•Release thumb lever and allow scooter to stop completely before changing from forward
to reverse, or reverse to forward.
•When turning to a corner, swing the front wheels widely, so back wheels will turn more
tightly.
•Use scooter only where it is sate for walking.
•Use low speed when in reverse, going downhill, climbing curbs, on ramps, or on uneven
surfaces.
Keep in mind these rules
:
Hill climbing: You may need to use a higher speed for hill climbing. For a higher speed,
set the speed control toward the image of the rabbit.
Down slope: Proceed with downward slope slowly, and set speed control in proximity
of turtle. The closer the speed control is set toward turtle, the slower
scooter travels. However, scooter will not self accelerate down hills due
to the automatic braking, taking effect when you attempt to drive too fast.
Curb climbing: Approach slowly at right angles to the curb. A direct approach is needed.
Do not attempt to climb curbs greater than a 2" curb.
If Self-Diagnostic Warning Light start to blink, identify problem from the
chart on page 16 and take action.
If scooter breaks down and must be moved, get off scooter, engage
Free-wheeling Lever to N, push scooter slowly to a safe location, and
then move free-wheeling lever back to D.
Other Operating Information
:
As a safety feature, an automatic speed reducer engages when scooter is
pushed too quick and the Free-Wheeling Lever is on N.
