Warning: If you are not an accomplished outdoors mobility

product driver, we strongly recommend that you first

practice in an open area, free from traffic and preferably

with an attendant who can assist you.

MOUNTING

For your first drive make certain that you and your new

Companion Scooter are on a level surface. Put the power

on/off key into its slot, but leave it turned off. Stand behind

the Companion’s seat, and reach down to the ‘Seat Lock

Lever’. It will be on the left side directly under the armrest.

Grasp the ‘black’ knob on the lever and pull up, releasing the

Seat (Fig 11). It will now turn easily to meet you. If need be,

you can lock the seat into position to make it steady before

you sit down. You can also lift up the armrest to assist this

procedure. Seat yourself and swing the seat to face the

handlebars. Make sure you are straight, then release the

spring assisted lever, making certain that it locks your seat

firmly in position.

Next, turn the ‘Speed Adjustment Dial’ to minimum (min),

and turn the ‘on/off’ key to ‘on’(Fig 8, page 8). (The

battery state indicator will move and the green status light

will illuminate). Gently press the right thumb control lever

(Fig 9, page 9) to start you in a forward direction. To stop

simply release the lever, the brakes will be automatically

applied.

Warning: Please take care not to have your thumb on the

forward/reverse control lever when you switch ‘on’ your

Companion; this will result in your machine going into a

fault mode. Switch ‘off’ then ‘on’ again to clear the fault.

Warning: If your Companion has been adapted for left

hand, forward operation then this procedure will be

reversed: i.e. pressing with the left thumb for forward

direction and the right thumb for reverse direction.

Warning: If your Companion has been converted with a

“Delta” type control system, please refer to the separate

instructions provided with this accessory (see also page

37 of this manual)

DISMOUNTING

Always switch off your Scooter before dismounting. Locate

the seat lever and pull up. Now you can swing the seat

away, lock it, and ease yourself onto your feet.

If you prefer you can swing the armrests back to allow you

to pivot on your seat and then ease yourself onto your feet.

Caution: Do not use the handlebars as a crutch to lever

yourself out of your seat. Failure to observe this warning

may damage the handlebar mechanism and make the Scooter

unstable.

PARKING IN PUBLIC

If you need to park and leave your Freerider Companion,

simply remove your key. This will keep the brake on and

make your Scooter more difficult to move. It is best to leave

it in sight of someone like a store assistant etc. who can

watch it for you. Another precaution is to note your serial

number and the date of purchase.

Your serial number can be found on a plate attached to the

front cross member located under the body cover.

BASIC DRIVING

Make certain you are comfortably seated on your

Companion and both armrests are down. Ensure that the

‘Speed Adjustment Dial’ (Fig 8, page 8) is turned to

minimum for your first drive. When you have become more

confident you can increase the setting to a higher speed.

Push the right ‘Thumb Lever Control’ (Fig 9, page 9), as

described earlier. You will very gently move forwards.

Release the lever, and you will gently stop. Practice these

two basic functions until you get used to them.

Steering the Companion is easy and logical by turning the

handle bars in the direction you wish to manoeuvre. Be sure

to remember to give a wide clearance when turning so that

the rear wheels follow the path of the front one, instead of

cutting short.

Cutting short on pavement corners or ‘cut outs’ can mean

that a back wheel will go off the pavement, causing a

stability problem. Avoid this at all times by steering an

exaggerated wide arc around the obstacle.
