Your mobility scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase
mobility. Zip’r Mobility provides an extensive array of products to best fit the individual needs of
users. Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of
mobility scooter to be used is the responsibility of the mobility scooter user who is capable of
making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical
therapist, etc.)
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has
properly fitted the mobility scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare
professional and/or the authorized provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.
There may be certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the mobility scooter
user will need to practice operating the mobility scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A
trained attendant can be defined as a family member or care professional specially trained in
assisting a mobility scooter user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your mobility scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter
situations in which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in
full and confident control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off elevators, up and
down ramps.
Provided below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you
become accustomed to operating the mobility scooter safely.
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK:
Get to know the feel of your mobility scooter and its capabilities. We recommend that you
perform a safety check before each use to make sure your mobility scooter operates smoothly
and safely.
Perform the following inspections prior to using your mobility scooter:
• Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly.
• Check the battery level indicator to ensure the batteries are fully charged.
• Check the brakes to ensure they operate properly.
• Check the condition of the tires. Make sure they are not damaged or excessively worn.
• Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
• Ensure the manual freewheel lever is in drive mode before sitting on the mobility
scooter.
• Charge your mobility scooter for 6-8 hours prior to using it for the first time.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized provider for assistance. Please refer to the
Contact Information.
Your Mobility Scooter
The Zip’r Traveler series mobility scooter consists of the following major components listed in
the diagram below.
Tiller Console:
The tiller console houses all controls needed to drive your mobility scooter, including the key
switch, throttle control lever, horn button, speed adjustment dial, headlight switch, battery level
indicator and troubleshooting LED indicator.
PROHIBITED! Do not expose the tiller console to moisture. In the event that the tiller
console does become exposed to moisture, do not attempt to operate your mobility
scooter until the tiller console has dried thoroughly.

Although the key can be left in the key switch when the mobility scooter is turned off, we highly

Rear Components

located on your mobility scooter as shown.
Motor/Transaxle Assembly
The motor/transaxle assembly is an electromechanical unit that converts electrical energy from
your mobility scooter’s batteries into the mechanical energy that propels the mobility scooter
forward and backward.
Manual Freewheel Lever
If you need or want to push your mobility scooter manually, you can put it in freewheel mode.
1. Locate the manual freewheel lever (see the diagram above).
2. Push forward on the manual freewheel lever to disable the drive and brake systems. You may
now push your mobility scooter.
3. Push the manual freewheel lever backwards to re-engage the drive and brake systems; this
takes your mobility scooter out of freewheel mode.
WARNING! When your mobility scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is
disengaged.
• Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.
• Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.
• Stand to the side of the scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on a
scooter to do this.
• After you have finished pushing your mobility scooter, always return it to the drive mode
to lock the brakes.
To Engage or Disengage the Drive System

2. Pull the two levers toward the rear of the mobility scooter to engage the drive motors (drive
mode).
3. Push the two levers toward the front of the mobility scooter to disengage the drive motors
(freewheel mode).
WARNING! Do not use the freewheel lever as a tie-down point to secure this product.
Anti-Tip Wheels
The anti-tip wheels are an integral and important safety feature of your mobility scooter. They
are bolted to the frame at the rear of the mobility scooter.
PROHIBITED! Do not remove the anti-tip wheels or modify your mobility scooter in any
way.
WARNING! The anti-tip wheels may cause interference with the smooth transition of
your mobility scooter when ascending or descending a curb.
Battery Pack
Your mobility scooter is equipped with an innovative, easy-to-remove battery pack. A handle on
the top of the battery pack makes it easy to lift the pack off of the mobility scooter. The battery
pack contains two rechargeable batteries, and the main circuit breaker (reset button).
Assembly & Disassembly
The following are the steps required to assemble your Zip’r mobility scooter. Disassembly can
be achieved by following all of the steps in the reverse order.

Figure 2. To begin assembly, tilt the rear frame back so it is freely
standing on the rear bumper. Lift the front frame up and set it down
onto the rear frame by connecting the front frame curved locking
brackets (one on each side) onto the rear frame bracket pegs (one
on each side).
Figure 3. After the steps in Figure 2 have been completed, the
mobility scooter should be in this position.

together during assembly and disassembly, in order to release the
rear frame from the front frame.
Figure 5. Holding the seat post, slowly push the rear frame forward
with a downward motion until the latch in Figure 4. locks onto the
front frame locking peg.
Figure 6. Loosen tiller adjustment knob, raise the tiller to the
desired angle, and retighten the tiller adjustment knob. Unlock the
tiller lock located at the bottom front of the scooter tiller by pushing
and turning the knob. ( WARNING! The mobility scooter will not
turn if the lock is not released. The tiller lock should only be locked
during transportation).

Lightly press down on the front and rear of the battery box to ensure
that the front and rear connections have fully engaged.
Figure 8. Insert the chrome seat post extension into the seat post.
Insert the seat post pin in at the desired height.

extension, rotating it until it locks into position facing towards the
