PaceSaverOWNERS MANUAL
Introduction
Congratulations on your choice of a PaceSaver Scooter! It is a dependable
vehicle built for power and performance. The PaceSaver’s rear wheel drive sys-
tem will outperform front wheel drive styles on any surface, indoors or out. It
has excellent handling characteristics and its compact design makes it agile in
even the smallest places. The PaceSaver’s patented separation makes it easy
to assemble and disassemble. It's easy to operate controls give you more of what
you are looking for in a scooter.
But it is important that you understand what your scooter is, and what it is
not. PaceSaver scooters are designed to provide safe, reliable transportation to
older or mildly physically handicapped individuals who have difficulty in getting
around. It will safely take you everywhere the specifications indicate as long as
you follow the simple safety guidelines shown on the next few pages.
PaceSavers (like all scooters) are not all terrain vehicles that you can use out
in the fields to drag brush around or climb steep hills. They were not meant to
go hunting in, or transport you thru hazardous environments. They also are not
designed for the severely handicapped individual who is trying to avoid a power
wheelchair. You must have good stability, motor control and above all else, good
common sense to use our scooter or any other brand. If you feel that you cannot
safely operate this vehicle at all times you should not use a scooter!
Important Please read the entire manual carefully before attempting to
drive your new PaceSaver.
Remember to read all service recommendations outlined in this manual to
achieve trouble free, safe and enjoyable operation of your PaceSaver. Failure to
follow the recommended service procedures will damage your scooter and such
damageis not covered underwarranty. Contactyourdealerifyou have questions
after reading this manual.

orproperty damage which may occur during any use which does not comply with
applicableFederal,State,orLocallawsandordinances or methods recommended
in this manual. Ifindoubt about your ability to operate yourPaceSaver, consult
your doctor.
NOTE: MODIFYING AND/OR TAMPERING IN ANY UNAUTHORIZED
MANNER WITH THE SCOOTER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND MAY
CAUSE THE SCOOTER TO MALFUNCTION, EXPOSING YOU TO PHYSI-
CAL HARM.
ATTENTION: This manual covers several styles of the PaceSaver. While most
of the information is the same for all styles, make sure that the specifications you
are reading applies to the particular styles you have. If you are unsure of the
styles PaceSaver you have, contact your dealer.
Your PaceSaver is a vehicle which provides independence and freedom to people
with limited mobility. Driver error can cause injury to the driver and to other
people. Please use common sense, courtesy, and obey the following guidelines for
vehicle operation.
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL
BEFORE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.
Safety Guidelines
Always turn the key switch to the OFF position when stopped or when getting off
or on the PaceSaver. This keeps you from accidentally hitting the throttle and
causing an accident. For persons with limited lower body strength, or persons
who make slide transfers and may forget to turn the key switch off, we recom-
mend the use of the delta tiller option. Delta tillers can limit access to controls
for people with limited hand flexibility - Fingertip controls may be required.
Use extra caution
when riding your PaceSaver off of the pavement or on rough, uneven
surfaces or tipping and injury will result. If you intend to operate your
PaceSaver
on rough, uneven surfaces, and are willing to sacrifice indoor maneuverability,
consider our Wide Tire Option (not available on certain styles) for increased
stability.

-4-
Do not exceed the incline specifications for the style of PaceSaver that you own or it will
become unstable and tipping will result. Persons with limited ability to protect them-
selves (like persons paralyzed on one side) should use protective equipment such as
bicycle headgear. The specification chart in your manual will indicate the maximum
incline for your particular style.
Keep your feet on the floorpan while riding the PaceSaver to avoid hitting them on
objects as you drive.
Lock the seat assembly before operating the PaceSaver to prevent yourself from falling
from the seat while moving.
Remember, The PaceSaver is built to carry a single person. Do not carry passengers under
any circumstances or accidents and bodily injury will occur.
Always
go straight up or down curb cuts or a ditch, not at an angle. You want the front wheels
and the rear wheels to climb up or go down together, not one at a time. Not doing this
will result in the steering tiller violently swinging from side to side (as a car would in
a ditch) or the scooters overturning. Also approach curb access ramps the same way,
straight on, not at an angle. NEVER attempt to go up or down a regular height curb or
tipping and personal injury will result!
Driving the PaceSaver in busy streets, busy parking lots, or in crowded shopping malls can
be dangerous for you or other people as you may be struck by a vehicle or you might
strike a pedestrian. Use caution in congested areas at all times. WARNING, Driv-
ing at night or around large vehicles is dangerous as it makes it difficult for drivers to
see you. Being struck or crushed by vehicles can result in death.
Lean forward a slight amount when traveling up an incline.
NEVER
leave your scooter exposed to the elements. This includes storage outside or carrying
the scooter on an outside car-lift during periods of high moisture
( mist, rain, snow, etc.) or any other inclement weather (dust or sand storms, etc.).
Severe damage or malfunction can result.
Use caution when driving off of a curb or raised surface. The act of dropping off the edge
subjects the scooter to extreme forces that can damage the frame and other components.
This type of damage is not covered under warranty.
Disconnect the batteries before performing any maintenance beneath the seat or on the
tiller. This avoids both the possibility of injuries due to shock or accidental movement
of the scooter. Make sure that the batteries are secure when you are using the scooter.

