Operation (continued)
Ignition switch
The main ignition switch contains three positions:
● ON (2): The engine can start, the key (1)
cannot be removed.
● OFF (3): This position shuts off the engine and
allows the key to be removed.
● LOCK (4): From the OFF position, push inward
and turn the key counterclockwise to the LOCK
position while turning the steering column to the left and
shaking it lightly to engage the steering lock. Remove key.
Brake Levers and Throttle
● Rear brake (5): When stopping the scooter, squeeze the rear brake
smoothly and firmly. Always engage the rear brake first.
● Front brake (6): Squeeze the lever gently at first to avoid locking the
front wheel. Most of your stopping power comes from the front
wheel, which should always be used to supplement the rear wheel.
WARNING! USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN ENGAGING
THE FRONT BRAKE TO AVOID LOCKING THE FRONT
WHEEL. LOCKING THE FRONT WHEEL CAN CAUSE A
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
● Throttle grip (7): The rotary throttle grip is on the right handlebar.
Accelerate by rotating the throttle towards you. Gently apply the throttle to
avoid engine from stalling. Decelerate by rotating the throttle away from you.
The throttle includes a safety spring that snaps the throttle back to idle when
released.
