the unit for 6-8 hours prior to it’s rst use. We also recommend charging
your scooter after each use and prior to storage.

4. Put one foot on the deck of the SXT while pushing off with the other foot,
gently rotate the THROTTLE GRIP, on the right side of the handlebars. The

**Your scooter has a variable speed hand throttle. You can control the
speed of your scooter by the amount of pressure you use when rotating the
hand throttle. The more you rotate, the faster you will go.

*Your SXT scooter is equipped with a variable throttle. Turn the handle to accelera-
te, then release to stop the motor. When the engine shuts off your scooter will slow
automatically, use the brakes if necessary.
STOPPING & BRAKING
1. Pour ralentir lâchez l‘accélérateur, puis pressez les leviers droits et gauches.
Appliquant une pression sur les leviers de freins ceci coupera automatiquement le
moteur.
CHARGE INDICATOR, FAULT DIAGNOSIS
1. To brake, release the THROTTLE GRIP and depress the BRAKE LEVERS (on the
left/right side of the handlebars. Depressing the brake will disengage power to the
motor. When the unit feels like it is loosing power or not accelerating to full speed,
the scooter is ready to be re-charged.
NOTE: If the on/off switch is left in the ON position for more than 10-15 minutes
without moving, Smart Power will shut itself OFF. To reset, turn the unit OFF, wait a
few seconds and then switch it back ON again.
BRAKING SYSTEM
The scooter uses a pinch braking system for the front, and a disc/caliper system for
the rear They are both activated by a hand brake lever on the left and right side
of the handlebar. Squeezing the hand brake lever with your left hand activates
the rear brake. Squeezing the hand brake lever with your right hand activates
the front brake. Make sure to release the HAND THROTTLE GRIP when engaging
the brakes. Your scooter is equipped with switches on each brake lever that will
disengage power to the motor when the brake levers are depressed.
Practice braking on a smooth, dry surface to get used to the feel of the braking
system. Braking distance is affected by wet conditions and loose and uneven riding
surfaces.

How tight should the chain be ?
• If the chain is skipping or jumping on the sprockets, this is too loose and
may be harmful.
• If the chain is making a humming sound when the wheel is turning, this is
too tight and may cause the chain to snap.
• The correct tension is achieved by adjusting the chain from its loose positi-
on to when it becomes lightly tense.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Proper care of your scooter will insure optimal performance and longer life span.
The following are a few maintenance suggestions that will keep your scooter running
in top condition.
To tighten the chains:
Slightly loosen the two axle bolts on both sides of the
rear wheel. (Fig.14). Then slowly adjust the two adjus-
ting screws on each side of the rear tire (Fig.15) until
chain reaches the proper tension.
Rotate the rear wheel to make sure the chain is alig-
ned.
Finally, lock and tighten the rear axle bolts prior to
riding.
