OPERATING YOUR LUGGIE

10
Warning: If the installed Luggie battery has been idle for a long period, the
battery may be in a low power state.
Warning: The best practice is to remove the battery when transporting the
scooter so as not to accidently power on the scooter which cause injuries and drain
the battery.
Warning: Armrest Installation (optional): If your purchase comes with armrests, refer
to the Luggie Armrest Installation Guide included with your scooter order. Insert and screw
the adjustment knobs on the bottom side of the back of the seat assembly.
Note: The knobs do not need to be screwed on too tightly. These knobs are pull-pin knobs
for you to adjust the width of the armrests.
Caution: The backrest of your seat will not fully fold forwards if the armrests are
positioned too closely towards one another.
Warning: When the scooter is in operation, the armrests should not be in the
raised position.
TILLER ADJUSTMENTS
The controls of your scooter are located on the top console in front of the handlebars when
seated on the Luggie.
1.
2.
The tiller of your Luggie is designed to allow you to position the handlebars in
a comfortable driving position. It can be locked into numerous positions for your
comfort and ease of transport.
To adjust the angle of the tiller (angle the handlebars), locate the trigger as
pictured in (FIG 6). Pull the black lever (trigger), outward to adjust the angle of the
tiller. To lock the tiller in your desired position, simply release the trigger or the
black lever.
1. Status Light: The power switch on your Luggie doubles as the status light indicator.
When the Luggie is powered 'on', the light on the switch will be illuminated as
a solid for the entire duration of the 'on' state. When your battery run low in power,
the status light will ash slowly at one ash per second. This is the scooter’s way
of telling you that it is low in fuel and a charge is needed. If you notice the
status light flashing at two flashes per second, you are being notified that the
battery voltage is too low to drive. You must stop using your scooter at the earliest
opportunity when this happens. There is a total of nine status light ashing diagnostic
signals for the Luggie, refer to "Basic Fault Finding" section in the rear of this
manual for reference.
2. Battery Indicator: The battery indicator is located on the top console between the
handlebars. When your scooter is switched on, the indicator on the gauge will
move across the scale from the left 'red' sector towards the 'green' sector, indicating
the state of charge of your battery. As the power is used up the indicator will move
towards the red sector indicating the state of charge at that precise time. When the
indicator is fully over to the right (green sector), the battery is fully charged. When
the indicator falls in the red sector your battery is low in charge and need to be re-
charged. Refer to the battery and battery charging section for further details.

11
3. Speed Control Knob: The speed control knob allows you to select the speed of
travel, turtle mode or rabbit mode. Adjustments can be made as you travel.
Note: When driving up a slope or similar obstacles your Luggie motor will be working
harder than usual, the battery gauge will move into the red sector. The indicator on the
battery meter will regulate to actual charge once the load on your motor is reduced.
In conditions listed above, the battery indicator gauge is not a true indicator of amount
of charge left on the battery.
FIG 7
4. Forward, Reverse Control (Wig-Wag) Lever: The wig wag control lever is located
on the top console in front of the handlebar as seen in (FIG 8). Gripping on the right
lever will move your Luggie in a forward direction. Gripping on the left wig-wag lever
will move the Luggie in a reverse direction. To stop, simply release the wig-wag lever.
FIG 8 FIG 9
Warning: Do not hang bags or other belongings over the steering handlebars,
doing so may interfere with the movement of your control lever. Failure to observe this
warning could put you in a dangerous situation.
Note: Your Authorized Luggie Distributor can modify your vehicle for left-hand
operation use if requested.
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 a care provider who can assist you.
You are now ready to go. Always think safety first!
Enjoy your new Luggie scooter!
5. Sleep Time: When your Luggie scooter has been idle for 15 minutes or more, it will
automatically go into sleep mode to conserve battery charge. There are two ways to
wake the Luggie in sleep mode. One way to wake Luggie is to toggle the wig-wag a
couple of times. The recommended way to wake the Luggie is to power off the scooter
before powering it back on.

12
Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel device for your convenience
when you need to push the scooter.
To put your scooter in freewheel mode, locate the magnetic brake release (red
handled lever) located in the rear right hand side of your scooter under your seat as
pictured. (FIG 10).
Make certain the Luggie power switch located under the right handlebar is switched off.
Push forward the magnetic brake release (red handled lever) (FIG10) until a
distinct click is felt to disengage the magnetic brake. You can now push your
Luggie with ease.
FREEWHEELING YOUR LUGGIE
Warning: Do not sit on your Luggie scooter with the freewheel device in the disengage
position. Your Luggie scooter has limited braking while in freewheel mode.
Warning: If your Luggie scooter is in the freewheel mode, you will not be able to drive.
Dismount and re-engage the drive system by pulling back on the magnetic brake release (red

