Pic.3
[Diagram: A hand is shown operating a yellow lever on the scooter.]
The yellow lever is the Manual brake lever. (see pic.3)
Move the position of the yellow lever, the brake can be controlled to switch between electric mode and free-wheel mode.
Electric mode: When the brake lever is moved backwards to the "closed" position, the scooter is in braking state and cannot be pushed. At this position, turn on the power, so the scooter can run normally.
Free-wheel mode: When the brake lever is moved forward to the "open" position, the scooter is in a brake release state and can be pushed. (This function can be achieved by pulling the handle whether the power is on or off, but in this position, the scooter cannot be drove.). It is absolutely forbidden to push the brake lever forward to the "open" position (push by hand) when going downhill, because there is no brake effect at this time to ensure the safety of the user and the mobility scooter.
