NOTE:
When one of the following procedures is used to reverse down a sloping surface, the
manufacturer strongly advises using the assistance of another person.
Procedure 1: In operation
• Turn the ignition to the "Off" position;
• Get off the scooter;
• Turn the ignition to the "On" position;
• Remain standing beside the scooter and carefully accelerate the controls at the minimum
speed;
• Slowly and carefully accompany the scooter along the sloping surface;
• Carefully get back on the scooter and return to normal functioning.
Procedure 2: Emergency (not in operation)
• Turn the ignition to the "Off" position;
• Get off the scooter;
• Set the wheel unlocking lever to "Unlocked";
• Remain standing alongside the scooter and accompany it by hand along the entire sloping
surface;
• As soon as you reach the flat surface at the bottom of the slope, position the wheel
unlocking lever in the locked position.
WARNING!
When the scooter is in unlocked wheels mode, the stopping brake is released. The
weight of the scooter could cause you to lose control on a slope. If you do not feel
able to drive the scooter on a slope, ask for assistance or do not proceed.
14.6 Engine braking system
The scooter has a system that uses the engine to assist braking. The engine braking system is
designed to function when the key is in both the "On" position and the "Off" position. When the
key is in the "On" position, the wheel lock is in the locked position and the scooter is operating,
the engine will contribute to slowing down the scooter as soon as you remove your hand from
the accelerator lever.
When the key is in the "Off" position and the wheel lock is in the unlocked position, the engine
braking system will prevent you from pushing the scooter too quickly (such as on a sloping
surface) and you will notice this as you push it. The scooter will move freely until you reach a
certain speed, then you will feel resistance, as the engine braking system has been activated.
14.7 Stopping brake
Your scooter has an automatic parking brake included in the electromechanical brake. The
scooter stops when the engine is in drive and the ignition is switched off or when the ignition
is switched on and the hand lever is in the neutral position. If the scooter is in free wheel mode
(the engine is disengaged), it is possible to use the manual stopping brake function by placing
the lever in the drive position.
14.8 Thermal protection
The controller on your scooter has a thermal restore safety system. An incorporated circuit
controls the controller and engine temperature. If the controller and the engine overheat, the
controller will remove power to allow the electrical components to cool down. Although your
