INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the Shoprider® Dasher Portable scooter. The Dasher is the ultimate combination of style, comfort and portability. The Dasher comes with three interchangeable colors, giving you the choice of a different color every day, and includes several innovative and convenient features.
• Make sure the tiller is properly adjusted to the user or damage and injury could result. • DO NOT transport in a vehicle WHILE seated on the scooter. Shoprider® will not be responsible for any injury or damage that might result.
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.
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® provider, and note whether there are sources of EMI nearby.
ADJUSTMENTS Tiller Angle Adjustment (Fig 2) At the base of the tiller is a round knob. Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen the tiller and select the desired tiller angle. Turn the knob clockwise to securely lock the tiller into place. Folding the Tiller (Fig 3) Fold down the tiller by loosening the tiller angle adjustment knob located at the base of the tiller...
SCOOTER TILLER CONTROLS (FIG 7) Speed Controls The speed control allows you to set a speed between slow (turtle) and fast (rabbit). Battery Level Indicator Gauge Where the needle sits, shows the amount of charge left in your batteries. The amount of charge will only show at its true level when the scooter is in drive.
The scooter serial number is located on the seat post and consists of a combination of 13 numbers and letters. Shoprider recommends that you write the serial number down on the back of this manual for future reference. Refer to Page 8, Fig 5.
STARTING TO DRIVE YOUR SCOOTER First Time Use Prior to using your Dasher 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.
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 where ever possible avoid making turns.
TRANSPORT / STORAGE The Dasher Portable scooter is designed to be quickly and easily disassembled into sections for transportation and storage. Follow these simple guidelines for disassembly: Dasher Disassembly (Fig 9 & 10) 1) Remove the front basket: Lift basket up and off.
BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGING The Shoprider® Dasher Portable scooter is supplied with maintenance-free, sealed lead acid batteries. For easy handling, the batteries are contained within a battery pack. Battery life and performance may be affected by temperature, terrain, condition of battery, the weight of the user, and care of batteries.
If the batteries are weak, severely discharged or old, a variety of problems may occur with the unit including charging problems, reduced speed, loss of range, and others. Please contact your local Shoprider® provider for battery replacement.
