Basic Driving

Make sure you have completed the details described under "mounting".

For the standard unit pull on the accelerator lever with your RIGHT index finger to start moving forward.

To STOP gently release the accelerator lever and the scooter will come to a stop.

Practise these two basic functions until you are proficient in their use.

Steering the Gecko scooter is easy and logical. Just be sure to remember to give a clearance when turning so that the rear wheels clear any obstacles.

When turning always turn your Gecko scooter to a LOW speed.

If it is a tight turn (entering a doorway or going around a blind corner) STOP your Gecko scooter. Turn your steering column in the direction you wish to proceed whilst still in the stationary position. Then apply the power gently to move forward The Gecko scooter will move gently and with complete stability.

REVERSING requires your attention

Always turn your Speed dial to SLOW before reversing.

Pull the accelerator lever with your left index finger.

Remember, when you reverse steer you turn in the OPPOSITE direction to the way you want to go. Always take your time.

The Gecko scooters are not designed for use in loose gravel, sand or soft grass. Your scooter is also not designed to be used in wet weather or rain.

Ramps

The stability of your scooter is governed by several factors such as the seating position of the occupant, the angle of the slope, your height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so directly, avoid driving up on an angle. Where ever possible avoid making turns on any incline or decline. When going down a slope set the speed setting to SLOW, this will ensure there is a safe controlled decent. When the finger levers are released the scooter will slow to a stop.

Do not turn off the control switch whilst the unit is in motion.

Please follow all the guidelines and your scooter will perform admirably over many surfaces.

Doors

Always ensure your speed is set at the SLOWEST setting.

Think in terms of using the power of the Gecko scooter to do the work for you. For doors that open outward, hold the door knob with your right hand and reverse the Gecko scooter as described earlier. Where the door opens inwards hold the door knob with your left hand and push your accelerator lever with your RIGHT thumb.

Transporting Your Scooter

Always ensure your scooter is turned OFF on the steering column.

Remove your basket by pulling it up gently.

Remove your seat by loosening the seat knob and pulling forward on the seat gently and lifting off. (As indicated in figure #1)

Remove the battery pack by gently pulling out the power cable and pulling up on the battery pack handle to release the Velcro tabs holding the battery pack in place. (As indicated in figure #2)

The scooter is now ready to be placed in the car.

Once the Scooter has been placed in the car the basket and battery pack can be placed loosely around the main components. (As indicated in figure #4)

CHARGING

The battery pack can be charged as an independent unit. It does not have to be connected to the scooter (See Figure #5)

The battery charge level indicator will be in the RED section when the battery is very low. Place the MALE socket of the battery charger into the female socket on the battery pack where the power cable connects taking care to ensure that the pins line up correctly.

Plug your charger into the wall and turn the power on. The charger light will glow RED indicating the batteries are NOT fully charged. When the batteries have reached their capacity the charger light will glow GREEN.

When you refit the battery pack to your Gecko scooter take care when reconnecting the power cable to line up the pins correctly before pushing the plug home.
