II. SAFETY

Your Patriot™ is a battery-operated personal mobility vehicle. Please exercise caution and consideration when you are operating it. Driving your Patriot carefully and thoughtfully will help ensure your personal safety and the safety of other people.

MANDATORY! Read completely and understand this owner’s manual before

assembling, operating, transporting, or disassembling your Patriot scooter.

Before learning to operate your Patriot, have your authorized Golden

Technologies, Inc. dealer determine if it is advisable for you to practice getting on and off your Patriot and operating it in the presence of an attendant.

BEFORE GETTING ON YOUR PATRIOT

• Check to be certain that the power is turned off. See section V. "Operation" in this manual. This will eliminate the possibility of accidentally activating the paddle controls and causing injury to yourself and/or others.

• Check to be certain that your Patriot’s freewheel lever is in the engaged position. See section V. “Operation” in this manual.

• Flip up the armrests.

When getting on or off your Patriot, keep your weight toward the middle of the deck. Putting most or all of your weight on the edge of the deck may cause an unstable condition.

GETTING ON YOUR PATRIOT

• Position the seat for safe and easy mounting. Ensure that the seat is facing forward. See

Section V. "Operation."

• Return tiller to full upright position if necessary.

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

• Flip down the armrest(s.)

GETTING OFF YOUR PATRIOT

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

• Return tiller to full upright position

• Flip up the armrests.

• Carefully place one foot on the ground, transfer your weight to that leg, and slowly come to a standing position.

• Step away from the scooter.

MAXIMUM WEIGHT

Your Patriot has been rated to a maximum payload (operator and anything else being carried onboard) of 400 pounds. Exceeding the maximum weight rating will void the warranty.

Exceeding the maximum weight rating may result in injury to yourself and/or others.

Patriot™_GR575 REVB_102414

II. SAFETY

DRIVING ON INCLINES

• For maximum stability, lean forward in your Patriot’s seat while proceeding up ramps, inclines, curbs, or any low rise. See figure 2.

• Drive with caution when attempting to negotiate any incline, even handicap access ramps.

• Always climb or descend an incline by driving straight up or straight down the face of the slope. See figure 2.

• Do not traverse or drive across the face of an incline in any direction. See figure 3.

• Do not attempt to negotiate an incline that is covered with snow, ice, salt, cut or wet grass, leaves, or any other potentially hazardous material.

• Do not drive your scooter in reverse down an incline.

• Try to keep your Patriot moving when climbing an incline. If you do come to a stop, restart and accelerate slowly and carefully.

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

*Patriot maximum recommended incline is 7.5°.

Figure 2. Going Up an Incline Figure 3. Traversing an Incline

If, while you are driving down a slope, your scooter starts to move faster than you feel is safe, release the throttle control lever and allow your Patriot to come to a stop.

When you feel that you again have control of your scooter, push the throttle control lever forward and continue safely down the remainder of the slope.

DRIVING DOWN A DECLINE

• Lower speed setting

• Whenever it is safely possible, drive forward down any ramp, low rise, or incline.

Golden Technologies, Inc. does not recommend that you drive your scooter in reverse down any incline, ramp, curb, or low rise. Backing down any slope may create a very hazardous situation. If it is necessary to back down a slope follow one of two procedures.

Patriot™_GR575 REVB_102414

II. SAFETY

When using either of the following procedures to back down a slope, Golden

Technologies, Inc. strongly advises that you have the assistance of another person.

Procedure 1 - Under Power

1. Set the key switch to the “Off” position. See section V. “Operation.”

2. Dismount your Patriot™.

3. Set the key switch to the “On” position. See section V. “Operation.”

4. While standing alongside your scooter, carefully operate the controls at the lowest speed setting. See section V. “Operation.”

5. Slowly and carefully back your scooter down the incline.

6. Carefully remount your Patriot and resume normal operation.

When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the park brake is released. If the batteries are dead, the motor braking system will not work. The weight of the scooter on a slope may cause you to lose control of the scooter. If you do not feel capable of manually controlling your scooter down the slope, request assistance or do not attempt to use this procedure.

