FREEWHEEL MODE
Your Sport Scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when pulled up, allows the Sport Scooter to be
pushed. For more information about how to place your Sport Scooter into and out of freewheel mode, see V. Your
Sport Scooter.
WARNING! When your Sport Scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.
n Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.
n Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.
n Stand behind the Sport Scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on
a Sport Scooter to do this.
n After you have finished pushing your Sport Scooter, always return it to the drive mode
to lock the brakes.
Failure to heed the above could result in personal injury and/or damage to your Sport
Scooter.
INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
An added feature built into the Sport Scooter is push-too-fast protection which safeguards the Sport Scooter
against gaining excessive speed while in freewheel mode.
Push-too-fast operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists:
n If the key is switched off while in freewheel mode, the Sport Scooters controller activates regenerative
braking when the Sport Scooter is pushed faster than a maximum threshold which has been preprogrammed.
In this case, the controller is acting as a speed governor.
n If the key is switched on while in freewheel mode, you will encounter considerable resistance at any speed.
This prevents the Sport Scooter from gaining unwanted momentum should the manual freewheel lever inad
vertently be released while driving the Sport Scooter.
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not operate your Sport Scooter in icy or slippery
conditions or on salted surfaces (i.e., walks or roads). Such use may result in an accident,
personal injury, or adversely affect the performance and safety of your Sport Scooter.
WARNING! Do not operate or store your Sport Scooter where it may be exposed to inclement
weather conditions such as rain, snow, mist, and below freezing temperatures (such as
storage on an outside car/van lift). Attempting to operate the Sport Scooter in such
conditions can damage the electronics and potentially result in loss of control.
