of interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV

stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radio, and cellular phones. 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. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and try to avoid getting

close to them. Adding accessories or components or modifying the scooter may make it more

susceptible to EMI.

Speed Controls (Fig 7)

The speed control allows you to set a speed between slow (turtle) and fast (rabbit).

Battery Level Indicator Gauge (Fig 7)

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. Always charge the batteries

completely before beginning out on any journey.

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

batteries could cause irreversible battery damage.

Horn (Fig 7)

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

Thumb Lever Controls (Fig 7)

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 (Fig 7)

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 accelerates and decelerates; this allows the scooter to

TE-GK9 smoothly and come to a smooth stop.

6. DRIVE/FREEWHEEL OPERATION (FIG 8)

The drive/freewheel lever (yellow handle) is located under the seat at the left rear of unit. This

lever allows you to disengage the drive mechanism and push the scooter while in freewheel

mode. To disengage the drive mechanism (neutral), move the lever forward (the scooter can

now be pushed). To re-engage the drive mechanism (drive), move the lever backward (now

the unit may be driven).

Note: The scooter will not operate while the drive/freewheel lever is in the neutral position

(forward). The scooter must be turned off, lever moved backward (drive position) and then

turned on in order to reset the circuits.

WARNING! Always re-engage Freewheel lever after use. Failure to do so may result in injury.

Anti-tip wheels

The anti-tip wheels are located at the rear of the scooter frame (Fig 8). The scooter should not

be used unless the anti-tipping wheels are in place.

Shoprider® is not responsible for damage or injury incurred due to improper or misuse of the

scooter.

7. STARTING TO DRIVE YOUR SCOOTER

First Time Use

Prior to using your TE-GK9 Portable scooter for the ﬁrst time, you must charge the batteries

fully (refer to Battery Charging Procedures). Charging may take up to 12 hours. Charging the

batteries completely prior to ﬁrst time use will beneﬁt battery efﬁciency. Failure to do so may

cause permanent damage.

Getting Started

• Select a level area with plenty of space.

• Mount the scooter by pushing the arm upward out of the way and sliding onto the seat

or swivel the seat around to mount. Use the arm rest for support if necessary.

• Adjust the tiller and seat as previously described.

Starting Scooter Movement

• Ensure that you are seated in a comfortable position.

• Turn the key to the on position.

• Your speed setting should be on or near the turtle (slow).

• Push your right thumb lever (yellow) and the scooter will move forward slowly. The harder

you push, the faster the scooter goes but will only reach the speed level that has been

selected.

• Release the lever and the scooter will slowly come to a stop as the magnetic brake

automatically engages.

Steering

Steering the scooter is light and easy. When Starting off ensure that you give a wide clearance

when turning so that the rear wheels clear any obstacle that you are passing.

When steering through limited spaces such as a doorway or when turning around, turn the

tiller handles where you want to go and apply power gently. The scooter will turn very tightly,

but will still move with complete stability as long as the speed is not too high.

Reversing

Before reversing ensure that the area behind is free from any hazards or obstructions. Adjust

your speed setting to a low setting before you move in reverse. Push your left thumb lever

(black), and steer wide of all corners and obstacles.

Dismounting

Before dismounting ensure that the key is turned to the off position.

Dismount the scooter by pushing the arm upward out of the way and sliding off the seat or

swivel the seat around to dismount. Use the arm rest for support if necessary.

CAUTION: Please ensure that care is exercised when mounting or dismounting the scooter and

that the tiller and foot rest is not used for support.

Shoprider Scooters User Guide 7

8. EXTRA GUIDELINES IN THE CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER

Ramps

The stability of your scooter is governed by several factors such as the seating position, the

angle of the slope and your height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so directly

and not at an angle and where ever possible avoid making turns. When going down a ramp

or slope keep the speed settings to slow. This will ensure there is a safe controlled descent.

When the thumb levers are released the scooter will slowly stop.

Safe Climbing Angle

Always follow the guidelines of the safe climbing angle as shown in ﬁgure 9.

Caution - Do not turn off the control key while the unit is in motion

Grass and Gravel

Please follow the guidelines given previously and your scooter will perform admirably over

many surfaces. Avoid long grass, loose gravel and sand.

NOTE: You should not operate your scooter in wet weather or on wet surfaces. This may cause

the motor to short out or cause other irreversible damage.

NOTE: To preserve battery charge, your scooter may go into sleep mode after being idle for a

few minutes.To remove from sleep mode, turn the key off and back on again.

9. BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGING

The Shoprider® TE-GK9 Portable scooter is supplied with maintenance-free, sealed lead acid

batteries. For easy handling, the batteries are contained within a battery pack. Battery life and

performance may be affected by temperature, terrain, condition of battery, the weight of the

user, care of batteries, and other conditions. The battery needle gauge is only a guide and is

most effective when the scooter is moving, only then is the true discharge level displayed.

• When the scooter stops the battery needle gauge may indicate full.

• An active user can use up to 30% of battery capacity or more per day.

• Inactive users may only use 50% of battery capacity in a week.

• In both these instances the battery should be put on charge over night.

**Keeping the batteries charged at all times will extend the life of the batteries**

Battery Charger

The battery charger is a 3-amp transformer type off board. The TE-GK9 Portable scooter has

12º - 70kg

9º - 91kg

6º - 113kg

0º - 136kg

Fig. 9

8Shoprider Scooters User Guide

a built in charger port on the rear side of the battery pack. This special feature allows the

batteries within the battery pack to be charged without the scooter.

First Time Use

Prior to using your TE-GK9 Portable scooter for the ﬁrst time, you must charge the batteries

fully (refer to Battery Charging Procedures). Charging may take up to 12 hours. Charging the

batteries completely prior to ﬁrst time use will beneﬁt battery efﬁciency. Failure to do so may

cause damage.

Charging

To charge the batteries connect the 3-pin male plug lead into the 3-pin female battery

charging socket located on the battery pack. Plug the A/C cord plug into the wall socket

and the other end into the charger (2-pin). The battery charger has two indicator lights. The

red light shows the batteries are charging. When the light turns green while connected to

the charging port the batteries are fully charged. Once the batteries are completely charged,

unplug the A/C cord from the wall then unplug the 3-pin lead from the battery pack. Remove

charger once charging cycle is ﬁnished.

WARNING: Only use the original Shoprider approved charger!

This charger is for indoor use only. DO NOT expose it to rain or water spray.

Do not leave the charger plugged into the charger port if the charger is not charging.