Procedure 2 - Emergency (No Power)

1. Set the key switch to the “Off” position. See section V. “Operation.”

2. Dismount your Patriot™.

3. Set the freewheel lever to “Disengaged.”

4. While standing alongside the scooter, carefully manually maneuver it down the slope.

5. When you have reached a level surface at the bottom of the slope, position the freewheel lever in the engaged position. See figure 11 on page 20.

6. To restore power, set the key switch to the “On” position. See section V. “Operation.”

Motor Braking System

Your scooter is equipped with a system that uses the motor to aid in braking. This motor brake system is designed to work when the key is in either the on position or the off position.

When the key switch is in the on position, the freewheel is in the engaged position, and the scooter is under power, the motor will help slow down the scooter as soon as you take your hand off of the throttle lever.

When the key switch is in the off position and the freewheel lever is in the disengaged position, the motor brake system will keep you from pushing the scooter too fast (i.e. down a slope).

You may notice this when pushing the scooter. The scooter will move freely until you reach a certain speed. You will then encounter some resistance as the motor brake system is activated.

Patriot™_GR575 REVB_102414

II. SAFETY

MEDICATION

Always check with your physician to determine if any of the medications you are taking may affect your judgment and/or your ability to operate your Patriot. Also check with your physician concerning your physical ability to operate a scooter.

Do not connect or allow anyone except an authorized Golden Technologies,

Inc. dealer to connect any electrical or mechanical device to your Patriot. Unauthorized accessories will void the warranty and may cause injury.

Please remember that while on your Golden Patriot, you are a motorized pedestrian. You must observe and obey all pedestrian rules and regulations for the locale in which you are riding.

Please use your Patriot™ scooter often and allow it to expand the horizons of your daily life.

The more mobility your Golden Patriot brings to you, the happier you will be, and the more satisfied we at Golden Technologies, Inc. will be! But as with all things, especially motor operated vehicles, observing a few rules and safety considerations will help ensure safe scooter operation. So please follow the rules below.

RULES FOR USE AND OTHER SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Read completely and understand this owner's manual before assembling, operating, transporting, or disassembling your Golden Patriot.

• Always operate your Golden Patriot with thought, care, and safety.

Patriot™_GR575 REVB_102414

II. SAFETY

RULES FOR USE AND OTHER SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS – continued

• Always use caution when driving on soft or uneven surfaces such as grass or gravel. Also use caution on decks where there is no railing.

• Never drive on the roadway, except when you must cross the street.

• Always cross streets at intersections and use crosswalks or the most direct route, making sure that your path is clear and that you are visible to motor traffic.

• Never drive your Patriot up or down a step or curb that is higher than the ground clearance listed on the specifications chart (see pages 14-15).

• Never back up or down a step or curb.

• Do not drive your Patriot in icy or salted conditions.

• Never operate your Patriot while you are under the influence of alcohol.

• Do not operate or store your Patriot where it will be exposed to rain, snow, mist, and below freezing temperatures.

Do not place hot liquids into the bottle holders. The hot liquid could spill while operating the scooter, causing you to get burned.

Should you encounter a problem with the operation of your mobility device such as a mechanical or electrical problem immediately stop using the product. Disconnect the batteries then contact the dealer from whom you purchased your mobility device for evaluation of the problem and repair if needed.

Patriot™_GR575 REVB_102414

III. EMI/RFI

The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has saturated our environment with electromagnetic (radio) waves that are emitted by television transmitters, cellular phones, citizen’s band radios (CBs), amateur radios (ham radios), wireless computer links, microwave transmitters, paging transmitters, etc. These electromagnetic (EM) waves are invisible and increase in strength the closer one gets to the source of transmission. When these energy waves act upon electrical devices and cause them to malfunction or to function in an erratic or uncontrolled manner, they are referred to as Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).

EMI/RFI AND YOUR PATRIOT

All electrically powered vehicles, including scooters are susceptible to Electromagnetic

Interference/Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI). This interference could result in abnormal, unintended movement of your Golden Patriot.

Unintended movement or brake release could cause an accident or injury.

The FDA has determined that each make and model of scooter can resist EMI/RFI to a certain level. The higher the level of resistance, the greater the degree of protection from

EMI/RFI—measured in volts per meter (V/m). The FDA has also determined that current technology is capable of providing 20 V/m of resistance to EMI/RFI, which would provide useful protection against common sources of interference. This product has been tested and has passed an immunity level of 20 V/m.

EMI/RFI RECOMMENDATIONS

PROHIBITED! Do not turn on or use hand-held personal electronic

communication devices such as cellular phones, walkie-talkies, and CB radios

while your scooter is turned on.

• Be aware of any nearby transmitters (radio, television, microwave, etc.) on your intended route and avoid operating your scooter close to any of those transmitters.

• Turn off the power if your Patriot is going to be in a stationary position for any length of time.

• Be aware that adding accessories or components or modifying your scooter may make it more susceptible to EMI/RFI.

• If unintended movement or park brake release occurs, turn your scooter off as soon as it is safe to do so.

• Report all incidents of unintended movement or park brake failure to Golden

Technologies, Inc. Technical Service at (800) 624-6374.

Turn off your scooter as soon as it is safely possible if unintended or uncontrollable motion occurs or if unintended park brake release occurs.

VI. RIDING YOUR Patriot™

BASIC DRIVING

1. Make certain that you are seated safely and properly on your Golden Patriot.

2. Turn the speed control dial fully counterclockwise to its slowest setting.

3. Insert the key into the key switch—if you have not already done so.

4. Turn the key clockwise to the “On” position.

5. Place your hands on the handgrips.

• If you wish to drive forward, pull back on the right side of the throttle control lever (or push the left side of the throttle control lever forward.)

• If you wish to drive in reverse, pull back the left side of the throttle control lever (or push the right side of the throttle control lever forward.)

6. Pull on the throttle control lever to gently accelerate your Patriot.

7. Release the throttle control lever to allow your Patriot to come gently to a full stop.

8. Practice these two basic functions until you feel that you have control of your scooter.

Steering

Steering your Golden Patriot is easy and logical.

1. With both hands on the handgrips of the tiller (see figure 4 on page 13), turn the tiller to the right to travel to the right.

2. With both hands on the handgrips of the tiller (see figure 4 on page 13), turn the tiller to the left to travel to the left.

3. Make certain to maintain sufficient clearance when turning your scooter so that the rear wheels will clear any obstacle.

Turning your scooter too sharply at too high a speed may create a situation where one of the wheels will leave the ground. This may increase the possibility of tipping the scooter. Avoid this danger at all times by decelerating and steering a wide arc around corners and obstacles.

Patriot™_GR575 REVB_102414

VI. RIDING YOUR Patriot™

Steering in a Tight Spot

If you must steer in a tight spot, such as entering a doorway or when turning around:

1. Bring your Patriot to a full stop.

2. Set speed at the lowest setting.

3. Turn the tiller to the direction in which you wish to drive.

For more information on dealing with obstacle and tight spots, see “Control Through Tight

Spots” on the next page.

Steering in Reverse

Backing up your Patriot requires attention to what you are doing.

1. Use your right fingers to push the throttle control lever or use your left fingers to pull back on the throttle control lever. See figure 5 on page 16.

2. Turn the tiller to the left to drive in reverse to the left.

3. Turn the tiller to the right to drive in reverse to the right.

Your Patriot’s speed in reverse is fifty percent of the forward speed set at the speed control dial.

Prevent injury! Do not drive down an incline in reverse.

Patriot™_GR575 REVB_102414

VI. RIDING YOUR Patriot™

CONTROL THROUGH TIGHT SPOTS

As you use your Golden Patriot to greatly increase your mobility, you will undoubtedly encounter some obstacles that will require practice to negotiate smoothly and safely. Below are some common obstacles that you may meet during the daily use of your scooter. Listed with those obstacles are some driving tips that should help you conquer those obstacles.

Learn and follow those tips, and with surprising ease you will soon be in control of your

Patriot as you maneuver it through doors, up and down ramps, up and over curbs, through grass and gravel, and up and down inclines.

Ramps

When proceeding up any ramp, curb, or incline:

• Lean forward in your seat to move your center of gravity forward for maximum stability and safety.

If the ramp has a switchback, good cornering ability is required.

