Adjustments - Sterling S400 Instructions For Use Manual

9.13 THE RANGE OF YOUR VEHICLE:
The range figures are calculated in accordance with
international standard test, ISO 7176-part 4, Wheelchair
Energy Consumption Theoretical Range.
This test is intended to provide a standard method by
which different manufacturers can measure/calculate the
range using the same test method and allow purchasers
to make direct comparisons about the range of different
scooter models.
This test is carried out in controlled conditions with new,
fully charged batteries, on a level test surface and a user
weight of 100 kg.
The theoretical maximum range is as follows:
S400 = 25 km
S425 = 25 km
S700 = 35 km
These values should be seen as a theoretical maximum
and will be affected, (most likely reduced), if any single,
or combination of factors listed in Section 9.15 occur:
9.14 THE MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RANGE OF YOUR
VEHICLE:
Based on industry benchmark potential range figures
for similar products and battery sizes, the maximum
potential range of your vehicle is listed as below:
S400 – 36km
S425 – 42km
S700 – 55km
These values should be seen as a maximum potential
range and will be affected, (most likely reduced), if any
single, or combination of factors listed in Section 9.15
occur:
9.15 FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE POTENTIAL
RANGE OF YOUR VEHICLE:
• User weight more or less than 100 kg.
• Batteries whose charge, age and condition is less
than perfect.
• The terrain/surface is difficult e.g.. Very hilly, sloping,
muddy, loose, rough or consisting of gravel, grass, or
snow and ice.
• The scooter regularly climbs kerbs.
• The ambient temperature is very hot or very cold.
• Incorrect tyre pressures in one or more tyres.
• Lots of start/stop journeys.
• Use of additional powered options e.g. lights and
indicators.
NOTE:
• The battery size used on each scooter, should
provide sufficient range for the majority of user
requirements.
• Enhanced driving techniques, such as avoiding kerbs
and using paths instead of open ground, may assist
in improving the available range.
• Correctly charging the batteries on a daily basis will
also assist in improving range and battery life.

10.3 PROGRAMMING:
When the scooter leaves the factory, it is programmed to
