II. SAFETY GENERAL MANDATORY! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owner’s manual. Your scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Mega Motion provides an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the scooter user.
II. SAFETY Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter: Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire if equipped with pneumatic tires. Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded. Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly. Check the brakes. Check battery charge. If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Mega Motion Provider for assistance.
II. SAFETY When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your scooter starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever.
II. SAFETY When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 1 and 2. This shifts the center of gravity of you and your scooter toward the front of the scooter for improved stability. NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the powered scooter may "roll back" approximately 3 feet (1 meter) before the brake engages.
II. SAFETY OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces composed of concrete or asphalt. However, Mega Motion recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your scooter safely on lawns and in park areas. Avoid driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
II. SAFETY INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS Exposure of your scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your scooter, proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry your scooter before storing, charging, or operating your scooter. PROHIBITED! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy/slippery surfaces can cause damage to the scooter and electrical system.
II. SAFETY ELEVATORS Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s). If you are in the doorway of a elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the scooter and the door will reopen. Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors. NOTE: If your scooter’s turning radius is greater than 60 in. (152.
II. SAFETY PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle control lever contact. MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT Mega Motion recommends that you do not remain seated in your scooter while traveling in a motor vehicle. The scooter should be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with batteries removed and/or properly secured.
II. SAFETY REACHING AND BENDING Avoid reaching or bending while driving your scooter. Bending forward creates the risk of accidental throttle control lever contact. Bending to the side while seated creates the risk of tipping. It is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the scooter from tipping. Mega Motion recommends that the scooter user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified attendant.
II. SAFETY FLAMMABILITY PRECAUTIONS WARNING! Even though the plastics used on your scooter have been tested and have passed the applicable flammability standards, Mega Motion recommends that you do not expose your scooter to open flames. WARNING! Replace worn or damaged upholstery immediately to reduce the risk of fire hazard. WARNING! Be aware that washing of upholstered items may reduce the resistance to flammability of the fabric.
III. YOUR SCOOTER TILLER CONSOLE The tiller console houses all of the controls needed to drive your scooter, including the speed adjustment dial, throttle control lever, battery condition meter, lights switch, hazard lights switch and horn buttons. See figure 4. PROHIBITED! Do not expose the tiller console to moisture. In the event that the tiller console does become exposed to moisture, do not attempt to operate your scooter until the tiller console has dried thoroughly.
III. YOUR SCOOTER Lights Switch This switch controls your scooter’s lights. Toggle the switch forward to turn on your scooter’s front top light and running lights. Toggle the switch rearward to turn on all the scooters lights (upper and lower front and running lights). WARNING! Scooter users are required to use their lights when visibility is restricted—day or night.
III. YOUR SCOOTER Tiller Console Fuses These fuses help protect your scooter’s front lighting and key switch console systems from receiving an overload of electrical current. The fuses used in your scooter are the same type used in automobiles. See figure 6. See IX. “Care and Maintenance” for fuse replacement.
III. YOUR SCOOTER Safety Flag Bracket (Optional) An accessory bracket for installing an optional safety flag is mounted near each anti-tip wheel and also on the seatback hinge. To install the flag to the rear frame, use the smaller of the two supplied “L” shaped hex keys. To install the flag to the seat hinge, use the larger hex key. See figure 8. HEX KEY CAP SETSCREW To install the flag: 1. Remove the cap from the top of the bracket. 2. Loosen the setscrew with the supplied “L” shaped hex key. 3.
III. YOUR SCOOTER Main Circuit Breaker (Reset Button) When the voltage in the batteries becomes low or your scooter is heavily strained because of excessive loads, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect the motor and electronics from damage. When the breaker trips, the entire electrical system shuts down. See figure 9. The reset button pops out when the breaker trips. Allow a minute or so for the electronics to “rest.” Push in the reset button to reset the breaker.
IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES AND CHARGING Your scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an offboard charging system. Charge your scooter’s batteries fully prior to using it for the first time. Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly. READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate strength of your batteries using a color code.
IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING WARNING! If your off-board battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then do not expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger is exposed to adverse or extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information. Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely: 1.
IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING How often must I charge the batteries? Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your scooter’s batteries: All day scooter use on a daily basis. Infrequent or sporadic scooter use. With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your scooter’s batteries. We designed the off-board charger so that it will not overcharge your scooter’s batteries.
IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING How do I change a battery in my scooter? MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after handling. WARNING! Always use two batteries of the exact same type, chemistry, and amp-hour (Ah) capacity. Refer to the specifications table in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.
IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING NOTE: If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and contact your local waste disposal agency or authorized Mega Motion Provider for instructions on disposal and battery recycling which is our recommended course of action. Why do my new batteries seem weak? Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries (nicads), and other common battery types.
V. OPERATION BEFORE GETTING ONTO YOUR SCOOTER Have you fully charged the batteries? See IV. “Batteries and Charging.” Is the manual freewheel lever in the drive (rearward) position? Never leave the manual freewheel lever pushed forward unless you are manually pushing your scooter. Is the tiller lock knob in the unlocked position? See VII. “Disassembly and Assembly.” GETTING ONTO YOUR SCOOTER 1. Make certain that the key is removed from the key switch.
V. OPERATION The electromechanical disc park brake automatically disengages and the scooter accelerates smoothly to the speed you preselected with the speed adjustment dial. Pull on the left handgrip to steer your scooter to the left. Pull on the right handgrip to steer your scooter to the right. Move the tiller to the center position to drive straight ahead. To stop, slowly release the throttle control lever. The electronic brakes will automatically engage, bringing your scooter to a stop.
VI. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS TILLER ANGLE ADJUSTMENT Your scooter is equipped with an adjustable tiller. TILLER ADJUSTMENT LEVER WARNING! Remove the key from the key switch before adjusting the tiller or the seat. Never attempt to adjust the tiller or the seat while the scooter is in motion. To change the tiller angle: 1. Squeeze the tiller adjustment lever. See figure 14. 2. Move the tiller to a comfortable position. 3. Release the tiller adjustment lever to lock the tiller into place.
VI. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS To adjust your scooter’s reclining seat, perform these steps. See figure 16. 1. With your back pressed up against the seatback, lift up on the seatback adjustment lever and lean forward or backward to adjust the seatback angle. 2.

MIRROR HOLDER PLUG NUT To adjust the mirror: 1. Position yourself in a seated driving position facing forward. 2.
VII. DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY DISASSEMBLY You can disassemble the scooter into several pieces: the seat, the front section, the rear section, the rear shroud, the basket, and the batteries. See figure 20. No tools are required to disassemble or assemble your scooter, but keep in mind that the disassembled sections of the scooter take up more floor space than the assembled unit.
VII. DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY 7. Unfasten the battery tie-down straps and remove the batteries from the battery wells. 8. Squeeze the tiller adjustment lever and lower the tiller to its lowest point. Adjust the tiller console if necessary. REAR LIGHTING HARNESS WARNING! Failure to unplug both battery harnesses, the front-to-rear harness, and rear lighting harness prior to separating the front and rear sections could result in permanent damage to the scooter. Frame Separation 1.
VIII. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge. DIAGNOSTIC FAULT CODES The diagnostic fault codes for your scooter are designed to help you perform basic troubleshooting quickly and easily.
VIII. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING What if my scooter does not move when I engage the throttle control lever? When the manual freewheel lever is pushed forward, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the motor/transaxle assembly is cut. Pull back on the manual freewheel lever, turn the scooter off and then turn the scooter on to return to normal scooter operation. What if the main circuit breaker repeatedly trips? Charge the scooter’s batteries more frequently. See IV. “Batteries and Charging.
IX. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your scooter requires a minimal amount of care and maintenance. If you do not feel confident in your ability to perform the maintenance listed below, you may schedule inspection and maintenance at your authorized Mega Motion Provider. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance. TIRE PRESSURE If equipped with pneumatic tires, always maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on each tire.
XI. CARE AND MAINTENANCE AXLE BEARINGS AND THE MOTOR/ TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY You do not need to lubricate these items, as they are all prelubricated and sealed. DRIVE WHEEL WASHER AXLE KEY MOTOR BRUSHES The motor brushes are housed inside of the motor transaxle/assembly. They should be inspected periodically for wear by your authorized Mega Motion Provider. WHEEL REPLACEMENT If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, you can have the tube replaced.