• Maneuver your Patriot so that the front wheels take wide swings around the corners of the ramp.

• Doing this will allow your scooter's back wheels to follow a wide arc around the corner, staying clear of obstacles.

If you must stop your Patriot while driving up a ramp:

• Starting up again simply requires that you apply gentle and steady forward power pressure to the throttle control lever.

• Accelerate gently after stopping on any incline.

Driving down a ramp:

• Keep your Patriot’s speed control dial set fully counterclockwise at the slowest speed setting.

• If you must come to a stop, release the throttle control lever slowly and smoothly.

Prevent injury! Do not drive down an incline in reverse.

Curbs

• See specifications for maximum curb height.

• Always use caution when negotiating any curb.

• Go up or down a curb head on at a direct 90° angle.

• Approach and negotiate the curb so that both back wheels of your scooter go over the curb at the same time.

• Never negotiate inclines or curbs by traversing them. Doing so may cause the scooter to tip over.

• Go down a curb slowly to avoid a jarring bump. Use as little power as possible.

Grass and Gravel

Your Golden Patriot performs admirably on grass, gravel, and hills, but you must follow the operational parameters presented in this manual. Refer to the “Safety” section. If you are unsure about any situation, avoid it. Common sense is your best protection.

• Feel free to use your Golden Patriot on lawns or in park areas.

• Avoid long or high grass, which may wrap around your scooter's axles.

• Avoid loose gravel.

IX. TRANSPORTING YOUR Patriot™

Golden Patriot

The Golden Patriot

can be equipped with a docking device for loading onto a vehicle by means of a mechanical lift or hoist. Contact your Golden Technologies, Inc. dealer for more information concerning docking devices and scooter lift devices.

To Transport Your Patriot:

• Disassemble or fold down the seat and tiller (see section VII. “Disassembly”) as close as possible to the loading area of the vehicle to be used for transporting your scooter.

• The degree to which you disassemble your Patriot or fold the seat and tiller depends on the size and shape of the cargo area of the transporting vehicle.

• Moving blankets or other forms of padding may be used to protect your Patriot

during transportation.

• Do not lift your Patriot by its plastic body parts or dash. Breakage of these parts is not covered by the warranty.

• Do not use the tires or wheels to lift the rear carriage. The carriage may rotate and cause injury or damage.

If your scooter and its components are not properly and securely stowed during transportation, the scooter or the components may move or become airborne and cause injury or damage.

Never sit on your Patriot when it is being transported. Always fasten down your Patriot securely with an approved tie-down system while transporting your scooter.

If transporting your scooter on an outside lift, remove the seat or make sure the seat is fasten down s e c u r ely with an approved tie-down system supplied by your lift manufacturer while transporting your scooter. Failure to do so could result in the seat coming loose and becoming airborne. This situation could cause problems for the traffic behind you and possibly result in an injury.

Patriot™_GR575 REVB_102414

X. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT! New batteries MUST be fully charged prior to the initial use of your scooter.

Charge new batteries for 12 hours even if the battery gauge already shows a full charge. This is to condition your new batteries for maximum performance.

WARNING! Corrosive chemicals contained inside the battery.

Explosive battery conditions exist.

WARNING! Charger surface can become HOT.

Electrical hazard!

BATTERIES AND CHARGING

Battery maintenance is the most important part of maintaining your scooter. Keeping the batteries fully charged helps to extend battery life. Use the following guidelines to help keep your batteries in optimum condition.

• For daily use, keep batteries fully charged. We recommend that you plug in the off-board charger after each use and charge 6-8 hours.

“For best results please charge your batteries overnight after every use.”

• If you are not going to use the scooter for more than a week, fully charge the batteries and then disconnect them from the scooter. See figure 13 on page 25.

Charging Guidelines Checklist to Maximize Battery Life

 Use only the automatic off-board charger supplied for all routine charging.

 Never use an automotive or wet type charger.

 Avoid deep discharges and never drain the batteries completely.

 Do not leave batteries in a low state of charge for extended periods. Charge a discharged battery as soon as possible.

 Fully recharge batteries regularly.

Charger Port

 Always store batteries fully charged.

 Check stored batteries once a month and recharge as

necessary.

