Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of your Shoprider®scooter. This scooter

incorporates the latest innovative designs to provide a compact and

lightweight means of mobility. The scooter can be used in confined spaces

both indoors and out. Direct drive rear transaxles and electromagnetic brakes

give a safe and efficient ride. The scooter can be easily disassembled without

tools and will fit into the boot of most vehicles for easy transport.

Intended Use

The scooter was carefully designed for indoor or outdoor use in pedestrian

areas by a single individual with limited mobility up to a maximum weight of

100kg (16st). The acute manoeuvrability prohibits the use by persons who are

severely physically impaired or those who have balance difficulties. Your

assessor will determine the suitability of the scooter for the individual.

Note: Persons with lower body amputations should not use this product

unless evaluated with artificial limbs fitted, as stability may be

compromised due to an irregular centre of gravity. The three wheeled

model is intended to be used in pedestrianised areas such as shopping

precincts with drop kerbs for access. Small three wheeled scooters can

become unstable if steered sharply at full speed. Should the scooter be

used in an environment other than that intended serious injury could

occur. Each user should be assessed to establish the suitablity of the

scooter model prior to purchase.

Safety Advice

DO:

 Read this manual carefully before using your scooter

 Turn the power off when transferring to and from the scooter

 Select a slow speed when going down gradients (max 6°) or over

uneven ground

 Keep your feet on the scooter whilst driving

 Ensure the seat is in a fixed position facing forwards before driving

 Ensure the tiller is not in the ‘locked’ position

 Ensure the batteries are fully charged before your journey

 Avoid rough or soft terrain and long grass wherever possible

 Be aware of other road users and pedestrians

 Turn the power off when not in use

 Follow the maintenance guide to ensure safe operation of the scooter

 Always turn off the power if leaving the scooter unattended.

Unauthorised persons/children may use the scooter resulting in injury.

DO NOT:

 Carry passengers

 Exceed inclines over 6°

 Traverse inclines

 Attempt inclines if the surface is slippery

 Turn sharply at full speed

 Exit or enter the scooter unless the power is switched off

 Switch off the power whilst driving – this will cause the scooter to stop

abruptly

 Use the scooter where you cannot safely or legally walk

 Attempt to climb kerbs except drop down kerbs up to 1” (see page 10)

 Use the scooter if under the influence of alcohol or any medication

 Use a mobile phone whilst driving

 Attempt to negotiate stairs or escalators

 Sit on the scooter if being transported in a vehicle

 Attempt to tow any other devices

 Exceed the stated weight limit

 Connect any other devices to the batteries as this could cause

permanent damage and void your warranty

 Use any other batteries/charger other than those supplied by RMA

 Travel through water or over soft terrain (mud, sand etc.)

 Travel on the road except when crossing between pavements

 Lift the scooter by the shroud assembly or any plastic part

 Sharply shift your centre of gravity as this could make the scooter

unstable

Every care has been taken to ensure that your scooter will give you safe,

reliable service provided you adhere to the advice given above.

Adjustments

Folding the Tiller Assembly

(For transport purposes) (Fig. 1)

Loosen the hand knob at the front of

the lower tiller stem and fully fold the

tiller into the base and retighten the

knob.

Do not carry the scooter by the

tiller stem.

Seat Removal (Fig. 2)

To remove the seat, fold down the back of the

seat. Slacken the hand lever (1) and gently lift

the seat away from the rear chassis.

Always ensure that the seat is securely

locked in the forward facing direction when

driving the scooter. Do not hang baggage

or other objects on the back of the seat as

this may affect stability.

Seat Height Adjustment (Fig. 2)

Remove the seat as previously described.

Remove the locking pin (2) and set the seat to

the height required (there are two heights

available).

The higher the seat is adjusted, stability

may be affected due to the higher centre of

gravity.

Arm Adjustments (Fig. 3)

On each side of the underside of the seat towards the

back there are two hand knobs. These are to adjust

the width of the armrests or to remove then for

transport.

Turn the knobs anti-clockwise to loosen. Once the

knobs are loose you will be able to adjust the

armrests in or out to the desired width. Re-tighten

when a comfortable width has been achieved or

remove the armrests completely for transport.

If removing the armrests for transport, ensure that

the knobs are re-tightened to avoid them rattling

loose and falling out.