-5-
Follow the directions of your doctor and/or pharmacist at all times. Do not drive
the PaceSaver while taking medications that affect your reflexes or mental judg-
ment, as your driving will be impaired and accidents may result. Do not drink
alcohol and operate this or any other vehicle.
The following are important things to help you drive the PaceSaver in the safest
possible manner. Please take note of each one.
WARNING: DO NOT engage in the following activities with your PaceSaver or
serious injury may result.
DO NOT remain seated on your PaceSaver while it is being loaded into a vehicle us-
ing anything other than a special scooter lift.
DO NOT use the PaceSaver as a seat in a moving vehicle. As of this date, the De-
partment of Transportation has not approved any tie down system for transportation
of a user while in a scooter in a moving vehicle of any type. The rider must be seat-
ed in a regular automotive seat and restrained by an approved automobile safety belt.
The rider must be warned that there is a many times greater likelihood of severe
injury or death in the event of an accident if they are not in the provided automotive
seat and restraint system. The following attachment points are provided for the sole
purpose of securing the mobility device without the rider. The scooter and batteries
MUST be independently and properly restrained or stored in a separate compartment
so as to prevent it from causing injury in an accident.
CONVENIENT TIE DOWN POINTS
The following is a list of convenient locations that the straps from a 4 point secure-
ment system could be anchored on PaceSaver products. These products have not
been crash tested and certified as crash worthy using these locations.
3 WHEELED SCOOTERS
Back anchor points - Place a strap around the lower portion of each armrest support.
Front anchor points - Place a strap around the front axle bolt between the wheel and
fork on each side of the wheel.
4 WHEELED SCOOTERS
Back anchor points - Place a strap around the lower portion of each armrest support.
Front anchor points - Place a strap around the front crossbar axle mount on each side.
DO NOT ride the PaceSaver with the brake manually disengaged at anytime.

-6-
DO NOT drive the PaceSaver diagonally across inclines, turn sharp or make turns at
or near full throttle at any time. Doing this will result in overturning and serious
personal injury can result.
DO NOTdrive the PaceSaver with the seat assembly higher than necessary as tipping
and serious injury may result. The lower the seat, the better your stability.
DO NOTdrive the PaceSaver with under-inflated tires as this increases the possibility
of tipping and injury. Your stability and efficiency (power and range) are also
greatly affected. Filled tires are available if you are unable to check your tire pressure.
DO NOT
stop on any incline to rest or dismount. Although the electric brake will stop
and hold you, it is best to stop in level, flat areas where there is no possibility of
rolling or tipping the unit.
DO NOT drive on inclines greater than the rating for your style PaceSaver or
tipping will result. Refer to the Specification Sheet and Ramp Incline Chart else
where in this manual.
DO NOT allow the PaceSaver controls to become wet. Never wash off the scooter
using a hose or a stream of water, drive through standing water or ride in the rain.
Possible loss of control and/or electronic damage will occur. Do not attempt to ride a
scooter that has been soaked until it has had a chance to dry thoroughly.
DO NOT leave the PaceSaver where it is exposed to high temperatures (a car trunk,
etc.) or to poor weather conditions such as rain or snow or freezing conditions as
damage to the unit will occur.
DO NOT disassemble any wheel at any time while still inflated. The pressure may
blow wheel rims apart while you are loosening them.
DO NOT ride the unit near stairs, ledges or in any other potentially dangerous situation.
DO NOT ride the scooter over power cords, oxygen lines, hoses or any other material
that could become entangled in the wheels or get caught in the drive mechanism of the
scooter or while connected to equipment off of the scooter, as serious injury may result.

