Safety Information Regarding Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Scooters and powerchairs are designed to operate under certain conditions. However, radio
waves or electromagnetic fields may affect the operation of the scooter. The source of EMI could
be radio or television transmitters or portable devices such as mobile phones, portable CB radios
etc.
Should any unintentional movement occur turn the scooter off as soon as safely possible.
Solar Energy
During periods of sunny weather, it is possible that surfaces of your scooter may reach high
temperatures (as with motor vehicles). Please take precautions if leaving the scooter in direct
sunlight for any period of time. Seek shade or cover the seat and hand controls to keep any
temperature increases to a minimum.
Health Factors
Suitability for this product has been assessed on the user's current state of health. It is essential that
the user regularly monitor their ability to use the scooter safely.
General Use
Take heed of the information given in this manual regarding safety and the maintenance of your
scooter. If adhered to, your scooter should give you years of reliable mobility.
Storage and General Care
We recommend that the scooter is always stored in a dry environment such as a garage or shed to
protect the chassis and other components from corrosion. Do not leave the scooter outside during
rainstorms. If the scooter is wet, wipe with a dry cloth to ensure there is no ingress of water into the
internal components of the scooter.
During everyday use, do not use in rain showers or travel through puddles. Avoid use in areas
where the scooter could become contaminated with sand or abrasive materials.
Emergency Procedures
Should your scooter behave erratically or become unresponsive whilst driving, release the wig-wag
lever so it may return to it's neutral position and switch off the power at the key / switch. These
procedures will stop the scooter and activate the braking system, preventing any further
uncontrolled manoeuvres.
Note: Switching the power off at the key / switch can cause the scooter to stop abruptly and should only
be used to stop the scooter during an emergency.
