7.7 SECONDARY PARKING BRAKE
(FIG.7.5).
Your scooter is fitted with a secondary parking brake.
If the free-wheel position is engaged the secondary
parking brake can be operated by pulling the hand brake
lever, (A), on the left hand side of the tiller. This engages
the secondary brake on the rear wheels to prevent
unintentional movement while in free-wheel mode, (drive
disengaged).
Before attempting to push the scooter in free-wheel
mode, release the secondary parking brake by pulling
back the small thumb lever, (B).
DANGER!
After completing any maneuvers in free-wheel mode,
always re-engage drive mode by moving the free-
wheel lever to the drive position.
Do not use the secondary parking brake to slow the
scooter down during the normal driving process.
