lever. Turn the
adjustment nut clockwise one half turn while keeping
the lever from turning. Close the lever. Repeat this
procedure until the stem is held tightly.
If the quick release cannot be closed, turn the adjust-
ment nut counterclockwise one quarter turn while
keeping the lever from turning. Close the lever.
Repeat this procedure until the quick release closes
and the stem is held tightly.
Before using the scooter, make sure that the scooter is
set up as described and that all parts are securely
tightened.
The batteries must be charged before the scooter can
be used. Refer to page 5 for battery charging instruc-
tions.

How to Operate the Scooter
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
The scooter’s sealed lead-acid batteries should be
charged and stored at temperatures between 50°F and
100°F (10°C and 38°C). If the temperature is warmer,
the batteries will discharge more rapidly. If the tempera-
ture is cooler, the scooter should be moved to a warmer
area while the batteries are being charged. Follow the
steps below to charge the batteries.
1. Make sure the on/off switch on the right side of the
scooter is in the off position with the key removed.
Important: If the on/off switch is in the on position
and the throttle is pushed while the batteries are
being charged, the battery charger will be damaged
and the scooter may also be damaged.
2. Locate the charging socket near the on/off switch.
Identify the cord on the battery charger that fits into
the charging socket and plug the cord into the charg-
ing socket. Plug the other cord on the battery charger
into a 110-volt outlet.
3. Allow the batteries to charge for about five to eight
hours. After the batteries are charged, unplug the bat-
tery charger from the 110-volt outlet first and then
unplug the battery charger from the charging socket
on the scooter.
For maximum battery life, avoid leaving the on/off
switch in the on position when the scooter is not in use.
Avoid draining the batteries. It is recommended that the
batteries be charged after each use. The batteries should
be charged at least once each month, even if the scooter
is not used.
If the batteries need to be replaced, refer to HOW TO
ORDER REPLACEMENT PARTS on page 6. Recycle
batteries according to federal and state laws.
THE ON/OFF SWITCH
The on/off switch on the right side of the scooter is the
main power switch (see the drawing at the left). Turning
the key to the “on” position will turn on the power. Once
the power is turned on, the key should be removed.
Turning the key to the “off” position will turn off the
power. When the scooter is not in use, the on/off
switch should always be in the off position with the
key removed.
When you are ready to use the scooter, insert the key,
turn it to the on position, and then remove it. Always
remove the key before operating the scooter.
OPERATING THE SCOOTER
With the on/off
switch in the
on position and
the key
removed, the
scooter can be
started with the
throttle on the
right side of
the handlebar.
To start the scooter, hold the handlebars securely, step
onto the deck with one foot while using your other foot
to maintain balance, and push the throttle with your right
thumb. (To preserve the battery charge longer, you may
wish to push off with your foot as you start the scooter.)
The scooter will immediately begin to move. When the
throttle is released, the motor will stop. Note: To prevent
damage to the motor, do not repeatedly push and release
the throttle in an attempt to move the scooter at a slower
speed.
Use the scooter only on paved, smooth, level surfaces.
Avoid using the scooter on grades steeper than 5% for
extended periods. The scooter is rated for a 225-pound
user on a hard, level surface with a surrounding tempera-
ture of 50°F; the batteries’ charge will be used faster by
heavier riders. Make sure the tires are inflated to the
pressure listed on the sides of the tires.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Regularly check the scooter and make sure all parts are
properly tightened. If the scooter does not function prop-
erly, follow the steps below. IMPORTANT: Move the
on/off switch to the off position and remove the key
before performing any of the steps below.
Symptom 1—The motor does not start when the
throttle is pushed.
1. Make sure the on/off switch is in the on position.
2. Make sure the batteries are charged.
3. Make sure the brake handle is not being pulled.
Symptom 2—The batteries discharge quickly.
1. Make sure the tires are inflated to the pressure listed
on the sides of the tires.
2. Use the scooter on level, smooth surfaces. Avoid
using the scooter on grades steeper than 5%.
3. Charge and store the batteries at temperatures
between 50°F and 100°F (10°C and 38°C).
4. If the batteries still discharge quickly, new batteries
may be needed. Refer to page 6 for instructions.
Symptom 3—The brake is too loose or too tight.
1. Locate the locknut and adjustment barrel on the
brake handle. Turn the locknut counterclockwise to
loosen it. Next, turn the adjustment barrel counter-
clockwise to tighten the brake or clockwise to loosen
it. Then, turn the locknut clockwise to retighten it.
Repeat until the hand brake is properly adjusted.
If the hand brake requires further adjustment, the
lower end of the brake cable can be adjusted.
Remove the six M8 x 17mm bolts from the deck, lift
off the deck, and locate the adjustment barrel and
locknut near the lower end of the brake cable. Using
a small open-end wrench, loosen the locknut. Next,
turn the adjustment barrel counterclockwise to tight-
en the brake or clockwise to loosen it. Then, retight-
en the locknut. Repeat until the hand brake is proper-
ly adjusted. When the hand brake is properly adjust-
ed, reattach the deck with the six bolts.
Symptom 4—The drive belt slips.
1. Locate the M10 nylon locknuts and the M6 nylon
locknuts near the rear wheel. Loosen the M10 nylon
locknuts. To tighten the drive belt, turn both M6 nylon
locknuts clockwise. Make sure the rear wheel is
straight and retighten the M10 nylon locknuts. Repeat
this procedure until the drive belt no longer slips.
Symptom 5—The quick release is too loose or too tight.
1. If the quick release doesn’t hold the stem tightly, or if
the quick release cannot be closed, refer to step 2 on
page 4 for adjustment instructions.
