1. Basic Driving:
Make certain you are comfortably seated on your scooter and both armrests are
down. Ensure that the “Speed Adjustment Dial” is turned to minimum for your first
drive. When you have become more confident you can increase the setting to a
higher speed. Push the right” Thumb Lever Control” as described earlier. You will
very gently move forwards. Release the lever, and you will gently stop. Practice
these two basic functions until you get used to them. Steering the Scooter is easy
and logical by turning the handle bars in the direction you wish to maneuver.
2. Control On An Incline:
When you approach an incline, it is best to learn forward. This moves the center
of gravity of your scooter towards the front of the scooter for improved stability.
When going down an incline, keep your speed slow. This will keep you in a safely
controlled descent. It is best to learn backwards, this moves the centre of gravity
of your Scooter towards the rear of the scooter for improved stability. If you wish to
stop completely, release the control lever, and you will come to a gentle stop, avoid
sudden stop starts.
The following labels are positioned on your scooter, they communicate important
warnings or instructions regarding the safe operation of your scooter. Please
familiarize yourself with their location.
