•  Your speed setting should be on 1 or 2. 

•  Pull your right hand finger lever, the scooter will move forward slowly.  The harder you pull 
the faster the scooter goes but will only reach the speed level that has been selected. 
•  Release the lever and the scooter will slowly come to a stop and the magnetic brake will be 
applied. 
 
Steering 
Steering the scooter is light and easy.  Ensure when starting off you give a wide clearance when 
turning so that the rear wheels clear any obstacle that you are passing.  When steering through 
limited spaces such as a doorway or when turning around, turn the tiller handles where you want 
to go and apply power gently.  The scooter will turn very tightly, but will still move with 
complete stability as long as the speed is not too high. 
 
Reversing  
Before reversing ensure that the area behind is free from any hazards or obstructions.  Adjust 
your speed setting to a low setting before you reverse.  Pull/press the left thumb/finger lever, and 
steer wide of all corners and obstacles. 
 
Dismounting 
Before dismounting ensure that the key is turned to the off position. 
 
 

 
 

 
Ramps 
The stability of your scooter is governed by several factors such as the seating position, the angle 
of the slope and your height and weight.  When approaching an incline, do so directly and not at 
an angle and whenever possible avoid making turns.  When going down a ramp or slope keep the 
speed settings to slow.  This will ensure there is a safe controlled descent.  When the finger 
levers are released the scooter will slowly stop. 

 
Grass and Gravel 
Please follow the guidelines given previously and your scooter will perform admirably over 
many surfaces.  Avoid long grass, loose gravel and sand. 
 
NOTE: You should not operate your scooter in wet weather or on wet surfaces.  This may 
cause the motor to sort out.
