V. OPERATING YOUR RS1200
1. TURN POWER ON
Insert the key into the key switch on the upper tiller and turn on the
power.
2. FORWARD MOTION
To move forward, pull the right side of the throttle lever under the
control console toward you. The further you pull, the faster the scooter will
go. The maximum speed may be selected by the speed selection switch
located on the top of the control console.
3. REVERSE MOTION
To reverse, pull the left side of the throttle lever under the control
console toward you. Reverse speed is limited to 4.8 km/h.
4. STOP
To stop the scooter, just release the throttle lever. The RS1200 will
quietly come to a smooth stop and electromechanical brake will
automatically engage to hold the scooter in position on horizontal surface or
an incline of up to 15 degrees. Quick smooth stops are made possible by the
dynamic braking built in the controller.
Warning:
The brake may not be as effective when engaged on inclines greater
than 15 degrees or 21% if the occupant’s weight exceeds 400 pounds.
In case the brake fails to engage, the RS1200 may roll slowly on a
slope. Turn off the power immediately.
5. MOVE MANUALLY
When in operation, the clutch release lever is in its engaged position.
To move the scooter manually, release the clutch lever mounted on the
gearbox under the rear shroud. Should you wish to freewheel the RS1200
pull the lever to its release position? Or you can press the PUSH button
located on dashboard to release the brake. Take your finger off the PUSH
button, and the brake will re-engage.

VI. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following guidelines are intended to assist you in the safe
operation of your RS1200 scooter. If you have any questions about the
correct operation of your scooter, please contact your authorized dealer.
Consult your physician if in doubt of your ability to operate the scooter.
Your scooter can negotiate grass, gravel, dirt, and sand surfaces, as
well as hard paved or carpeted surfaces. However, extra caution should be
taken when operating your unit on uneven surfaces.
There are some concerns about electromagnetic interference to
powered wheelchairs and scooters. You need to know what EMI
(Electromagnetic Interference) is and how to prevent such incidents. The
following paragraphs suggested by the FDA are intended to provide you
some important information about this.
CAUTION:
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS
INFORMATION REGARDING THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED
SCOOTER.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources
Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters (in this text, both will
be referred to as powered wheelchairs) 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 the powered
wheelchair to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended
directions. It can also permanently damage the powered wheelchair’s
control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured
in volts per meter (v/m). Each powered wheelchair can resist EMI up to
certain intensity. This is called its “immunity lever.” The higher the
immunity level is, the greater the protection. At this time, current
technology is capable of achieving at least a 20-v/m immunity level, which
would provide useful protection from the more common sources of radiated
EMI. The immunity level of this powered scooter as shipped, with no
further modification, is not known.
There are ample sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields
in the everyday environment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy
to avoid. Others are not apparent and exposure is unavoidable. However,
we believe that by following the warnings listed below, your risk to EMI
will be minimized.

8
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1) Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers) with the antenna
mounted directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band
(CB) radios, “walkie talkie,” security, fire, and police transceivers, cellular
telephones, and other personal communication devices. **Note: Some
cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they are ON,
even when not being used.
2) Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire
trucks, ambulances, and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on
the outside of the vehicle; and
3) Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast
transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM)
radios.
Note: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop
computers, AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, and cassette players, and
small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know,
are not likely to cause EMI problems to your powered wheelchair.
Powered Scooter Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one move
closer to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from Hand-held
radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to
unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the powered
scooter’s control system while using these devices. This can affect powered
scooter movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are
recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of
the powered scooter.
WARNINGS
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV
stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular
phones can affect powered scooter and motorized scooters. Following 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.
2) Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to
avoid coming close to them;
3) If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered
scooter OFF as soon as it is safe.

9
4) Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the
powered scooter, may make it more susceptible to EMI (Note: There is no
easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the powered
scooter.
5) Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the
powered scooter manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of EMI
nearby.
If unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn the power OFF as
soon as it is safe.
The following warning label is attached to your scooter in order to
make users always aware that a possibility of electromagnetic interference
exists.
WARNING: Radio wave sources may affect scooter control
Radio waves sources, such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio
(HAM) transmitters, cellular phones, and two-way radios, can affect
motorized scooters. Following the warnings listed below should reduce the
chance of unintended brake release or scooter movement, which could
result in serious injury. 1). Do not turn ON or use hand-held personal
communication devices, such as citizens band (CB) radios and cellular
phones, while your scooter is turned ON; 2). Be aware of nearby
transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and hand-held or mobile two-way
radios, and try to avoid coming close to them. 3). If unintended movement
or brake release occurs, turn the power OFF as soon as it is safe. 4). Be
aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying your scooter,
may make it more susceptible to interference from radio wave sources.
(Note: There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity
of the scooter), and 5). Report all incidents of unintended movement or
brake release to the scooter manufacturer, and note whether there is a radio
wave source nearby. Important Information: 1) 20 volts per meter (v/m) is a
generally achievable and useful immunity lever, against interference from
radio wave sources (as of May 1994) (the higher the lever, the greater the
protection); 2) The immunity level of this product is not known.
