INTRODUCTION TO YOUR MINIMO AUTOFOLD
Thank you for purchasing a TGA Minimo Autofold mobility scooter. We hope your new scooter
will bring freedom, independence and pleasure to your life.
This handbook provides important information on the most common operational and
maintenance concerns that you should be familiar with. It is very important that you are familiar
with the driving technique and able to operate the controls competently before venturing too
far from where there is assistance.
Please make sure you read this handbook in full and fully understand how to operate your
scooter before setting out on your new scooter. This handbook will draw your attention to
important safety related issues by Care! Warning labelling throughout. Please keep this
handbook for future referral.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Your Minimo Autofold is a class 2 mobility scooter and intended for indoor or outdoor use but
is not road legal. It is designed to fold automatically in order to fit in your car boot making it
ideal for trips to your local town and shops. It is capable of up to 4mph, can climb 3-degree
slopes and negotiate obstacles up to 6 or 7cm high (see Technical Specifications). Care must
be taken when using your scooter in these conditions.

YOUR SCOOTER CONTROLS
A. Horn –press the button to sound your horn.
B. Key Fob –Press the power button on the Minimo display panel until the light surrounding
the button illuminates ‘red’, then swipe the key fob over this button to put the scooter into
‘driving mode’ (indicated by the light changing to blue). Always keep the fob with you when
driving.
C. Battery Condition Indicator –When your scooter is switched on, the lights on the indicator
will show the level of battery life. As the battery is used, the lights will individually extinguish
from the right ‘green’ sector to the left ‘red’ sector. As the charge is used up in your battery the
lights will slowly move towards the red sector indicating the state of charge at that precise
time. When all lights are showing, the battery is fully charged. When only the red lights are
showing, your battery is losing charge and needs to be recharged. For more information see
the ‘Charging Your Scooter’section.
D. Power Button –Press the power button to wake up the system. When it shows red, it is
awaiting the command from the fob to go into ‘drive mode’ – which will turn this to blue. Press
again to switch the scooter off. (In the diagram above, the power button is shown as a blue
circle, as it is hidden by the Key Fob).

E. Speed Adjuster –This allows you to pre-select your desired maximum speed. The adjuster
is proportional to speed and can be set anywhere between minimum and maximum. Turn the
adjuster knob fully anti-clockwise for the lowest speed and gradually rotate clockwise to
increase your maximum speed.
F. Throttle Control Levers –The throttle control also adjusts the speed of your scooter. The
further you move the control lever the faster you will go. To move forwards, pull the red right-
hand lever towards the handle bar, (as you do so you will notice the black left-hand lever
moving away from the handlebar. You can either pull the red right hand lever or push the black
left hand lever). To reverse, pull the black left-hand lever towards the handlebar.
G. Hazard Light Button (located on the end of the handlebar) –Press and release, and wait
five seconds. The front light and rear lights will flash.
H. Light Switch –The switch under the control panel will operate the front and rear lights.
Please note the front day-running light will always remain on while your scooter is in use. This
switch will put the front light on ‘full beam’.
I. Autofold Button (located on the end of the handlebar) –When the scooter is turned off, press
the button and press on the foot pedal to start the automatic folding process.
DRIVING YOUR SCOOTER
Before driving your scooter, make sure the battery is fully charged and check the tyres do not
appear to be soft (see Maintenance section for details of monthly checks and tyre pressures).
Do not press the ‘on’ button before entering. When comfortably sat, ensure that the seat is
secure. Ensure the armrests are in the correct position.
Set your speed to low, hold the tiller handlebars with both hands and gently apply pressure to
the throttle control lever to moveforwards. The more pressure you apply to the lever, the faster
you will go. Remember to always come to a stop before changing from forward to reverse.
Releasing the throttle control lever automatically operates the motor brake to slow down your
scooter to a stop. Once stopped, the parking brake will automatically engage.
Use the tiller to steer your scooter left and right. Simply move your left hand towards you to
steer left and your right hand towards you to turn right.
To reverse, pull the black left-hand throttle control lever towards the handlebar. The speed in
reverse is reduced automatically for safety; while reversing your scooter will ‘beep’.
To negotiate kerbs, you should always approach as head-on, (square), as possible. If you are
going up, select a low speed setting then drive until both front and back wheels are on the
pavement. If going down, proceed slowly until on the road, then switch to a suitable higher
speed to cross the road safely.
Watch your battery condition indicator. The distance you can travel depends on many factors.
Range is influenced by many environmental conditions; hills will substantially decrease the
range. Establish what you can obtain around your locality by gradually increasing the distance
and checking the battery indicators at the end of each journey.

Should the battery run out before you get home, there is a ‘free wheel’ mode that will allow
someone to push your scooter home. This is operated via the parking brake release. See the
instructions label at rear of your scooter.
Care! Warning
* The Minimo Autofold will automatically slow down when turning corners. However, you
should ensure you take extra care when turning, especially when changing direction from
moving forward in a straight line.
Driving inside shops and buildings
When inside it is your responsibility to drive slowly and safely and not damage your
surroundings or hurt other people.
Using the footpath –Just because you are on the footpath or in a pedestrian precinct, it does
not make you a pedestrian. If you are on a scooter you are no longer a pedestrian.
In a crowded precinct, market area, or footpath –It is your responsibility to ensure you do not
run into anyone or do any harm with your scooter. While many people will make way for you,
you cannot expect everyone to do so. Some will appear to not even realize you are there.
They will climb round and even over your vehicle rather than allow you room to move. Also be
very aware of people’s feet. As per the Highway Code, you don’t hold any right of way over
pedestrians.
Watch out for:
* Children –They may well run in front of you without warning. You may only be moving
very slowly, but you could still injure a child.
* Elderly people –They may be unable to quickly move aside to let you pass. Give way
to them.
* Disabled people on foot –they too may be unable to move aside for you.
* People with visual problems or impaired hearing –Give them space and time.
* Other scooter users –You may be doing all the right things. This does not guarantee
they will do likewise
Driving on the road
Your scooter is a class 2 mobility scooter and therefore it is not road legal.

ADJUSTING YOUR TILLER
If you’d like to adjust the height of your tiller, simply turn the adjustment wheel anti-clockwise

to the height you would like and tighten the adjustment wheel by turning it clockwise until tight.
REMOVING YOUR BATTERY PACK
To remove the battery pack first ensure the pack is unlocked by inserting the key into the pack
and turning it 90° anti clockwise to the unlock position. Then simply lift the pack up away from
the base of the scooter and the seat using the handle provided.
