2.7.1 Preparing the scooter for use

When you use your scooter for the first time, make sure that it is standing on level ground. All wheels
must be in contact with the ground.
1. For first time use, fully recharge the batteries.
2. Make sure that the motor is engaged.
3. Set the steering unit in the most comfortable position for yourself and make sure it has been
secured properly.
4. See that the seat has been locked in the driving position.
5. Sit down on the seat and verify that both armrests are folded down so you can rest your arms
on them.
6. Insert contact key and turn to the right, please wait for at least 3 seconds before you press the
speed lever otherwise you have a "delay protection" alarm. If necessary, turn on the
headlights.
7. Check the battery indicator and see that there is enough power for your trip. If not enough
capacity recharge the batteries before departure.
Now put the speed control on the operator control to the minimum position. Your scooter is now ready
for use. Only use higher speed setting when you are confident that you can easily operate and control
your scooter.
Check the speed lever and the electromagnetic brake works correctly.
Before using the scooter in busy or potentially dangerous areas, familiarize yourself with the operation
of your scooter. Please practice in a wide and open area like a park.
Be sure someone accompanies you when driving on the roads for the first time.
2.7.2 Handling after usage
Before getting off from your scooter, make sure that all four wheels touch the ground simultaneously.
Next turn the key to the "OFF" (charge indicator goes out) to turn off the integrated light.
2.7.3 Parking the scooter
Once your scooter has been turned off, no command can be sent to the driving system. You will be
unable to deactivate the electromagnetic brakes before turning on your scooter again. Always park
your scooter on sites that are well guarded or clearly visible.
If available on the scooter the manual brakes can be applied and locked with the pushing button.
