Operation of Scooter:

1. To prevent injury to yourself or others, always ensure that the power

is switched off when getting on or off the scooter.
2. Always check that the variable speed control is set to the desired
speed setting.
Variable Speed Dial

3. Always check you have selected the correct forward or reverse button
when about to drive.

Forward/Reverse switch

4. Always reduce your speed when making sharp turns.

5. Do not switch off the power when the scooter is still moving forward
6. Use 12 volt batteries only.

5
Ramps and Curbs

1. Also check that ramp surface is toughened to prevent slipping. Never

drive across a slope of turn sharply on a slope.
2. When driving up curbs, always check the height of the curb to ensure
that it does not exceed 4” height.
General

1. Always use a seatbelt, and keep your feet on the scooter all the time.
2. Do not over load the scooter with its maximum weight capacity of
500lbs.
3. Do not attempt to lift or move a power scooter by any of its
removable parts. Personal injury and damage to the power chair may
result.
4. Never try to use your scooter beyond its limitations as described in the

Batteries and Charger

We recommend that you use deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and
maintenance free for your power scooter. Both are lead acid (SLA) and gel
cell are Deep cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Deep-cycle
batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down, and then
accept a relatively quick charge. Lead acid batteries should be charged as
often as possible.

Specification of the battery that we recommend:

Type: Deep Cycle Sealed lead acid or gel ell
Size: 20 AH
Voltage: 12 V Each (4) totals
Amp Hours: 80 Amp Hours

Depending on the use, terrain and driving conditions, the batteries will
provide a range of 32 miles of travel. However, even if the power scooter is
not in use we recommend that the batteries be charged periodically.

Note:
- Do not use any automotive batteries, they are not designed to handle
a long, deep discharge and are unsafe for use in power scooter.
- The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it
receives.
- Always charge your batteries in well ventilated areas
- The charger is intended for indoor use only.
- For maximum performance, it is recommended that you replace both
batteries at the same time if the batteries are weak.
- If the vehicle will not be used for a long period of time. Arrange to
have batteries recharged at least once every month to avoid
deterioration of the batteries.

Recharge Battery only when the key is in off position/ when indicator is
showing low status this confirms battery needs recharge.
11
Charger Use

1. Plug charger into Electric wall outlet

2. Insert charger port into scooter charging plug in located directly in
front of scooter main body directly under seat.
3. Red charger light indicates scooter is charging
4. Green charger light indicated scooter is fully charged.

EMC Statements

This portion of the content will provide the user with basic information that
describes the problems with EMI, known sources of EMI, protective
measures either to lessen the possibility or exposure or to minimize the
degree of exposure, and suggested action should unexpected or erratic
movement occur.
Caution: It is very important that you read this information regarding the
possible effects of electromagnetic interference on your electric P17RT
WHEELCHAIR.

■ ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) FROM RADIO WAVE

SOURCES Powered vehicle may be susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM)
emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio
(HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones. The interference
(from radio wave sources) can cause the powered vehicle to release its
brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also
permanently damage the powered vehicle’s control system. The intensity of
the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each
powered vehicle can resist EMI up to certain intensity. This is called its
“immunity level”. The higher the immunity level the greater the protection.
At this time, current technology is capable of achieving at least a 20 V/m
immunity level, which would provide useful protection from the more
common sources of radiated EMI.

12
This powered vehicle model as shipped, with no further modification, has
an immunity level of 20 V/m without any accessories.

There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in

the everyday environment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to
avoid. Others are not apparent and exposure is unavoidable. However, we
believe that by following the warning listed below, your risk to EMI will be
minimized.
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:

1. Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitter-receivers with the antenna

mounted directly on the transmitting unit.
Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios, “walkie talkie”, security, fire,
and police transceivers, cellular telephones and other personal
communication devices.

Note: some cellular telephones and similar transmit signal while they are
ON, even when not being used; 24 Medium-range mobile transceivers, such
as those used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and taxis. These usually
have the antenna mounted on the outside of the vehicle; and

3. Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast

Transmitter (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM)
radios.

Note: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop

Computers, AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD player, and cassette players, and
small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know,
are not
Likely to cause EMI problems to your powered vehicle.

13
■ POWERED VEHICLE ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one move closer to
the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave
sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally
bring high levels of EM energy very closer to the powered vehicle’s vehicle
movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are
recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of
the powered vehicle control system while using these devices. This can
affect powered

■ WARNINGS

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV

stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular
phones can affect powered vehicles and motorized wheelchair. Following
the warnings listed below should reduce the 39 40 chance of unintended
brake release or powered vehicle movement, which could
Result in serious injury.
1. Do not operate hand-held transceivers-receivers), such as citizens
band (CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as
cellular phones, while the powered vehicle is turned ON;
2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try
to avoid coming close to them;
3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered
vehicle OFF as soon as it is safe;
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the
powered vehicle, may make it more susceptible to EMI ( Note: There is
no easy way to evaluated their effect on the overall immunity of the
powered vehicle); and 25
5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the
powered vehicle manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of
EMI nearby,

14
■ IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1. 20 Volts per meter ( V/m) is a generally achievable and useful

immunity level against EMI ( the higher the level, the greater the
protection);
2. This product has an immunity level of 20 V/m without any accessories
and connected to it.