Do not apply full body weight to the armrests for

transferring.

Continued…..

Folding the Armrests (Fig. 3)

The armrests can be folded forwards when no in

use, or for easy transfers and storage.

Simply lift the arm up until it clears the lock and

fold it forward out of the way.

To re-locate the arm lift it upright and push down

gently for it to secure it in place.

Tiller Controls (Fig. 4)

Finger Lever Controls

The finger lever controls the reverse and forward motion of the scooter.

Pulling the right lever will drive the scooter forward, pulling the left lever will

reverse the scooter. The amount of pressure applied to the levers will

determine the speed the scooter travels up to the maximum speed selected.

More pressure = more speed. Release the finger lever and the scooter will

automatically come to a safe stop as the electromagnetic brake is applied.

Horn Button

The yellow button operates the scooters horn.

This should only be used to warn others of your presence and not as a

rebuke of any form.

Indicator

Continued…..

Battery Level Indicator Gauge

This gauge gives you a guide to the amount of charge left in the scooters

batteries. This will give the truest reading when the scooter is in motion.

Always fully charge the batteries before driving your scooter and never

let the batteries become completely drained, as this may cause

permanent damage to the batteries.

On/Off Switch

Simply flick the switch to turn on the power. The switch will illuminate red

when the power is on.

Do not switch the power off to stop the scooter unless it is an

emergency. The scooter will stop very abruptly if stopped in this way.

Speed Control Dial

The speed control enables you to set the maximum speed of the scooter. The

tortoise being slow, and the hare being the maximum.

Always start at a slow speed until accustomed with the characteristics

of your scooter. Do not put excessive pressure on the dial.

Brake Release / Freewheel Operation (Fig. 5 & 6)

The brake release lever is situated under the seat at

the right rear of the scooter (yellow lever Fig. 5). This

lever allows you to disengage the drive mechanism

and push the scooter in ‘freewheel’ mode. To

disengage the drive, pull the lever up to the

‘disengaged’ position (Fig. 6). The scooter can now

be pushed.

Simply push the lever down to re-engage the drive

mechanism (the scooter can now be driven). The

scooter will not operate when the lever is in the

disengaged position. The scooter must be turned off

and on by the key switch to reset the circuits before it

will resume normal operation. The scooter will bleep

continually if the brake is disengaged when it is

switched on.

Caution! Never leave the scooter

unattended whilst in freewheel mode as

it will roll away down an incline.

‘Freewheel’ mode should only be used

in an emergency to move the scooter

due to power failure. NEVER move the

scooter in this mode whilst it is

occupied.

Starting to Drive

Getting Started

Note: You must fully charge the batteries prior to first use (see ‘Batteries

and Charging’)

Select an area with plenty of space.

Mount the scooter by lifting the arm and sliding onto the seat.

Ensure the seat is secure before driving. DO NOT use the tiller to fully

support you during transfers.

Moving Off

Turn the key clockwise to turn on the power.

Initially set the speed control to a low setting. Pull your right finger lever

(yellow dot) and the scooter will move forward slowly. The further you pull the

lever the faster the scooter will travel, but only to the maximum speed that has

been selected. Release the lever and the scooter will come to a smooth

controlled stop.

Caution! DO NOT switch off the power to stop the scooter as this will

cause the transmission to lock and the scooter will come to a sharp

stop, which could possibly cause injury. This procedure should only be

used in an emergency.

Steering

Steering the scooter is light and easy. Ensure you give obstacles a wide

clearance to avoid the rear wheels catching. When steering through limited

spaces, turn the tiller in the direction that you wish to go and apply power

gently. The scooter can turn very tightly with complete stability at slow

speeds.

Caution! NEVER turn sharply at high speeds as it can make the scooter

unstable. The maximum speed should be set at 50%.

Reversing

Before reversing ensure the area behind the scooter is free from any

obstacles or hazards. Adjust the speed setting to low before you reverse. Pull

the left thumb lever (red dot), and steer wide of all corners and obstacles.

Caution! Do not reverse onto a main thoroughfare.

Ramps, Slopes and Kerbs

The stability of your scooter depends on several factors such as seat height,

angle of gradient and the users height and weight. When approaching an

incline or obstacle, do so directly (Fig. 7) and not at an angle (Fig. 8) and

avoid making turns where possible.
