Warning: If you are not an accomplished outdoors mobility scooter driver, we strongly
attendant who can assist you. When ready, proceed to power on the Luggie. The battery
indicator gauge needle will move to the amount of charge left on your battery and the status
light on the power switch will illuminate as a solid. Gently press the right wig wag lever
(FIG 11, page 11) to move forward. To stop, simply release the wig-wag lever to trigger the
brakes.
Warning: When powering on the scooter, DO NOT accidently depress the wig-wag
levers on your Luggie. The above action will result in your scooter going into fault mode.
To clear the fault, power off before powering back on.

operations will be reversed. For instance, when you press the left wig-wag lever the scooter
will move forward and the right wig-wag lever will drive the scooter in reverse.
LEARNING TO GET AROUND TIGHT SPACES
If you must steer in a tight spot, such as through a doorway or when turning around, stop,
turn the handlebars to where you want to go, and then apply the power gently. This will
make the Luggie turn sharply yet move gently, with complete stability. Practice in an
page11).
Remember: When driving in reverse, you have to steer in the opposite direction to the way
you want to go. Practice in open space as required. Please note,reverse speed is set to half
the forward speed for your safety.
Remember: If trying to make a tight turn, turn your steering column or tiller before
applying power. Steer wide of all corners and obstacles. Please move slowly with care.
Warning: DO NOT power off your scooter while it is in motion. Failure to observe this
warning may irreparably damage the main electronic speed control unit or transmission.
ALWAYS power off when your scooter is stationary.
GETTING THROUGH DOORWAYS
When you start using your Luggie, you will meet some obstacles that will require some
practice for smooth driving experience. Here are some common problems, with tips to help
you master them quickly. You will soon be in control through doorways and travel up and
down ramps with surprising ease by following the tips suggested below.
Approach an unfamiliar doorway slowly. Size it up. Does the door have a knob or push
bar? Does it open toward you or away from you? Think in terms of using the power of
the Luggie to do the work for you! You need not strain. Hold the door knob or bar in
one hand and apply power with the other hand. (Remember that you can drive forwards
by using your left finger to move the wig-wag lever towards you.) If the door is self-
closing, you can go though, allowing the door to close behind you, if you go quickly
enough. If not, just stop when you have clear of the door before pushing it close.