To Charge the Batteries:

The charger for all Patriot models is an off-board charger.

Seat Receiver

MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER

The main circuit breaker reset button is located under the seat in front of the battery cover. See figure 19.

Battery Cover

WARNING! Do not attempt electrical repairs.

Consult Golden Technologies, Inc. or your authorized

Golden Technologies, Inc. dealer. If, for no apparent

reason, your Patriot stops operating, the main circuit

breaker may have tripped.

Circuit Breaker

Possible causes for the main circuit breaker to trip:

Floor Mat

• Driving up a long, steep hill. Figure 19. Circuit Breaker

• Driving over a curb.

• Run-down batteries.

As you operate your Patriot, battery voltages go down and battery current must rise to satisfy the demands of the motor and of other electrical devices operating on your scooter.

This can cause a heavy current draw that will trip the main circuit breaker.

Remedy:

• Recharge your Patriot’s batteries. See “Batteries and Charging” on page 31.

• If the problem continues, have your authorized Golden Technologies, Inc. dealer load test the batteries.

• If the batteries are good, the charger may be the problem. Consult your authorized Golden

Technologies, Inc. dealer.

Resetting the Main Circuit Breaker

1. If the main circuit breaker trips as a result of run-down batteries or because of a temporary overload, reset the circuit breaker:

2. Wait ten minutes or so for the motor control board to return to the normal operating temperature range.

3. Make certain that the key switch is set to the “Off” position.

4. Press in on the main circuit breaker reset button. See figure 19.

If the main circuit breaker continues to trip, there is probably an underlying electrical fault that needs attention.

• Contact your authorized Golden Technologies, Inc. dealer.

• Do not keep resetting the main circuit breaker without correcting the underlying electrical problem.

Patriot™_GR575 REVB_102414

X. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

DIAGNOSTICS

The diagnostics feature of your Golden Patriot microprocessor based motor control board functions as follows:

• Any fault condition with the controller or with an associated system will cause the scooter to beep.

• The number of beeps in each series is referred to as the “Beep Code.”

• The beep code indicates the nature of the condition or fault.

BEEP CODES

The S-Drive controller uses audible beeps to indicate the status of the system. When the controller notices that there is a malfunction in the system, it will beep a code when the power is on. The signal will be a set of fast beeps lasting two seconds. The slower diagnostic pattern will then be sounded once. For example, when it Beeps five times and stops, that indicates BEEP code #5 – Brake Trip.

The following BEEP codes are used to help diagnose system errors:

BEEP Code #2 – Low Battery Voltage

BEEP Code #3 – High Battery Voltage

BEEP Code #5 – Solenoid Brake Trip

BEEP Code #6 – Throttle Trip

BEEP Code #7 – Throttle Trip

BEEP Code #8 – Motor Disconnected

BEEP Code #9 – Possible Controller Trip

BEEP CODE #2 – LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE

The battery needs charging or there is a bad connection to the battery. Check the connections to the battery. If the connections are good, try charging the battery.

BEEP CODE #3 - HIGH BATTERY VOLTAGE

An excessive voltage has been applied to the S-drive. This is usually caused by a poor battery connection. Check the battery connections. NOTE: The error may only be present

when going down hill and power goes back to the batteries.

BEEP CODE #5 – SOLENOID BRAKE TRIP

The parking brake has a bad connection. Check the parking brake and motor connections.

Make sure all the system connections are secure.

Patriot™_GR575 REVB_102414

X. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

BEEP CODE #6 – THROTTLE TRIP (OUT OF NEUTRAL)

A throttle trip is indicated. Make sure the throttle is in the neutral position before switching on the scooter.

BEEP CODE #7 – THROTTLE TRIP/SPEED CONTROL FAULT (VOLTAGE ERROR).

A throttle trip is indicated. Indicates a problem with the throttle control or speed control.

BEEP CODE #8 - MOTOR DISCONNECTED

The motor has a bad connection. Check all the connections and leads between the motor and the S-drive. Check the position of the freewheel switch.

BEEP CODE #9 – POSSIBLE CONTROLLER TRIP

A control system trip is indicated. Make sure all connections are secure.
