•DO NOT drive the scooter where you can not safely or legally walk .

•DO NOT drive the scooter on the road, street or highway.

•DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs greater than 2 inches in height. Doing so could

occur.

•DO NOT drive the scooter on an incline that has oil, water or ice film on it.

•DO NOT try to lift the scooter by its seat, tiller, or any removable parts. Any of these

could cause injury to the user or damage to the scooter.

•DO NOT use parts or accessories that are not authorized by Shoprider®.

•Before sitting in or exiting the scooter, REMOVE the key from the ignition. This wi ll

insure the POWER is off and the scooter can not move under its own power.

•As a general precaution, always remove the key from the ignition while the scooter is

not in use. This will prevent use by untrained and unauthorized persons.

•DO NOT connect any medical device to the scooter battery. This could cause failure

of the device, the scooter and personal injury.

•Make sure the tiller is properly adjusted to the user or damage and injury could result.

EMI WARNING

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. It can also permanently

damage the scooter’s control system.

The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:

1. Hand-held portable transce ivers (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 polic e cars, fire trucks,

ambulances, and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of

the vehicle.

3. Long-range transmitters and transceiv ers, 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 problems to the scooter.

Scooter Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the

transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio sources (transceivers)

are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy

very close to the scooter’s control system while using these devices. This can affect

scooter movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are

recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the scooter.

WARNINGS

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 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 scooter OFF as soon as it

is safe.

4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the scooter may

make it more susceptible to EMI.

NOTE! There is no easy way to evaluate the overall immunity of the scooter.

5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or braking to your Shoprider® provider,

and note whether there are sources of EMI nearby.

WARNING! Shoprider® is not responsible for damage or injury incurred due to

improper and unsafe use of our scooter.

SCOOTER TILLER CONTROLS (FIG 7)

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 left in your batteries. The amount of

charge will only show at its true level when the scooter is in drive.

Caution – Do not allow the gauge needle to go down completely as complete

discharge of the batteries could cause irreversible damage.

Horn

A yellow button on top of the tiller operates the horn.

Thumb Lever Controls

The left thumb lever controls the reverse and the right thumb lever controls the forward

motion. The amount of pressure applied to each lever will determine the speed the scooter

travels at up to the speed selected. Release the thumb lever and the scooter will

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

On/Off Key Switch

Insert the key into the key switch located on top of the tiller. Turn the key and the battery

gauge needle will move. There may be a slight delay before the thumb lever control can be

operated, while the main controller checks the circuits.

Electromagnetic Brake

The brake is automatically operated when the thumb control levers are pressed or

released. There is a slight delay when the scooter decelerates; this allows the scooter to

come to a smooth stop.
