2. SAFETY
Your Zippy Lite™ is a battery-operated personal mobility vehicle. Please exercise caution and
consideration when you are operating it. Driving your Zippy Lite carefully and thoughtfully will help
ensure your personal safety and the safety of other people.
NOTE: Before learning to operate your Zippy Lite, have your authorized Zippy Mobility dealer
determine if it is advisable for you to practice getting on and off your scooter and operating it in the
presence of an attendant.
BEFORE GETTING ON YOUR ZIPPY LITE
Check to be certain that the power is turned off. See section 5. "Operation" in this manual. This
will eliminate the possibility of accidentally activating the paddle controls and causing injury to
yourself and/or others.
•Check to be certain that your Zippy Lite’s freewheel lever is in the engaged position. See section
5. “Operation” in this manual.
•Flip up the armrest(s).
When getting on or off your Zippy Lite, keep your weight toward the middle of the
deck. Putting most or all of your weight on the edge of the deck may cause an
unstable condition.
GETTING ON YOUR ZIPPY LITE
•Position the seat for safe and easy mounting. Ensure that the seat is facing forward. See section
5. "Operation."
•Return tiller to full upright position if necessary.
•Carefully place one foot on the approximate centre of the deck and seat yourself comfortably
and securely on the seat.
•Flip down the armrest(s).
GETTING OFF YOUR ZIPPY LITE
•Make certain that the power is turned off and the key is removed.
•Return tiller to full upright position
•Flip up the armrest(s).
•Carefully place one foot on the ground, transfer your weight to that leg, and slowly come to a
standing position.
•Step away from the scooter.
MAXIMUM WEIGHT
Your Zippy Lite has been rated to a maximum payload (operator and anything else being carried on
the scooter) of 136 kgs. Exceeding the maximum weight rating will void the warranty.
Exceeding the maximum weight rating may result in injury to yourself and/or others.

Figure 2: Going up an incline.
Figure 3: Traversing an incline.
DRIVING ON INCLINES
•For maximum stability, lean forward in your Zippy Lite’s seat while proceeding up ramps,
inclines, curbs, or any low rise. See figure 2.
•Drive with caution when attempting to negotiate any incline, even handicap access ramps.
•Always climb or descend an incline by driving straight up or straight down the face of the slope.
See figure 2.
•Do not traverse or drive across the face of an incline in any direction. See figure 3.
•Do not attempt to negotiate an incline that is covered with snow, ice, cut or wet grass, leaves, or
any other potentially hazardous material.
•Do not back down an incline.
•Try to keep your Zippy Lite moving when climbing an incline. If you do come to a stop, restart
and accelerate slowly and carefully.
•Do not try to descend or climb a slope whose gradient is greater than recommended.
* Zippy Lite maximum recommend incline is 6°.
If, while you are driving down a slope, your scooter starts to move faster than you
feel is safe, release the throttle control lever and allow your Zippy Lite to come to a
stop. When you feel that you again have control of your scooter, push the throttle
control lever forward and continue safely down the remainder of the slope.
DRIVING DOWN A DECLINE
•Lower speed setting.
•Whenever it is safely possible, drive forward down any ramp, low rise, or incline.
Zippy Mobility does not recommend that you drive your scooter in reverse down any incline, ramp,
curb, or low rise. Backing down any slope may create a very hazardous situation. If it is necessary to
back down a slope follow one of two procedures.

OWNER’S MANUAL ZIPPY 3 / 4 LITE

NOTE: When using either of the following procedures to back down a slope, Zippy Mobility strongly
advises that you have the assistance of another person.
Procedure 1 - Under Power
1. Set the key switch to the “Off” position. See section 5. “Operation.”
2. Turn the speed control dial fully counter clockwise to its slowest setting.
3. Dismount your Zippy Lite.
4. Set the key switch to the “On” position. See section 5. “Operation.”
5. While standing alongside your scooter, carefully operate the controls at the lowest speed
setting. See section 5. “Operation.”
6. Slowly and carefully back your scooter down the incline.
7. Carefully remount your Zippy Lite and resume normal operation.
When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the park brake is released. The weight of
the scooter on a slope may cause you to lose control of the scooter. If you do not feel
capable of manually controlling your scooter down the slope, request assistance or
do not attempt to use this procedure.
Procedure 2 - Emergency (No Power)
1. Set the key switch to the “Off” position. See section 5. “Operation.”
2. Dismount your Zippy Lite.
3. Set the freewheel lever to “Disengaged.”
4. While standing alongside the scooter, carefully manually manoeuvre it down the slope.
5. When you have reached a level surface at the bottom of the slope, position the freewheel lever
in the engaged position. See section 5. “Operation.”
6. Carefully remount your Zippy Lite, and set the key switch to the “On” position to restore power.
MOTOR BRAKING SYSTEM
Your scooter is equipped with a system that uses the motor to aid in braking. This motor brake
system is designed to work when the key is in either the on position or the off position.
When the key is in the on position, the freewheel is in the engaged position, and the scooter is under
power, the motor will help slow down the scooter as soon as you take your hand off of the throttle
lever.
When the key switch is in the off position and the freewheel is in the disengaged position, the motor
brake system will keep you from pushing the scooter too fast (i.e. down a slope).
You may notice this when pushing the scooter. The scooter will move freely until you reach a certain
speed. You will then encounter some resistance as the motor brake system is activated.
