Mini Crosser A/S
You have now acquired an electrically powered vehicle that has been developed for outdoor use
by active users. This is a so-called class C vehicle under the European classification system for
electrical scooters.
To derive full benefit from this vehicle - and to avoid breakdowns and accidents - we recommend
that you read these instructions for use carefully. If you are a new user, please pay particular at-
tention to the section entitled »Driving the Mini Crosser T«.
Some of the sections in these instructions for use describe situations in which personal injury is
possible. So these sections require particular attention. They are marked with the following sym-
bol:
Your Mini Crosser scooter has rear-wheel drive (both wheels) using a differential drive system
similar to that of a car. It is a powerful vehicle, so careful instruction in its use is necessary.
For safety reasons this vehicle may only be lent to people who are completely familiar with the
way it works. The vehicle is designed for use by one person at a time only.
Mini Crosser 130T - 140T scooters are designed for a maximum personal weight of 150 kg. These
vehicles can be built specially by the manufacturer for a personal weight of up to 200 kg.
For reasons of safety your Mini Crosser is designed for 10 years of use (but no more than 5,000
hours), providing that it passes a safety test every year (corresponding to 500 hours of use). Servi-
cing must be carried out by an authorised workshop.
IMPORTANT! For safety reasons it is of the utmost importance that the servicing and safety check
intervals are complied with as this minimises the risk of brake failure and short-circuits in the wi-
ring with possible heat generation and fire to follow.
If you have any questions that are not answered by these instructions for use, please do not hesitate
to contact us.

Ignition key Stop position (0) Drive position (1).
Charge socket
Make sure the ignition key is turned off during charging. Please note that the scooter cannot be
driven while the batteries are being charged. Please see the section entitled “Batteries/charging”.
Handbrake
Works on the front wheels, and should only be used as an extra/emergency brake or parking brake.
Can be blocked in locked position. Also available as a foot brake.
Battery indicator
Comes on when the key is turned. Indicates the charge state of the batteries after about ½ second.
Gives a more precise indication after about 1 minute of driving. The batteries are fully charged
when the red, yellow and green zones are all lit up. When the indicator is at the bottom of the yel-
low zones, the batteries should be recharged as soon as possible. When only the red zones are lit,
or when they are flashing, the batteries should be recharged immediately.
The battery indicator is also used to show any electrical defects in your Mini Crosser. Please see
the section entitled “Troubleshooting” to find out what type of defect is involved.
Speed selector
Set at the required setting. The tortoise in the bottom position indicates the lowest speed zone (ap-
prox. 0-6 km/h). The hare in the top position indicates the highest speed zone. The speed can be
adjusted continuously in any speed zone by using the throttle.
Accessories/supplements
• The speed selector can be replaced by a 0/1 switch to set high/low speed.
• An extra speed selector (potentiometer) can be mounted on an aluminium panel under the
rear shroud.
• An extra (parent) key to limit the speed can be mounted next to the charge socket.
Throttle
Activate the front lever slowly, and your Mini Crosser will start to move slowly forwards. The
more you press, the faster the scooter will go. When you release the lever it will return to its origi-
nal position automatically and your Mini Crosser will stop. Activate the rear lever to reverse your
Mini Crosser. The magnetic brake on the rear wheels will engage when the scooter is standing still,
like a handbrake in a car.
The throttle can also be used to adjust the speed downhill, with the engine functioning as a brake.
As shown below, the throttle is also available with four-finger operation. It can be operated on the
left or right side with a twist grip like a motorbike, or with a foot pedal like a car. Combined left
and right operation with a selector switch is also an option.

Lift the seat off and remove the rear shroud. Loosen the screws retaining the seat post and adjust it
up or down into the required position. Check that the height of the seat is correct and that the seat
is straight. Tighten the screws hard. (See figures 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9).
There is a horizontal groove on the seat post. For reasons of vehicle stability, do not lift the seat
post higher than this.
Figure 5 Lift the seat up the seat post.
Figure 6 Turn the finger screw on the front of
the rear shroud anti-clockwise, and
remove it completely.
Figure 7 Pull the shroud forwards towards the tiller, then
remove it.

Figure 9 You can now pull up/push down the seat post as required. Do not pull
the seat post up higher than the horizontal groove marked on the seat
post.
Section 3B Power seats
Your Mini Crosser can be equipped with a power seat as an optional extra. If you want to raise the
seat pull the button upwards. If you want to lower the seat push the button downwards. When you
release the button the seat stops automatically. When the seat is raised more than 2 cm above bot-
tom position, the speed of the vehicle will be reduced to half.

Section 3D Tiller
The tiller can be adjusted forwards/backwards with the release lever. Pull the lever down and pull
the tiller closer to obtain a good driving position. Use the lever again to push the tiller forwards
when you want to get off - this will make it easier to get off.
The height of the tiller can be adjusted about 11 cm up or down. First remove the rubber plug co-
vering the Allen screw. Adjust the height using a 4 mm Allen key as shown in figure 12A. This is
the procedure for the 3W and 4W. Remember to tighten the screws properly after adjustment.

3W and 4W
Section 3C Rotating the seat
Pull back the release lever. The seat can rotate 90 degrees to each side. When you release the lever
it engages automatically and retains the seat every 45 degrees.
Other seats available for Mini Crosser scooters are designed according to similar principles.
The release lever is normally mounted on the right-hand side, but can be mounted on the left-hand
side if required.
NB!
Your Mini Crosser scooter is most stable when the seat is in its lowest position. So drive carefully
when the seat has been raised. Never use the power seat mechanism when driving on uneven
ground or in hilly terrain.
Be very careful when lowering the seat using the power seat mechanism. Make sure that nothing
gets stuck between the seat and the chassis.

Mini Crosser A/S
It is important to learn how to get on and off your Mini Crosser scooter safely.
In general, the following technique should be used:
 Make sure your Mini Crosser is switched off (see section entitled “Control console”) be-
fore getting on and off - the scooter might start if you touch the throttle by accident.
 Make sure the brake is on (freewheel lever in top position). See figure 22 on page 21.
 Tilt the tiller up into vertical position.
 Rotate the seat 45 or 90 degrees if necessary, and make sure the seat lock is locked (enga-
ged).
 Tip the armrest up if necessary.
Some users may require assistance. Assistants should:
Avoid hurting themselves when lifting/lowering/supporting the user.
 Make sure that your Mini Crosser is stable and cannot move. Switch the scooter off and
check that the brake is on and that the seat is engaged at either 45 degrees or 90 degrees.
 If users are moving to another chair, make sure that this chair is stable too.
There are 3 braking systems on your Mini Crosser:
Engine brake, magnetic brake and handbrake.
 The engine brake controls the speed of the scooter - even downhill.
 The magnetic brake is automatic, and is engaged when the scooter stands still. In emer-
gencies your Mini Crosser can be stopped immediately by turning the ignition key. Please
note that the scooter will then brake very hard - the rear wheels will be blocked! Do not
use this mechanism during normal operation. Never disengage the brake mechanically
using the freewheel lever on slopes. This mechanism should only be used when pushing
your Mini Crosser on flat road surfaces.
 The handbrake is designed for use in emergencies or when parking. Use it carefully in
slippery conditions and when driving downhill.

NB!
Your Mini Crosser scooter will turn itself off automatically if it stands still for 10 minutes, even
though the key switch is in drive position (see figure 2). To restart the scooter, turn the key to stop
position (0) and then to drive position (1) again.
