Indicators
The two press switches C (Fig. 9) on either side of the dashboard are
direction indicators. The switch will return to off but the indicators will flash for
approximately 20 flashes before switching off automatically.
Fitted on both front and rear of the vehicle to indicate to other road users the
direction you wish to turn.
Hazard Warning Lights
press the red rocker switch to activate your vehicle hazard warning lights,
all the direction indicators, both front and rear will flash together when acti-
vated. The switch will stay down and illuminate flashing red when activated. To cancel
press the rocker switch back.
The Hazard lights work with the ignition key switched off and/or removed to warn
other road users or pedestrians of a possible obstruction caused by your vehicle.
Battery level indicator
The battery level indicator is located in the centre front edge of the dash-
board and indicates the charge state of your batteries. When fully
charged the red indicator light will be on the far right of the meter, as
your batteries discharge the indicator moves left in 10 stages. When there is only
20% left in your batteries the last two bars will flash. When this reduces to 10% the
last bar will flash indicating your vehicle is about to stop.
Note: Always charge your batteries before they get into a discharged condition, as
regular deep discharging will shorten your battery life.
Note: Never allow your batteries to stand in a discharged state for long periods of
time, as this will reduce your battery life.

Flashing Beacon
.
Optional extra, but this device is a requirement under the road traf-
fic act if you wish to travel on a dual carriage way B (Fig. 8)
Manual freewheel lever
Your Saxon has a manual freewheel lever that disengages the electromagnet-
ic parking brake from the drive system to allow the vehicle to be pushed.
Ensure the ignition key is switched off, as the controller will automatically
engage the regenerative brake if the ignition key is switched on, making it
almost impossible to push the vehicle. The reverse warning buzzer will sound
intermittently to warn that the ignition is switched on.
Behind the right rear light there is a lever, pull down on this lever to disengage
the brake system; the vehicle may now be pushed.
The Saxon has a safety system incorporated into it that will re-engage the
regenerative braking system if the vehicle starts to move at more than 3mph.
Note: Do not try towing your Saxon. For your safety there is no way of
disengaging the safety braking system but this makes the Saxon impossible
to tow without causing controller/motor damage.
