II. SAFETY

Your Golden CricketTM is a battery-operated vehicle. Please exercise caution and consideration

when you are operating it. Driving your CricketTM carefully and thoughtfully will help ensure your

personal safety and the safety of other people.

Read and follow the owner’s manual before operating your power chair.

Before learning to operate your CricketTM, have your Golden Technologies, Inc.

representative determine if it is advisable for you to practice getting on and off your power chair

and operating it in the presence of an attendant.

BEFORE getting on your CricketTM

• Check to be certain that the power is turned OFF. See “Operation” section on pages 15-18. This

will eliminate the possibility of accidentally activating the joystick and causing injury to you or to

others.

• Check to be certain that your CricketTM is not in the freewheel mode. See the “Operation” section

on pages 15-18.

• Flip up the armrests.

• Flip up the footrest.

Getting ON your CricketTM

• Carefully seat yourself comfortably and securely on the seat.

• Flip down the footrest.

• Flip down the armrests.

• Fasten the seat belt.

Getting OFF your CricketTM

• Make certain that the power is turned off.

• Unfasten the seat belt.

• Flip up the armrests.

• Flip up the footrest.

• Carefully stand and step away from the chair.

MAXIMUM WEIGHT

Your CricketTM has been rated to a maximum payload (passenger and anything else being

carried on the power wheelchair) of 300 pounds. Exceeding the maximum weight rating will

void your war-ranty.

Exceeding the maximum weight capacity will void your warranty and may result in inju-

ry to yourself and/or others.

II. SAFETY

DRIVING ON AN INCLINE

• Drive with caution when attempting to negotiate any incline, even handicap access ramps.

•Try to keep your CricketTM moving when climbing an incline. If you do come to a stop, restart

and accelerate slowly and carefully.

• Always climb or descend a gradient by driving straight up or straight down the face of the slope.

• Do not traverse or drive across the face of a gradient.

• Do not attempt to negotiate an incline that is covered with snow, ice, cut or wet grass, leaves, or

any other potentially hazardous material.

• Do not back down an incline.

• Do not try to descend or climb a slope whose gradient is greater than the recommended maxi-

mum incline of 6 degrees.

If, while you are driving down a slope, your power chair starts to move faster

than you feel is safe, release the joystick lever and allow your CricketTM to come to a stop. When

you feel that you again have control of your power chair, push the joystick lever forward and

continue safely down the remainder of the slope.

MEDICATION

Always check with your physician to determine if any of the medications you are taking may affect

your judgment and/or your ability to operate your CricketTM. Also check with your physician con-

cerning your physical ability to operate a power chair.

FCC Rules Part 15

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two

conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Any changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the

equipment off and on, the users encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

the following measures:(1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.(2) Increase the separation

between the equipment and receiver.(3) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected. (4) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

III. EMI/RFI

The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has saturated our

environment with electromagnetic (radio) waves that are emitted by television transmitters, cellular

phones, citizen’s band radios (CBs) amateur radios (HAM radios), wireless computer links, micro-

wave transmitters, paging transmitters, etc. These electromagnetic (EM) waves are invisible and in-

crease in strength the closer one gets to the source of transmission. When these energy waves act

upon electrical devices and cause them to malfunction or to function in an erratic or uncontrolled

manner, they are referred to as Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference

(RFI).

EMI/RFI AND YOUR CricketTM

All electrically powered vehicles, including power chairs are susceptible to EMI/RFI. This interfer-

ence could result in abnormal or unintended movement of your Golden CricketTM.

Unintended movement or brake release could cause an accident or injury.

The FDA has determined that each make and model of power chair can resist EMI/RFI to a

certain level. The higher the level of immunity, the greater the degree of protection from EMI/RFI

measured in volts per meter (V/m). The FDA has also determined that current technology is capa-

ble of providing 20 V/m of immunity to EMI/RFI, which would provide useful protection against

common sources of interference. This product has been tested and has passed an immunity level

of 20 V/m.

EMI/RFI RECOMMENDATIONS

PROHIBITED! Do not turn on or use hand-held personal electronic communi-

cation devices such as cellular phones, walkie-talkies, or CB radios while your power chair is turned

on.

• Be aware of any nearby transmitters (radio, television, microwave, etc.) on your intended route

and avoid operation your of power chair close to any of those transmitters.

•Turn off the power if your CricketTM is going to be in a stationary position for any length of time.

• Be aware that adding accessories or components or modifying your power chair may make it

more susceptible to EMI/RFI.

• If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn your power chair off as soon as it is safe to

do so.

• Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake failure to your Golden Technologies

representative or to Golden Technologies.

Turn off your power chair as soon as it is safely possible if unintended or un-

controllable motion occurs or if unintended brake release occurs.