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS
Warning: Do not attempt to operate your new Luggie scooter for the first time
without completely reading and understanding all of the facts in this User’s Manual.
Your Luggie scooter is a state-of-the-art device designed to enhance and increase
your mobility. If you have a medical condition, it is recommended for you to practice
driving in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a
family member or care professional specially trained in assisting the scooter operator
in various daily living activities. When you begin to use your Luggie scooter, you will
probably encounter situations in which you will need some practice. Simply take your
time and you will soon become confident and in control as you maneuver through
doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps and over moderate terrains.
Below are some tips, precautions and other safety measures that will help you become
accustomed to the safe operation of your Luggie scooter. Your Luggie scooter is fitted
with a number of safety warning & instruction labels. These labels communicate
important warnings. Please familiarize yourself with their locations on your scooter.
SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your Luggie scooter and its capabilities. We recommend 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 and Maintenance' section of this manual. Perform the following inspection prior
to using your Luggie.
Check the contact area of the battery. Make certain they are serviceable and
not corroded.
Check that your battery has been fully charged.
Check your scooter brakes. Ensure the scooter is not in freewheel mode.
Warning: Do not carry passengers on your Luggie. Your scooter is designed for a
single occupant. Carrying passengers on your scooter may result in personal injury and/
or property damage.
WEIGHT CAPACITY
Your Luggie scooter is design for a maximum user weight limit of 113.6 kg(250 lbs).
Warning: Do not exceed the weight capacity of your scooter. Doing so will
invalidate your warranty and may result in personal injury and/or damage to your
scooter. Luggie will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting
from failure to observe these weight limitations. Please also remember that carrying
heavy objects will increase your total weight and may make your scooter unstable.

14
CORNERING
Excessively high cornering speeds may result in 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, inclined 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.
Caution: 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: When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your Luggie
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 Luggie scooter is equipped with two powerful brake systems:
Warning: Your scooter can decelerate very quickly. Do not decelerate or turn
abruptly when travelling at high speed unless absolutely necessary. Always grip the
steering handlebars tightly and position your feet rmly on the oor board of the scooter.
Operators who cannot grip the handlebars tightly and/or place their feet firmly against
the oorboard 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 Luggie scooter.
Caution: Never drive down slopes at full speed. Always adjust your speed to the
driving condition and allow for gradual descents on inclines no more than six degrees.
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your Luggie scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving
conditions i.e. dry, level surfaces composed of concrete or asphalt. There will be times
when you will encounter other surfaces such as packed soil, grass and gravel.
1.
2.
Regenerative: This uses the electricity generated in your Luggie drive motor to
rapidly slow your scooter when the wig-wag lever is returned to the stop position.
Electric/Mechanical Disc Brake: This activates mechanically after the regenerative
brake slows your scooter to a near stop, or when power is removed from the drive
system. 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.

15
These surfaces may not be sound and fail to give good traction, caution should be
considered before driving on these types of surface to prevent stability problems resulting
in injury or damage to you and your scooter. Always reduce your scooters speed when
driving on uneven terrain or soft surfaces by turning the speed control knob (located on the
left side of the top console) counter clockwise (toward the turtle mode).
Caution: Avoid driving in long and unsafe grass that can become tangles in the gears
of your scooter.
Caution: Avoid snow. This can quickly build up around your wheels.
Caution: Avoid loosely packed sand and gravel. If you feel unsure about a
driving surface, please avoid that surface. Your scooter is a motorized device. Use your
good judgment when traveling to avoid injury and damage to yourself, the scooter and
properties of others.
STREET AND ROADWAY DRIVING
Warning: Your Luggie scooter has not been designed for operation on public
streets and roads.It is designed for operation on pedestrian pavements and traffic free
shopping areas.
Your Luggie scooter must be driven with due care and compliance with the Road
Traffic Acts and conditions of the Highway Code. Always obey all local pedestrian
traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme
caution.
Note: Always wear bright or illuminating clothing when driving your scooter. Be aware
that it may be difcult for pedestrians and other motorized vehicles to see you when you
are seated on your scooter. Only drive your scooter on the road when public pavements or
sidewalks are not available (i.e. in the countryside) or when crossing the roadway from one
pavement to another.
INSURANCE
Although it is not a legal requirement for accident insurance coverage (third party), it is
a sensible precaution. Your 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: Do not operate your scooter in icy or slippery conditions or on salted
surfaces i.e. roads and pavements. Such use may result in accident, personal injury or
adversely affect the performance and safety of your scooter.
Warning: It is recommended that you do not expose your scooter to any type moisture
at any time i.e. rain, snow or power washer. Such exposure may damage your scooter.
Never drive through deep water or expose your scooter to sea water. Do not operate your
scooter if it has been exposed to heavy moisture until it has been thoroughly dried out.

