FREEWHEEL MODE
Your Breeze C Scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel
lever that, when pushed Upward, allows the Breeze C scooter
to be pushed. For more information about how to place your
Breeze C scooter into and out of freewheel mode, see 3.
“General description of your Breeze C scooter.”
WARNING! When your Breeze C scooter is in freewheel mode,
the braking system is disengaged.
 Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.
 Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.
 Stand beside the Breeze C Scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never
seat on a Breeze C Scooter to do this.
 After you have finished pushing your Breeze C Scooter, always return it to the drive
mode to lock the brakes.
 An added feature built into the Breeze C Scooter is “push-too-fast” protection which
safeguards the Breeze C scooter against gaining excessive speed while in freewheel
mode.
“Push-too-fast” operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists:
 If the key is switched “off” while in freewheel mode, the Breeze C scooter’s controller
activates regenerative braking when the Breeze C scooter is pushed faster than a
maximum threshold which has been preprogrammed. In this case, the controller is
acting as a speed governor.
 If the key is switched “on” while in freewheel mode, you will encounter considerable
resistance at any speed. This prevents the Breeze C scooter from gaining unwanted
momentum should the manual freewheel lever inadvertently be released while driving
the Breeze C scooter.
 When using this lever be careful not to touch the internal surface of the motor, they
could be very hot and cause injure. See the warning label at the rear of the scooter
near the lever.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Breeze C scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators.
Always use an elevator.
WARNING! Do not use your Breeze C scooter to negotiate steps or escalators.
DOORS
 Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
 Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
 Drive your Breeze C Scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or
drive your Breeze C Scooter gently and slowly rearwards to pull the door open.

ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the
door(s).
 If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the
rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the Breeze C scooter and
the door will reopen.
 Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Breeze C Scooter accessories do not
become caught in elevator doors.
NOTE: Sometimes turning with your Breeze C Scooter may be difficult to maneuver in
elevators and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneuver your
Breeze C Scooter in small spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
