How to Set Up and Fold the Scooter
SETUP
The scooter is shipped in the compact storage position.
Follow the steps below to set up the scooter for use.
1. Pull the lock pin out of the frame. Raise the upright
until it is in a nearly vertical position. Reinsert the
lock pin fully into the frame.
2. Open the quick release lever. Press the push pin on
the stem of the handlebar and slide the stem up until
the push pin is visible in one of the three holes in the
upright. The handlebar should be at the height of the

tight against the upright.
Note: If the
quick release
doesn’t hold
the stem tightly, the quick
release should
be adjusted.
Open the
quick release
lever. Turn the
adjustment nut clockwise one half turn while keeping
the lever from turning. Close the lever. Repeat this
procedure until the stem is held tightly.
If the quick release cannot be closed, turn the adjustment nut counterclockwise one quarter turn while
keeping the lever from turning. Close the lever.
Repeat this procedure until the quick release closes
and the stem is held tightly.
Before using the scooter, make sure that the scooter is
set up as described and that all parts are securely
tightened.
The batteries must be charged before the scooter can
be used. Refer to page 5 for battery charging instructions.
FOLDING
When the scooter is not in use, it can be folded to the
storage position for compact storage or transport. Follow
the steps below to fold the scooter.
1. Make sure the on/off switch on the right side of the
scooter is in the off position. The on/off switch
should always be in the off position when the
scooter is not in use.
2. Open the quick release lever. Press the push pin on
the stem and slide the stem into the upright. Close the

How to Operate the Scooter
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
The scooter’s sealed lead-acid batteries should be
charged and stored at temperatures between 50°F and
100°F (10°C and 38°C). If the temperature is warmer,
the batteries will discharge more rapidly. If the temperature is cooler, the scooter should be moved to a warmer
area while the batteries are being charged. Follow the
steps below to charge the batteries.
1. Make sure the on/off switch on the right side of
the scooter is in the off position. Note: If the on/off
switch is in the on position and the start switch is
pulled while the batteries are being charged, the battery charger will switch off for a short period of time.
2. Locate the charging socket near the on/off switch.
Identify the cord on the battery charger that fits into
the charging socket and plug the cord into the charging socket. Plug the other cord on the battery charger
into a 110-volt outlet.
3. Allow the batteries to charge for about five to eight
hours. After the batteries are charged, unplug the battery charger from the 110-volt outlet first and then
unplug the battery charger from the charging socket
on the scooter.
For maximum battery life, avoid leaving the on/off
switch in the on position when the scooter is not in use.
Avoid draining the batteries. It is recommended that the
batteries be charged after each use. The batteries should
be charged at least once each month, even if the scooter
is not used.
If the batteries need to be replaced, refer to HOW TO
ORDER REPLACEMENT PARTS on page 6. Recycle
batteries according to federal and state laws.
THE ON/OFF SWITCH
The on/off switch on the right side of the scooter is the
main power switch (see the drawing at the left). Moving
the switch to the “on” position will turn on the power.
Moving the switch to the “off” position will turn off the
power. When the scooter is not in use, the on/off
switch should always be in the off position.
When you are ready to use the scooter, move the on/off
switch to the on position.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE SCOOTER
With the on/off
switch in the
on position, the
scooter can be
started with the
start switch on
the right side
of the handlebar. To start
the scooter,
hold the handlebars securely, step onto the deck with one
foot while using your other foot to maintain balance, and
pull the start switch with your right index finger. (To preserve the battery charge longer, you may wish to push
with your foot as you start the scooter.) The scooter will
immediately begin to move. When the start switch is
released, the motor will stop. Note: To prevent damage to
the motor, do not repeatedly pull and release the start
switch in an attempt to move the scooter at a slower
speed.
To stop the scooter, pull the brake handle on the left side
of the handlebar. Note: Any time the brake handle is
pulled, the motor will stop, even if the start switch is
being pulled at the same time.
Use the scooter only on paved, smooth, level surfaces.
Avoid using the scooter on grades steeper than 5% for
extended periods. The scooter is rated for a 200-pound
user on a hard, level surface with a surrounding temperature of 50°F; the batteries’ charge will be used faster by
heavier riders. Make sure the tires are inflated to the
pressure listed on the sides of the tires.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Regularly check the scooter and make sure all parts are
properly tightened. If the scooter does not function properly, follow the steps below. If assistance is needed, call
our Customer Service Department toll-free at 1-800-999-
3756. IMPORTANT: Move the on/off switch to the off
position before performing any of the steps below.
Symptom 1—The motor does not start when the start
switch is pulled.
1. Make sure the on/off switch is in the on position.
2. Make sure the batteries are charged.
3. Make sure the brake handle is not being pulled.
4. To protect the motor, the PTC resistor has tripped;
allow the scooter to cool down.
Symptom 2—The batteries discharge quickly.
1. Make sure the tires are inflated to the pressure listed
on the sides of the tires.
2. Use the scooter on level, smooth surfaces. Avoid
using the scooter on grades steeper than 5%.
3. Charge and store the batteries at temperatures
between 50°F and 100°F (10°C and 38°C).
4. If the batteries still discharge quickly, new batteries
may be needed. Refer to page 6 for instructions.
Symptom 3—The brake is too loose or too tight.
1. Locate the locknut and adjustment barrel on the
brake handle. Turn the locknut counterclockwise to
loosen it. Next, turn the adjustment barrel counterclockwise to tighten the brake or clockwise to loosen
it. Then, turn the locknut clockwise to retighten it.
Repeat until the hand brake is properly adjusted.
If the hand brake requires further adjustment, the
lower end of the brake cable can be adjusted.
Remove the six M8 x 23.5mm bolts from the deck,
lift off the deck, and locate the adjustment barrel and
locknut near the lower end of the brake cable. Using
a small open-end wrench, loosen the locknut. Next,
turn the adjustment barrel counterclockwise to tighten the brake or clockwise to loosen it. Then, retighten the locknut. Repeat until the hand brake is properly adjusted. When the hand brake is properly adjusted, reattach the deck with the six bolts.
Symptom 4—The drive belt slips.
1. Locate the M10 nylon locknuts and the M6 nylon
locknuts near the rear wheel. Loosen the M10 nylon
locknuts. To tighten the drive belt, turn both M6 nylon
locknuts clockwise. Make sure the rear wheel is
straight and retighten the M10 nylon locknuts. Repeat
this procedure until the drive belt no longer slips.
Symptom 5—The quick release is too loose or too tight.
1. If the quick release doesn’t hold the stem tightly, or if
the quick release cannot be closed, refer to step 2 on
page 4 for adjustment instructions.
