conditions i.e. dry, level surfaces composed of concrete or asphalt. However
dealer recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other surfaces such as
packed soil, grass and gravel. These surfaces may not be sound and fail to give good traction,
caution should be considered before driving on this type of surface to prevent stability
problems resulting in injury or damage to your scooter.

14
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
Reduce your scooter's speed to the "Low" switch position when driving on uneven terrain
or soft surfaces.
Avoid long and unsafe grass that can become tangled in the running gear or may hide
debris and holes.
Avoid snow, this can quickly build up around your wheels.
Avoid loosely packed sand and gravel.
If you feel unsure about a driving surface, please anticipate and avoid that surface.
Street And Roadway Driving:
Warning: Your scooter has been designed for operation on public streets and roads.
It is also designed for operation on pedestrian pavements and trafc free shopping
areas.
！
Your scooter must be driven with due care and compliance with the Road Trafc Acts and
conditions of the Highway Code. ALWAYS obey all local pedestrian trafc rules. Wait until
your path is clear of trafc, and then proceed with extreme caution.
Note: ALWAYS wear light or illuminating clothing when driving your scooter. Be aware that
it may be difcult for trafc to see you when you are seated on your scooter. ONLY drive your
scooter on the road when a public pavement is available (i.e. in the countryside) or when
crossing the roadway from one pavement to another.
Insurance: Although at this moment in time it is not a legal requirement for accident
insurance cover (third party), it is a sensible precaution. Your authorised dealer will be able
to give you details of specialist insurance companies or your own insurance company will be
able to advise you.
Weather Precautions:
Warning: Dealer recommends that you DO NOT operate your scooter in icy or
slippery conditions or on salted surfaces i.e. Roads and Pavements etc. Such use may
result in accident, personal injury or adversely affect the performance and safety of
your scooter.
！
Warning: Dealer recommends that you DO NOT expose your scooter to any type
of heavy moisture at any time i.e. rain, snow or power washer. Such exposure can
damage your scooter. Never drive through deep water or expose your scooter to sea
water.
Note: Salt is very corrosive to metal and electronic components. Following use in
winter or exposure to sea sand and water, your scooter should be washed with a mild
soap and water to remove all ingress of salts.
Watning: DO NOT use a power hose. DO NOT operate your scooter if it has been
exposed to moisture, until it has been thoroughly dried out.
！
！

Motor Vehicle Transportation: Currently there are no standards approved for "tie down"
systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a person while seated in a scooter.
Although your scooter may be equipped with a belt, this is not designed to provide proper
restraint during motor vehicle movements. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be
properly secured in the motor vehicle seat with a safety belt fastened securely.
Warning: DO NOT sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal
injury may result.
！
Warning: ALWAYS make certain that your scooter is properly secured when being
transported. Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or damage to your
scooter.

1. Basic Driving:
Make certain you are comfortably seated on your scooter and both armrests are down. Ensure
that the "Speed Adjustment Dial" is turned to minimum for your rst drive. When you have
become more condent you can increase the setting to a higher speed. Push the right "Thumb
Lever Control" as described earlier. You will very gently move forwards. Release the lever,
and you will gently stop. Practice these two basic functions until you get used to them.
Steering the scooter is easy and logical by turning the handlebars in the direction you wish to
maneuver.
2. Incline Control:
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. This moves the center of gravity
of your scooter towards the front of the scooter for improved stability. When going down
an incline, keep your speed slow. This will keep you in a safely controlled descent. It is best
to lean backwards; this moves the center of gravity of your scooter towards the rear of the
scooter for improved stability. If you wish to stop completely, release the control lever, and
you will come to a gentle stop, avoid sudden stop or starts.

4. Control Over Grass & Gravel ETC.
Care must be taken when attempting to drive over soft surfaces such as those found in parks
etc. The surface may look level, but this can be deceiving and hidden dangers may make your
scooter become unstable or grounded. Avoid unkempt grass, loose deep gravel or sand. DO
NOT exceed the capabilities of your scooter. ALWAYS have an attendant to assist you in
circumstances where you are not certain of the terrain. ALWAYS anticipate and think safety.
DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH DEEP WATER OR LEAVE YOUR SCOOTER
EXPOSED TO HEAVY RAIN.
i.e. During or after a thunderstorm.
DO NOT attempt to turn when negotiating an incline, ONLY turn when all wheels are fully
on or off the incline; failure to observe this warning could result in the machine becoming
unstable and toppling over. ALWAYS lean forward when ascending an incline and backwards
when descending an incline. This will enable you to maintain good stability and will eliminate
any chance of a rear or forward upset.
Note: The rear stability of your scooter is dependent on a number of factors which you should
consider before attempting to climb an incline or other obstacle:
(1) Your height;
(2) The height of your seat;
(3) Your weight;
(4) The angle of the incline you are attempting to climb.
All of these factors can affect the rear stability of your scooter. If you are unsure of your
capability to climb an obstacle, then try another route.
Caution: Because of the power of your scooter, you will be able to climb inclines.
But the maximum safe gradient limit is 6 degree. The reason for this is to ensure
good stability.
ALWAYS have the anti-tipping wheels fitted to your
scooter. They are an important part of your scooters
design and reduce the likely hood of backward tipping.
ALWAYS avoid where possible turning on slopes or
climbing curbstones. ALWAYS make certain that your
ALWAYS think "safety rst".
