INTRODUCTION

Golden Liteway GL-100 Owner’s Manual Revised 11/06

Your Golden Liteway™is a battery-operated personal mobility vehicle. Please exercise caution and

consideration when you are operating it. Driving your Liteway carefully and thoughtfully will help en-

sure your personal safety and the safety of other people.

Note: Before learning to operate your Liteway, have your Golden Technologies representative deter-

mine if it is advisable for you to practice getting on and off your Liteway and operating it in the pres-

ence of an attendant.

BEFORE GETTING ON YOUR LITEWAY

READ COMPLETELY AND UNDERSTAND THIS OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE ASSEMBLING, OP-

ERATING, TRANSPORTING, OR DISASSEMBLING YOUR GOLDEN LITEWAY.

• Check to be certain that the key is removed. See Operation section in this manual. This will

eliminate the possibility of accidentally activating the thumb lever controls and causing injury to

you or to others.

• Check to be certain that your Liteway brake handle is in the engaged position. See the Disas-

sembly section in this manual.

• Flip up the armrests.

WARNING: WHEN GETTING ON OR OFF YOUR LITEWAY, DO NOT PUT MOST OR ALL

YOUR WEIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE DECK. DOING SO MAY CAUSE THE SCOOTER TO TIP.

GETTING ON YOUR LITEWAY

• Make certain that the key is removed!

• Position the seat for safe and easy mounting. See Operation section.

• Carefully place one foot on the approximate center of the deck and seat yourself comfortably

and securely on the seat.

• Fasten the lap belt, if your scooter is so equipped.

• Flip down the armrests.

GETTING OFF YOUR LITEWAY

• Make certain that the power is turned off and key is removed!

• Flip up the armrest.

• Unfasten the lap belt, if your scooter is so equipped.

standing position.

• Step away from the scooter.

MAXIMUM WEIGHT

Your Liteway has been rated to a maximum payload (includes operator and any other carry on baggage)

of 300 pounds. Exceeding the maximum weight rating will void the warranty.

WARNING: EXCEEDING THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT RATING MAY ALSO RESULT IN INJURY

TO YOURSELF AND TO OTHERS.

DRIVING ON AN INCLINE

• For maximum stability, lean forward in your Liteway™seat while proceeding up ramps, slopes,

curbs, or any low rise.

• Do not attempt to negotiate an incline that is covered with snow, ice, cut or wet grass, leaves,

or any other slippery material.

and accelerate slowly and carefully.

• Do not try to descend or climb a slope whose gradient is greater than recommended. See

WARNING: IF, WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN A SLOPE, YOUR SCOOTER STARTS TO MOVE

FASTER THAN YOU FEEL IS SAFE, RELEASE THE THUMB LEVER AND ALLOW YOUR LITEWAY

TO COME TO A STOP. WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU AGAIN HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER,

PUSH THE THUMB LEVER FORWARD AND CONTINUE SAFELY DOWN THE REMAINDER OF

THE SLOPE.

DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE
