Instruction Booklet5-Series
Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters 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 motorized
scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also
permanently damage the motorized scooter control system. The intensity of the interfering
EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each motorized scooter can resist
EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called its "immunity level." The higher the immunity
level, the greater the protection will be. 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 motorized scooter model
is 10 v/m.
There are a number of 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.
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.
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.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
AND WARNINGS
3
CAUTION: It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible
effects of Electromagnetic Interference on your motorized scooter.
Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while
they are ON, even when not being used.
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types：

Instruction Booklet5-Series
4
3.Long-range transmitters and transceivers such as commercial broadcast transmitters
(radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves 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 motorized scooter control system while using these devices. This can affect
motorized scooter movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are
recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the motorized
scooter.
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 motorized
scooter.
Motorized Scooter Electromagnetic Interference：
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur
radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect motorized
scooters. Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended
brake release or motorized 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 motorized 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 motorized scooter OFF as
soon as it is safe;
Warnings：

Instruction Booklet5-Series
5
4.Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the motorized scooter,
may make it more susceptible to EMI; and.
5.Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the distributor listed
on the inside front cover of this manual. Note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.
1.20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against
EMI (as of May 1994). The higher the level, the greater the protection.
2.The immunity level of this product is at least 20/Vm.
There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity
of the motorized scooter.

This scooter has an automatic braking system. Release the thumb
control and the brakes will engage.
You can make the following adjustments to increase your comfort when driving：
Before beginning your journey with your new scooter, make sure that the scooter is on
alevel surface and clear of any obstacles. Although your scooter is able to climb slopes
it is safer to practice on a leveled surface.
•adjust the seat height and location.
•adjust the armrest width.
•adjust the tiller to a comfortable position.
1.Before operating your scooter, check the following:
•the free-wheeling lever is engaged.
•the speed dial is at the picture of the turtle.
2.Sit on the scooter and turn on the key. All battery gauge LED lights should be lit.
The Self-Diagnostic Warning Light should not be blinking.
3.When your hands rest comfortably on the handle bar, the thumb control levers should
be within reach. The right lever moves the scooter forward; the left one moves it in
reverse. When you release the thumb lever, the scooter will stop.
4.Steer the scooter by turning the whole tiller in the direction you want to go.
5.Practice driving where there are no obstacles. Start at the slowest speed and drive
forward and backward; make some turns. As you get more comfortable you can
increase the speed by turning the speed dial toward the picture of the rabbit.
6.If only two-battery gauge LED lights are lit, you should plan to recharge the batteries
very soon.
7.If the scooter stops and does not function, locate the circuit breaker (M) in the storage
area. Push it and try the scooter again.
8.When you are finished riding, turn off the key before getting off.
9.If you are finished riding for the day, immediately
recharge the batteries.

Keep in mind these rules：
Other Operating Information：
•Release the thumb levers and allow the scooter to stop completely before changing
from forward to reverse, or reverse to forward.
•When turning a corner, swing the front wheels wide, because the back wheels will
turn more tightly.
•Use the scooter only where it would be safe to walk.
•Use low speeds for reverse, downhill, ramps, curbs, or uneven surfaces.
As a safety feature, an automatic speed reducer engages if the scooter
is pushed quickly when the Free-Wheeling Lever is disengaged. This
standard feature is specifically created for down slopes.
When driving, proceed straight forward slowly pass through the gap.
Hill Climbing:You may need to use a higher speed going up on slopes. For a higher
speed, set the speed control knob in the proximity of the rabbit.
Down Slopes:To proceed down steep slopes slowly, set the speed control in the
proximity of the turtle. This enables driver control, as the closer the
speed control is set toward the turtle, the slower the scooter will travel.
However, this scooter will not self accelerate down hills due to the
automatic braking taking effect should you attempt to drive too fast.
Curb Climbing:
Approach slowly at right angles to the curb. A slight angle is permissible
with a 4-wheel scooter. Do not attempt curb climbing greater than a
50mm curb. If the Self-Diagnostic Warning Lights start to blink, identify
the problem from the chart on page 18 and take action.
Vertical limit approach approximately : 5cm
Acceptable gap width approximately : 22cm
If the scooter breaks down and must be moved, get off the scooter, pull the free-wheeling
lever, move the scooter slowly to a safe location, and push the free-wheeling lever
back downward to engage.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Taking care of your scooter will keep it in top-notch condition. It is recommended that
you have your dealer to provide preventative maintenance service of your scooter on a
regularly basis. Here are a few maintenance guidelines:
BODY COVER: If your scooter is dirty, use a damp or lightly soapy cloth to wipe it down.
Do not use running water to wash or rinse the scooter in order to protect
the electrical parts. Polish with an automotive liquid polish.
SEAT AND ARMREST: Using a damp cloth helps clean the upholstery. Please note that
using the scooter outdoors can lead to sun damage of the
upholstery material. Since this is a normal wear and tear condition,
it is not covered under the warranty.
An authorized dealer should do all maintenance and repair of your scooter that relates
to electronics, batteries, motor parts, and tires.
Also between uses, your scooter is best stored in a dry location at room temperature.