-7-
Persons having disabilities which limit their ability to remain erect without assistance,
(stroke patients, severe muscular diseases, etc.) should carefully evaluate whether they
should operate a scooter at all. If they decide, with the advise of their physician or an-
other advisor, that they are capable of safely operating a scooter, they should consider
the use of a bicycle helmet or pads when operating a scooter. These articles would help
protect them should they find themselves in a hazardous situation where they could
tip over because of their lack of balance. The controller can also be programmed to
fit your requirements.
DIFFERENT STYLES OF SCOOTERS HAVE DIFFERENT INCLINE
CLIMBINGABILITIES. CAREFULLY STUDYTHE CHART TO SEE THE
CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS FOR YOUR UNIT. DO NOT EXCEED THE
SPECIFICATIONS OF THE SCOOTER STYLE YOU PURCHASED!
RAMPS, STEEPTERRAIN, CURBS, STEPS & RIDER TRANSFER
RIDER TRANSFER: Refer to the section of the owners manual titled
'Getting On and Off the PaceSaver'.
USE CURB CUTS whenever possible to go up and
down curbs.
Always drive straight up/down or perpendicular
to curbs or curb cuts. Never traverse at an angle.
DO NOT drive on ramps or steep terrain greater than
12 degrees.
DO NOT attempt to drive your scooter backward down
any step, curb or any other obstacle.
DO NOT drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges,
and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches, stairs, ect.).

Getting On and Off the PaceSaver
The following is a recommended method for getting on your PaceSaver.
1. The scooter should be stopped on a flat, level surface with the key in the
OFF position.
2. Rotate the unlocked seat assembly to one side & re-lock.
3. Position yourself squarely in front of the seat and lower yourself into the
seat using the armrests if necessary.
4. Unlock the seat and rotate toward the front of the scooter. Lock the seat in
position by pushing down on the seat lock lever firmly. The seat will not move
when locked correctly. Lower the tiller to a comfortable angle. Never use the
tiller as a support while getting on and off the scooter.
5. When seated comfortably, you can drive the PaceSaver.
The method for getting off is the reverse procedure.
1. Turn the key switch OFF when stopped.
2. Raise the tiller out of your way.
3. Unlock the seat lock and rotate the seat to one side, then re-lock it.
4. Stand up carefully.
WARNING
Keep the key in the OFF position at all times when stopped or when getting on or off the scooter.
Sudden accidental movement of the scooter will be avoided with the key in the OFF position.
Tipping can occur if you get on the PaceSaver in a manner other than recommended.
Tipping can be avoided by keeping your weight away from the outer edges until seated.
If you step into the scooter, step near the center of the floorpan, not near the edge. Tipping
can also occur if you turn the steering tiller sharply while traveling at or near full throttle.

-13-
Operating the PaceSaver
All controls for PaceSaver operation are located on the tiller mounted panel (See FIGURE 1).
Become familiar with all controls with the key in the OFF position. Each is described in
the following section.
Control Console
1. ON and OFF KEY SWITCH. Turning the key to the ON position turns the power
on. In this position, the key cannot be removed. NOTE: There is a 3 second diagnostic delay
when key is turned on. Turning to the OFF position turns the power off. The key should al-
ways be in the OFF position when you are not driving, or when getting off or on the scooter.
The key can only be removed when in the OFF (stopped) position.
SAFETY INFORMATION - The key switch can also be used as a master switch for the
scooter's braking system. In the improbable event that the scooter should fail to stop or return
to the off position, turning the key switch to the off position automatically and immediately
causes the brake to engage and the scooter to come to a quick halt. Use great care in this situ-
ation to avoid an accident!
ATTENTION: When using the scooter key ring, DO NOT attach additional keys or acces-
sories to the key ring. These additional weights, coupled with scooter vibrations, may cause

