EMI Warning Electromagnetic Interface (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources Powered motorized scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause a powered scooter to release its brakes, move by itself or move in unintended directions.

Warnings The warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or powered scooter movement, which could result in serious injury. 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 powered scooter is turned ON.
Safety Guidelines The user needs to be familiar with the operation of this scooter before using. Please read the following notes carefully to ensure safety at all times. Always make certain your scooter is in full working order before use. 1.

Features The tiller of your scooter is uniquely designed to allow you to position it to a comfortable driving position. Your scooter’s tiller can be adjusted to five different positions. To decide which position best fits your needs, carefully release the red lever that is located on the left side, at the base of tiller, and gently lower or raise the tiller.

CAUTION: Do not switch to ‘off’ when scooter is moving. Failure to observe this will result in the motor brake being applied suddenly, and placing you in a dangerous situation. You should only switch ‘off’ when in motion in the case of an emergency. Continual use in this mode may cause undue stress to the drive system, and damage the main electronic speed control unit.
Free Wheel Mode Free-wheeling is used when you want to move your unit without riding on it. If for reasons of convenience you need to free wheel your scooter, there are two ways in which this can be accomplished: By disengaging the electromagnetic brakes and by lifting the front of the unit and letting it ride on its antitippers.
Operating Your Scooter Mounting For your first drive, make sure that you and your scooter are on a level surface. Make sure that the unit is off before sitting on it. Make certain that both of your feet are on the deck of the scooter. Insert the on/off key into its key slot, but leave it turned off.

and you will gently stop. Practice these two basic functions until you get used to them. Steer the scooter by turning the handlebars in the direction you wish to maneuver. Be sure to remember to give a wide clearance when turning, so that the rear wheels follow the path of the front ones, instead of cutting short.

Hold the doorknob or bar in one hand and apply power with the other hand (remember that you can drive forward by using your left thumb to move the throttle lever towards you). If the door is self-closing, you can go through, allowing the door to close behind you.

Never attempt to drive beyond the design capability of your scooter. Observe weather conditions. Tires can slip on wet or icy conditions. DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH DEEP WATER OR LEAVE YOUR SCOOTER EXPOSED TO HEAVY RAIN (i.e., during or after a thunderstorm). Only make a turn when all wheels are on or off the sidewalk.
Battery Charging & Maintenance BATTERY CHARGING: Your scooter has a lot of power, so keeping it working to its maximum potential means that its two batteries must be maintained with full power. Nightly recharging, after use, will help you give them a longer life and will ensure your scooter is always ready to go when you are.
4. Depending on the depth of the discharge, the minimum time to recharge serviceable batteries fully will take overnight. Just plug in the scooter before you go to sleep. Please note: that this time may increase as batteries get older, although, the scooter may be considered ready to use after 8 hours of charging.
Inspection & Maintenance Your scooter, like any other electro-mechanical machine, will benefit from regular servicing by your Shoprider dealer. You, too, can help keep your scooter in tiptop condition by following simple guide to home maintenance. CAUTION: Only qualified technical people should carry out service work. SEAT UPHOLSTERY: A damp cloth and a mild soap will keep your seat and backrest looking good.

3. Do not use the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise misused in any way. Take it to a qualified technician. 4. Do not dismantle the charger. This will void the warranty. 5. Do not switch off, unplug or interrupt the recharge cycle until the charging cycle has completed.
Some scooter users will use their scooter every day, and for long periods of time. Their batteries will receive a near total discharge, and the life of their batteries will be short (12 months or less in some cases). Other scooter users will use their vehicles less frequently, putting their batteries through a less demanding discharge lifestyle.
Trouble Shooting If your scooter will not start: 1. Make sure that the key switch is turned on? If it is, the battery condition gauge will be operating. If the battery condition gauge fails to operate when the key switch is in the “on”...
