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.

SCOOTER TILLER CONTROLS (FIG 4) 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 in your batteries. The amount of charge will only show at its true level when the scooter is in drive.
The anti-tip wheels are located at the rear of the scooter frame (Fig 5). The scooter should not be used unless the anti-tipping wheels are in place. Shoprider® is not responsible for damage or injury incurred due to improper or misuse of the scooter.
The scooter serial number is located under the battery pack. It is an alphanumeric combination of 13 numbers and letters. Shoprider recommends that you write the serial number down on the back of this manual for future reference. The battery pack is easily removed (refer to Fig.
STARTING TO DRIVE YOUR SCOOTER First Time Use Prior to using your Echo 3 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 permanent 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.
BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGING Batteries The Shoprider® Echo 3 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.