NOTE:The battery indicator will tell you if power is applied.The indicator only works when
the key is switched ON and all battery connections are made.
Your scooter is equipped with a battery saver circuit. It will shut off the controller after 20
minutes of non-use (even with your key "ON").The system is reset by turning the key "OFF"
and back "ON" again.
2. SPEED SETTING KNOB. Use this knob, located to the left of the key switch, to
dial in the scooter's top speed and power. Rotate the dial counterclockwise toward the turtle
(1) for use indoors or in tight areas where speed is not required. A higher setting toward the
rabbit (10) is suitable for outdoors and open areas where higher speeds are manageable.When
driving on difficult terrain or for persons with more limited physical control, use a lower top
speed setting. If you set the knob between 5 & 10, the control's "power boost" feature will
automatically increase power to maintain the top speed you are comfortable with. Should
you not be able to use the speed control knob, your dealer can program the control for a
slower top speed.
3. BATTERY METER. This meter indicates the charge condition of the batteries
while you are driving. The batteries are in a good charge condition if the needle is in the
green area while you are driving. The needle in the red area while driving corresponds
to a low charge. It is possible to drive the scooter with the needle in the red area for a short
time. You must charge the batteries as soon as possible. Refer to the battery charging sec-
tion for more information.
4. HORN. The white button on the front of the control panel is the horn button.
Simply pressing it sounds the horn.
5. THROTTLE LEVER. The black lever under the control panel is the throttle
lever. Push the lever slowly with your thumb in the direction of the arrows on the control
faceplate to make the scooter go forward or reverse. Pushing the lever in slightly will make
the scooter begin to move. The further you depress the lever the faster the scooter moves.
The top speed set by the SPEED knob is reached by fully depressing the throttle lever.
Completely releasing the throttle bar will stop power to the motor and activate the brakes
as you come to a complete stop. EMERGENCY STOPS - To stop quickly while driving
in forward or reverse, change throttle bar direction (i.e. when going down an incline, to stop
quickly move the throttle bar from forward to reverse.) Release the bar quickly to avoid driv-
ing in the opposite direction.
PLEASE NOTE: Should the throttle /brake control system not stop the unit, turning the
key switch off will engage all brakes and bring the unit to a smooth stop. This backup system
should only be used in the unlikely event that the primary brake control is disabled, as it puts
an added stress on the components.

"SOFT TOUCH" TILLER INFORMATION SHEET
PACESAVER SCOOTERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH A "SOFT TOUCH" TILLER
HEADLIGHT - The headlight is operated by the switch located on the back panel of the tiller.
TURN SIGNAL - If your scooter has the optional turn signals, it will have push button switches located
on the sides of the tiller. CAUTION: The headlights and optional turn signals must be shut off after use to
prevent discharging your batteries.
TILLER PIVOT MECHANISM - The tiller angle can be adjusted from vertical to horizontal. To make
adjustments, push on the release lever while moving the tiller closer or farther away for yourself. Let go
of the release lever to lock the tiller into position (See FIGURE 2).
CHARGER CONNECTIONS
ON-BOARD CHARGER - If you have an on-board charger it will be mounted on the scooter.
You will have a charger cord with a 110 VAC plug on one end and a 3 pin rectangular plug on the
opposite end. Plug the cord into the rectangular charger port on the back plate and the opposite end
into and AC outlet. Refer to the battery charging section in this manual for more information
(See FIGURE 2).
OFF BOARD CHARGERS - If you have an off board charger, it will not be mounted on the
scooter. You will have a charger with a cord having an AC plug on one end and a cord with a
round plug on the other end. Connect the round plug to the tiller back plate and plug the AC cord
to an AC outlet. Refer to the battery charging section in this manual for more information
(See FIGURE 2).
NOTICE: The battery charger provided is specially designed for use with PaceSaver brand equipment.
In the unlikely event of failure it should be replaced only with a PaceSaver approved charger to assure
proper performance ot the charger and scooter.

