III. SAFETY GUIDELINES
WEIGHT CAPACITY
This scooter has a maximum weight capacity that should never be exceeded. Please refer to Section XII SPECIFICATIONS for this information. The maximum weight capacity includes the user and any accessories.
WARNING – Exceeding the maximum weight capacity will void your warranty. Drive Medical will not be held responsible for injuries and/or damages resulting from failure to observe weight capacities.
WARNING – Do not carry passengers on your scooter. Your scooter is designed and tested for one user to operate while seated.
INCLINE GUIDELINES
Use caution when approaching inclines or declines; if necessary lower the speed before traveling on a slope.
When traveling up an incline try to keep the scooter moving forward. If you must come to a stop, use caution and slowly accelerate the scooter forward.
When traveling down an incline lower the speed on your scooter to the slowest setting, and proceed cautiously. If the scooter is traveling down the incline faster than you expected, slowly release the throttle and apply the hand brake, then slightly push the throttle forward to continue safely down the incline.
WARNING – Drive your scooter straight up or down an incline, never backwards. Erratic movements, or back and forth patterns may increase the chance of tipping.
ZooMe 3 Owner’s Manual
10 www.drivemedical.com
REV3.10.31.17
III. SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING – Do not travel up an incline with the seat completely reclined without an attendant. Inclines vary, and doing so may decrease stability.
WARNING – Do not, under any circumstances, travel on a slope greater than the maximum climbing angle for this scooter. Exceeding the climbing angle may cause unstable conditions.
BRAKES & STOPPING
Coming to a stop in your scooter can simply be done by releasing the throttle. The throttle will automatically return to the center position, and the scooter will come to a stop.

IV.
EMI INFORMATION
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) tests have shown to produce adverse effects on the performance and control of electrically powered mobility devices.
EMI can be produced from different sources such as cellular phones, two-way radios, radio stations, television stations, amateur radio transmitters (HAM), wireless computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and transceivers used by emergency vehicles.
The EMI waves can cause unintentional movement of the scooter, or damage to the controller. Every electrical powered mobility device has a resistance to EMI. The higher the resistance level the greater the protection. The intensity of the interference can be measured in volts per meter, V/m.
At this time, current technology is capable of achieving an immunity level of 20 V/m, which provides protection from more common sources of EMI. Your scooter, with no modifications, has an immunity level of 20 V/m.
EMI becomes more intense as you move closer to the source. The EMI produced from hand-held radios are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EMI very close to the scooter’s control system, effecting your movement and braking. The warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of your scooter.
WARNING – Do not operate hand-held transceivers such as CB (citizens band) radios, or turn on personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the scooter is powered on.
WARNING – Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or television stations, and avoid close proximity.
WARNING – If you experience unintended movement or brake release occurs, power off as soon as it is safe. Please report EMI incidents to Drive
Medical.

VIII. OPERATION
After your scooter is assembled, and adjustments have been made you are now ready to operate your scooter.
The key switch applies power to the control system electronics, which in turn supplies power to the motors. Turn the key switch with the key inserted to turn on your scooter.
ATTENTION – Do not use the key switch to stop, or as a brake. Doing so may shorten the life of the drive components.
ATTENTION – The control panel assembly will rotate up and down to adjust the angle of the headlight. To avoid movement tighten the two philips head screws that secure the control panel to the handlebars.
SUGGESTION – It is recommended you start at slow speeds when familiarizing yourself with your scooter controls. Once you feel comfortable with the controls, and movement of the scooter you may then increase the speed.
Engage the throttle slowly, and begin steering to drive forward, backward, left or right. If you want to stop the scooter, release the throttle and engage the hand brake.
ATTENTION - Only releasing the throttle without engaging the hand brake will cause the scooter to coast, it will not engage a braking mechanism.

X. INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
STORAGE
If you need to store your scooter, be sure it is stored in a dry place free from extreme temperatures. Always fully charge, and then disconnect the batteries prior to storage.
ATTENTION – Infrequently charged batteries, or batteries stored without a full charge are susceptible to permanent damage, causing unreliable performance from your scooter.
If your scooter is stored for a prolonged period flat spots may develop in the wheels.
This will cause an uneven sensation when driving, but should work itself out over time. If you still notice the flat spots after continued use, replace the wheels on your scooter immediately.
SUGGESTION – You can place a sturdy platform under the frame of your scooter to bring the wheels off the ground, and weight off the wheels.
This will prevent flat spots from developing while storing your scooter.
WARNING – Improper storage of your scooter may result in permanent damage to the frame and electronics.
CLEANING & DISINFECTION
To clean your scooter use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner on the plastic and metal parts. If necessary, clean your scooter with an approved disinfectant safe for use on your unit.
WARNING – Never hose off your scooter or expose it to direct contact with water.
WARNING – Never use any chemicals on the upholstery of your seat, this may cause the seat to dry out and crack.
