VI. RIDING YOUR Buzzaround XL™
BASIC DRIVING
1. Make certain that you are seated safely and properly on your Golden Buzzaround XL.
2. Turn the speed control dial fully counterclockwise to its slowest setting.
3. Insert the key into the key switch—if you have not already done so.
4. Turn the key clockwise to the “On” position. See figure 14 on page 21.
5. Place your hands on the handgrips.
• If you wish to drive forward, pull back on the right side of the throttle control lever (or
push the left side of the throttle control lever forward.)
• If you wish to drive in reverse, pull back the left side of the throttle control lever (or push
the right side of the throttle control lever forward.)
6. Pull on the throttle control lever to gently your Buzzaround XL.
7. Release the throttle control lever to allow your Buzzaround XL to come gently to a full
stop.
8. Practice these two basic functions until you feel that you have control of your scooter.
Steering
Steering your Golden Buzzaround XL is easy and logical.
1. With both hands on the handgrips of the tiller (see figure 4 on page 13), turn the tiller to
the right to travel to the right.
2. With both hands on the handgrips of the tiller (see figure 4 on page 13), turn the tiller to
the left to travel to the left.
3. Make certain to maintain sufficient clearance when turning your scooter so that the rear
wheels will clear any obstacle.
Turning your scooter too sharply at too high a speed may create a situation
where one of the rear wheels will leave the ground. This may increase the possibility of
tipping the scooter. Avoid this danger at all times by decelerating and steering a wide arc
around corners and obstacles.
