4-Wheel Front End
The Model R6 300 uses a 4-wheel front end to provide the maximum in
stability over a variety of outdoor terrains. Sturdy, independent front
suspension provides greater comfort and a smoother ride.
Controls
An internal, on-board, digital controller provides all major driving and
operating functions directly from the dash of the handlebar or tiller. Self-
Diagnostics provide troubleshooting information to detect electrical
problems or faults. Additionally, the controller includes a power save
feature and will shut down automatically in order to conserve battery
power when not operated for a set period of time. The scooter can be
turned on again by turning the ON/OFF keyswitch from on to off and
then on again.
Rear Section
A common rear section provides a central, easily accessible location for
controls, charger, wiring components, while serving as the mounting
point for the removable quick disconnect drivetrain.
Covers
Internal components are protected by a plastic rear cover of the scooter.
The rear cover can be removed for access to charger, controller, etc.
Charger, controller, and batteries are also protected by an internal cover
inside the rear plastic cover.
Seat
For super comfort, all Rascals include a padded, removable, swivel seat
with adjustable back angle and “flip-up” armrests. As an option, the seat
is mounted to an electrically operated seat lift to raise and lower the
seat 5” using controls mounted in the dash/tiller. A manually adjustable
seat post can also be supplied. A spring-loaded lever mounted on the
base of the seat allows it to be rotated and locked in position at each
45
°
increments.
Dash/Handlebar Assembly
The Model R6 300 is steered and operated by a removable handlebar
and dash assembly. Operation of the individual control components are
described in the “Controls” section of this manual (see page 6).
Drivetrain
The scooter is propelled by a motorized differential drivetrain mounted
at the rear of the scooter. It drives the two rear wheels for forward/
reverse motion. An integral parking brake mounted on the motor
maintains the vehicle’s stopped position when the engager is released.
The brake includes a manual release lever to disengage it to allow the
vehicle to be pushed by hand. The drivetrain assembly also includes the
rear suspension and serves as the mounting location for the rear bumper
and rear casters. The gearbox is a sealed unit. No maintenance or
servicing is necessary.
Wheels & Tires
The R6 300 model scooters include, as standard, foam tires.