For your first ride we recommend the following.
1. Make sure the area is flat, open and free of obstacles.
2. Make sure the tiller is properly adjusted to fit your driving needs. Refer to the "Soft Touch" Tiller
section in this manual for more information.
3. Make sure the seat is in the locked position (handle is down).
4. Turn the SPEED setting knob to the turtle (1) .
5. Turn the key switch to ON.
6. Push the throttle lever on the “F” side (“F” for Forward) with your thumb to go forward.
7. SLOWLY rotate the SPEED setting knob from the turtle position. Rotate the knob until the
desired top speed is reached.
8. Release the throttle lever to come to a stop. Take note of how the braking feels. The clicking you
might hear upon starting and shortly after releasing the throttle lever is the Posi-Lock Electric
Disk Brake disengaging and engaging.
9. Push the throttle lever on the “R” side (“R” for Reverse) with your thumb to go backward. There is
a factory set forty percent (40%) reduction in speed in the reverse direction WITHOUT any change
in the SPEED SETTING KNOB. Always make sure the area behind you is clear before backing up.
10. Remember to turn the key OFF when not driving or getting on or off the scooter.
WARNING
PaceSavers are designed for high maneuverability, but use caution when encountering obstacles. Failure
to drive cautiously can result in tipovers or collisions which may cause physical injury. When approaching
an obstacle keep your speed at a minimum and maintain a safe distance from that object.
BE PREPARED TO STOP. Avoid any small objects on the ground. The scooter's ground clearance may be
less than the size of the object. Running over an object or into a depression could cause overturning or
damage to the scooter. NEVER ride the unit near platforms, stairs, ledges, curbs or in any other potentially
dangerous situation as severe injury can occur.
WARNING
PaceSaver Titan andAtlas models are high performance vehicles. As with Sport Utility Vehicles they require
more caution when operating. Because of the extra power and speed they are more susceptible to tipping
in rough terrain and tight turns at high speed. Serious injury can result. For that reason you should always use
caution when operating at higher speed.
Remember, speed can be "Dialed Down" using the speed setting knob on the control console without los-
ing power to run at the slower speed. If necessary, the unit can be permanently programmed by your dealer
to operate at a speed more suitabe for your control. Use caution while learning to operate this vehicle and
consult your dealer if you have any problems. This unit should not be used by people with limited physical
upper body strength.

The PaceSaver Braking Systems
The PaceSaver’s brake systems allow for smooth start up and safe braking without
undue jerking. There are three (3) separate modes to the braking system: Regenerative,
Dynamic, and Posi-Lock Electric Braking. All braking occurs automatically during scooter
operation. Each type of braking is described in the following.
1. Regenerative Braking is activated while driving the PaceSaver down an incline.
When the scooter picks up speed going down the incline, the motor generates electricity.
This electricity is channeled back through the PaceSaver’s electronic control circuits to
recharge the batteries. This action keeps the scooter from picking up excess speed and pro-
vides for smooth speed control.
2. Dynamic Braking is activated WITHOUT delay when all power is stopped to
the motor by releasing the throttle lever, as when coming to a complete stop. This braking
works until the Posi-Lock Electric brake is activated.
3. Posi-Lock Electric Braking Disk is activated with delay when all power is stopped to
themotor.Thiselectricbrake has a shortdelayandultimatelyholdsthePaceSaverat a complete
stop. The scooter cannot be moved when this brake is activated. Dynamic Braking works in
conjunction with Posi-Lock Electric Braking to bring you to a gradual and complete stop.
PLEASE NOTE: Should the throttle /brake control system not stop the unit, turning the key
switch off will engage all brakes and stop the unit immediately. This backup system should
only be used in the unlikely event that the primary brake control is disabled, as it puts an
added stress on the components.
BRAKE DISENGAGE MECHANISM
The PaceSaver is equipped with a manual Brake Disengage Mechanism. This mecha-
nism allows the scooter to be moved in the event the batteries are run low, or if there is a
malfunction.
Caution:
DO NOT ride the PaceSaver with the Brake Disengage Mechanism activated at any
time. Our "push-to-fast" circuit slows the unit down but does not stop it. DO NOT ride or
sit on the scooter with these systems disengaged or if the brakes are inoperative. Have the
system repaired immediately.

-18-
MANUAL BRAKE RELEASE FOR ALL PACESAVER SCOOTERS
Activating the disengage mechanism is as follows.
1. Be certain the scooter is on flat level ground.
2. Locate the Black release knob on the top right of the rear cover. Pull the black
knob upfirmly until the cart freewheels. This disengages the Posi-Lock disc brake but
retains dynamic & regenerative motor braking if the key switch is turned on.
3. Always turn the key to the "OFF" position when the brake release is in the up posi-
tion. This disengages the dynamic braking systems and initiates our exclusive "Push
to Fast" braking system which activates if the scooter rolls beyond a crawling speed.
Never sit on the scooter with the brake disengaged! The scooter can move unexpect-
edly and cause damage or injury.
There is a label on the rear cover like this
to help you operate the disengage.
Deactivating the disengage is as follows.
1. First, press the black release knob back down until it is firmly seated in its original
position to engage the "posi-lock" brake.
2. Second, turn the key to the "OFF" and then to the "ON" position. All braking sys-
tems are again activated and normal scooter operation may resume.
SHOULD THE BRAKE DISENGAGE ON A SCOOTER EVER
