EMI Warning

Shoprider

®

scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is a kind of interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations,

TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radio, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the scooter’s control system. The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:

1. Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-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 devices transmit signals while they are

ON, even when not being used.

2. 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.

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

(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 players, and cassette players, and small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not

likely to cause problems to the scooter.

Scooter Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

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

6

WARNINGS

1. Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers), such as citizens band

(CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the scooter 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 scooter OFF as soon as it is safe.

4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the scooter may make it more susceptible to EMI.

NOTE! There is no easy way to evaluate the overall immunity of the scooter.

5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or braking to your Shoprider

®

dealer, and note whether there are sources of EMI nearby.

WARNING: The original manufacturer and the importer of the scooter is not responsible for damage or injury incurred due to improper and unsafe use of our

scooter.

ADJUSTMENTS

Tiller Angle Adjustment (Fig. 1)

The tiller of your scooter is uniquely designed to allow you to position it to a comfortable driving position.

Your scooter’s tiller is very versatile, and can be adjusted to different positions. To decide which position best fits your needs, carefully push the black lever that is located on the right side of tiller, and gently lower or raise the tiller. Once you are satisfied with the position of the tiller, simply release the black lever and the tiller will automatically lock for your safety.

Seat Slide & Swivel Adjustment (Fig. 2)

Pulling up on the seat slide lever allows the seat position to be adjusted forward or backward. Release the lever and the seat will lock in that position. Under the right side of the seat there is a spring loaded red lever. Pulling up on the lever allows the seat to swivel, when released the seat will lock into one of 4 positions.

STARTING TO DRIVE YOUR SCOOTER

Getting Started

• Select a level area with plenty of space.

• Mount the scooter, either by lifting the arm and sliding on to the seat or rotate the seat outwards and then rotate the seat back to face the tiller.

• Adjust the tiller and seat as described previously.

Starting Scooter Movement

• Ensure that you are seated in a comfortable position.

• Turn the key to the ON position.

• Your speed setting should be on 1 or 2.

• Pull your right hand finger lever, the scooter will move forward slowly. The harder you pull the faster the scooter goes but will only reach the speed level that has been selected.

• Release the lever and the scooter will slowly come to a stop and the magnetic brake will

be applied.

Steering

Steering the scooter is light and easy. Ensure when starting off you give a wide clearance when turning so that the rear wheels clear any obstacle that you are passing. When steering through limited spaces such as a doorway or when turning around, turn the tiller handles where you want to go and apply power gently. The scooter will turn very tightly, but will still move with complete stability as long as the speed is not too high.

Reversing

Before reversing ensure that the area behind is free from any hazards or obstructions.

Adjust your speed setting to a low setting before you reverse. Pull/press the left thumb/finger lever, and steer wide of all corners and obstacles.

Dismounting

Before dismounting ensure that the key is turned to the off position.

CAUTION: Please ensure that care is exercised when entering or leaving the scooter

and that the tiller and foot rest is not used for support.

13

EXTRA GUIDELINES IN THE CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER

Ramps

The stability of your scooter is governed by several factors such as the seating position, the angle of the slope and your height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so directly and not at an angle and whenever possible avoid making turns. When going down a ramp or slope keep the speed settings to slow. This will ensure there is a safe controlled descent. When the finger levers are released the scooter will slowly stop.

Safe Climbing Angle

Always follow the guidelines of the safe climbing angle shown as shown in figure 9.

Caution - Do not turn off the control key while the unit is in motion

Grass and Gravel

Please follow the guidelines given previously and your scooter will perform admirably over many surfaces. Avoid long grass, loose gravel and sand.

NOTE: You should not operate your scooter in wet weather or on wet surfaces. This

may cause the motor to sort out.

BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGER

The Shoprider

®

scooter is supplied with maintenance free, sealed lead acid batteries.

Battery performance can be affected by temperature, terrain, condition of battery, type of battery charger, the weight of the user, wind speed, etc. The battery level indicator is only a guide and is most effective when the scooter is moving, only then is the true discharge level displayed.

• When the scooter stops the battery level indicator may indicate full.

• An active user can use up to 30% of battery capacity or more per day.

• Inactive users may only use 50% of battery capacity in a week.

• In both these instances the battery should be put on charge over night.

Battery Charger

The battery charger supplied is special to your scooter, and may not be suitable for any other power mobility product. Use only the charger supplied with your scooter; other marks of chargers may permanently damage your scooter batteries, and would void the warranty.

All the information of battery charger and its operation instruction shall be referred to the user manual attached with the charger in its packaging paper box.

First Time Use

Prior to using your Portable scooter for the first time, you must charge the batteries fully

(refer to Battery Charging Procedures). Charging may take up to 12 hours. Charging the batteries completely prior to first time use will benefit battery efficiency. Failure to do so may cause damage.

Charging

To charge the batteries connect the 3-pin male plug lead into the 3-pin female battery-charging socket located on the scooter tiller. Plug the A/C cord plug into the wall socket and the other end into the charger (2-pin). Please refer to the LED indicator description based on charging status of the charger’s manual. Once the batteries are completely charged, unplug the A/C cord from the wall then unplug the 3-pin lead from the scooter tiller.

WARNING: Only use the original Shoprider

MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

At six-month intervals you should lubricate the following parts with a light oil or similar lubricant:

• Seat pivot post.

• Seat release lever pinion.

• Wheel bearings.

• Axle of scooter.

CAUTION – DO NOT USE WD40 TO LUBRICATE PARTS!! DO NOT LUBRICATE

TRANSAXLE/GEAR BOX!! In the event of any difficulties please consult your dealer.

Cleaning

Your scooter should be cleaned as required however as with all electrical equipment you must ensure that extreme care is used to not water damage e any sensitive parts.

Read the following warnings

• Only use a soft damp cloth.

• Never use a hose to wash your scooter.

Wheels and Tyres

The wheels of your scooter have split rims. This allows any punctures to be repaired easily.

To change the wheels remove the center 13 mm bolt and slide the wheel off its axles. Take care not to lose the drive key on the rear wheels. When changing a tyre you must deflate the tyre first. Remove the four bolts to split the rim if required. Ensure that when refitting the wheel the retaining bolt is fitted with a locking washer (with drive key for the rear wheel).

Tyre pressure is recommended to be kept at 30 psi on the rear tyres and 25 psi on the front.

Note when refitting the tube a small amount of air in the tube will prevent the tube from pinching when reassembling the split rim.

Caution: On the tyre it states maximum tyre pressure is 50psi. This is a maximum tyre pressure and the tyres should never be inflated to this pressure.

Attention: Tyres should be maintained at the correct pressure noted above to ensure even wear and ride comfort.