16
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.
Warning: Do not sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury
may result. Always make certain that your Luggie is properly secured when being
transported. Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
ACCESSING YOUR SCOOTER
Getting on and off your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the
following tips when getting on or off your scooter:
Make certain your Luggie scooter is powered off.
Make certain the seat and handlebars are locked rmly into position.
The armrests can be lifted up to allow easier access. If your armrests are installed, make
certain you do not attempt to drive with the armrests raised.
Warning: Position yourself as far back into the scooter seat as possible to
prevent tipping and injury.
Warning: Avoid using the armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause
the scooter to tip and cause personal injury and/or damage.
Warning: Avoid putting all of your weight onto the floorboard, such use may
cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
Warning: Do not overload your scooter at the rear when climbing an
incline. Always lean forward to provide the best stability and prevent rearward
tipping.
Warning: Any attempt to climb or descend an incline steeper than shown in the scooter
specication at the rear of this manual may put your scooter in an unstable position and
cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury. Never remove the anti-tipping wheels of
your scooter. They are an important part of your scooters design. See also Incline.
MODIFICATIONS
Luggie scooter has been designed to provide maximum mobility. A range of accessories are
available from your Authorized Luggie Resellers to further customize your scooter needs.
Under no circumstances should you modify, add, remove or disable any feature, part or
function of your mobility scooter.
Warning: Failure to observe the above warning may result in personal injury and/
or damage to you, your scooter and properties.

17
INCLINES
More and more modern buildings are designed with disability access in mind.
Ramps have specied percentage of incline designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps
may have turning switchbacks (180 degree turns) that require you to have good cornering
skills on your scooter. Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a
ramp or other incline. Always sit with your back on the back rest of your seat, brace your
hands on the handlebars and position your feet on the oorboard of your scooter.
Take a wide arc with your Luggie around tight corners. Your rear wheels will follow
preventing you from cutting the corner short and bumping or getting hung up on raised
curbs. When descending an incline, keep your speed adjustment set to the slowest speed to
ensure a safely controlled descent. Always drive down an incline facing forward only. If
your scooter descent is quicker than you anticipated, allow the scooter to completely stop,
then progress at a slower speed setting.
Warning: Never drive down an incline at full speed. When climbing an incline, try
to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then accelerate
smoothly with caution. Avoid sudden stops and starts. Lean forward towards your
handlebars to increase stability and prevent rear tipping when moving up the incline.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Warning: Luggie scooter is not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators.
Always use an elevator. Failure to observe this warning may result in injury to yourself and
others and damage your scooter.
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRO-MOBILE SCOOTER

Warning: If you are not an accomplished outdoors mobility scooter driver, we strongly
recommend that you rst practice in an open area, free from trafc and preferably with an
attendant who can assist you. When ready, proceed to power on the Luggie. The battery
indicator gauge needle will move to the amount of charge left on your battery and the status
light on the power switch will illuminate as a solid. Gently press the right wig wag lever to
move forward. To stop, simply release the wig-wag lever to trigger the brakes.
Warning: When powering on the scooter, do not accidently depress the wig-wag levers
on your Luggie. The above action will result in your scooter going into fault mode. To clear
the fault, power off before powering back on.
Warning: If your Luggie has been adapted for left hand user, forward and reverse
operations will be reversed. For instance, when you press the left wig-wag lever the scooter
will move forward and the right wig-wag lever will drive the scooter in reverse.
LEARNING TO GET AROUND TIGHT SPACES
If you must steer in a tight spot, such as through a doorway or when turning around, stop,
turn the handlebars to where you want to go, and then apply the power gently. This will
make the Luggie turn sharply yet move gently, with complete stability. Practice in an open
area, until you are procient. Driving in reverse will require more attention.
Remember: When driving in reverse, you have to steer in the opposite direction to the way
you want to go. Practice in open space as required. Please note,reverse speed is set to half
the forward speed for your safety.
Remember: If trying to make a tight turn, turn your steering column or tiller before
applying power. Steer wide of all corners and obstacles. Please move slowly with care.
Warning: Do not power off your scooter while it is in motion. Failure to observe this
warning may irreparably damage the main electronic speed control unit or transmission.
Always power off when your scooter is stationary.
GETTING THROUGH DOORWAYS
When you start using your Luggie, you will meet some obstacles that will require some
practice for smooth driving experience. Here are some common problems, with tips to help
you master them quickly. You will soon be in control through doorways and travel up and
down ramps with surprising ease by following the tips suggested below.
Approach an unfamiliar doorway slowly. Size it up. Does the door have a knob or
push bar? Does it open toward you or away from you? Think in terms of using the
power of the Luggie to do the work for you! You need not strain. Hold the door
knob or bar in one hand and apply power with the other hand. (Remember that you
can drive forwards by using your left finger to move the wig-wag lever towards
you.) If the door is self-closing, you can go though, allowing the door to close
