Now put the speed control on the operator control to the minimum position. Your scooter is now ready
for use.
2.8.2 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) to turn off the integrated light.
2.8.3 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.
2.8.4 Your first trip
L
WARNING:
Control your scooter - Accustom yourself with the driving behavior of your
scooter.
Driving
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 to push the speed lever in the required direction, i.e.:
PUSH ACTION BY THE RIGHT HAND
PUSH ACTION BY THE LEFT HAND
Braking
To brake, let go of the speed/drive lever, which will let it return to the zero position and slow down your
scooter to a gentle stop. Practice 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.
Driving in corners and bends
L
WARNING:
Risk of tipping over - Reduce your speed before you enter a curve or
corner.
L
WARNING:
Risk of clamping - Always maintain an adequate distance from corners and
obstacles.
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.
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.
2.8.5 Backward movement
L
WARNING:
Control your scooter - Accustom yourself with the driving behavior of your
scooter.
L
WARNING:
Control your speed - Always go backward in the lowest speed possible.
L
WARNING:
Risk of collision - Always look to the back when you go backward.
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.
