First insert the key and turn 90° to the right (depending on the model there can be an ON / OFF switch
– please see the relevant Operating Manual). Make sure that the motor is engaged. See to it that your
seat is at a height best suited to yourself. Sit down on the seat and verify that both armrests have
been adjusted to your forearms or folded down and that the seat has been locked in the driving
position.
Now turn the speed control to the minimum position (anticlockwise), or turn the ON/OFF button to the
ON position. Your scooter is now ready for use.
HANDLING AFTER USAGE
Before getting off from your scooter, make sure that all four wheels touch the ground simultaneously.
Next turn the key to the "OFF" (charge indicator goes out) or press the ON/OFF button to turn off the
integrated light (charge indicator goes out).
PARKING THE SCOOTER
Once your scooter has been turned off, no command can be sent to the driving system. You will be
unable to deactivate the electromagnetic brakes before turning on your scooter again. Always park
your scooter on sites that are well guarded or clearly visible.
YOUR FIRST TRIP
Once you are seated on your scooter and have started it as described above, take hold of the T-
handle bar with both hands, put your thumbs on the accelerator (in the case of the delta handle bar,
grasp the thinnest part of the bars with both hands) and use your fingers, or one finger only, to pull the
speed lever in the required direction, i.e.:
ACTION BY THE RIGHT HAND
ACTION BY THE LEFT HAND
To brake, let go of the drive lever, which will let it return to the zero position and slow down your
scooter to a gentle stop. Practise pulling away and braking to get accustomed to the scooter. You
need to be able to estimate how your scooter will react when you drive or brake.
For corners and bends, use both hands to turn the handle bar in the direction you wish to take. The
front wheels will turn accordingly and steer the scooter into a new direction. It is very important that
you ensure that there is enough space allowing you to go around bends and corners. Narrow
passages must preferably be approached in a large curve so as to allow you to enter the narrowest
part as straight from the front as possible. Bear in mind that your scooter's back part will in most cases
be wider than the front part.
L
You need to greatly reduce your speed before you enter a curve or corner.
Take care not to enter curves and corners diagonally. By 'cutting the corner', chances are that your
rear wheels will run into obstacles and destabilize your scooter.
L
Accustom yourself with the driving behavior of your scooter.
L
Always maintain an adequate distance from corners and obstacles.
BACKWARD MOVEMENT
Rearward driving requires increased concentration and care (LEFT HAND ACTION). This explains
why we have greatly reduced the speed of rearward movement in comparison with forward driving.
But we still recommend that you put the speed lever on minimum when you drive backward.
Do not forget that the steering direction with rearward drives is the opposite of when you go forward,
and that your scooter will turn directly in the required direction.
L
Accustom yourself with the driving behavior of your scooter.
L
Always go backward in the lowest speed possible.
L
Always look to the back when you go backward.
