4.6 Control through tight spots
As you use your scooter to greatly increase your mobility, you will undoubtedly
encounter some obstacles that will require practice to manoeuvre smoothly and
safely. Below are some common obstacles that you may meet during the daily use of
your scooter. Listed with those obstacles are some driving tips that should help you
conquer those obstacles. Learn and follow those tips, and with surprising ease you
will soon be in control of your scooter as you manoeuvre it through doors, up and
down ramps, up and over curbs, through grass and gravel, and up and down inclines.
Ramps
When proceeding up any ramp, curb, or incline:
Lean forward in your seat to move your centre of gravity forward for maximum
stability and safety.
If the ramp has a switchback, good cornering ability is required:
Manoeuvre your scooter so that the front wheels take wide swings around the
corners of the ramp.
Doing this will allow your scooter's back wheels to follow a wide arc around the
corner, staying clear of obstacles.
If you must stop your scooter while driving up a ramp:
Starting up again simply requires that you apply gentle and steady forward
power pressure to the throttle control lever.
Accelerate gently after stopping on any incline.
Driving down a ramp
Keep your scooter’s speed control dial set fully counter clockwise at the slowest
speed setting.
If you must come to a stop, release the throttle control lever slowly and
smoothly.
Curbs
Do not go up or down a curb that is higher than 4 cm;
Always use caution when descending any curb;
Approach the curb so that both back wheels of your scooter go over the curb at
the same time;
Never go down on curbs by traversing them. Doing this will cause the scooter to
tip over;
Go down a curb slowly to avoid a jarring bump. Use as little power as possible.

Grass and Gravel
Your scooter performs admirably on grass, gravel, and hills, but you must follow the
operational parameters presented in this manual, see chapter 3. If you are unsure
about any situation, avoid it.
Feel free to use your scooter on lawns or in park areas;
Avoid long or high grass, which may wrap around your scooter's axles;
Avoid loose gravel.
4.7 Going up an incline / down a decline
Driving on inclines
For maximum stability, lean forward in your scooters seat while
proceeding up ramps, inclines, curbs, or any low rise;
Drive with caution when attempting to drive up to any incline, even handicap
access ramps;
Always climb or descend an incline by driving straight up or straight down
the face of the slope;
Do not traverse or drive across the face of an incline in any direction;
Do not attempt to descend an incline that is covered with snow, ice, cut or
wet grass, leaves, or any other potentially hazardous material;
Do not back down an incline;
Try to keep your scooter moving when climbing an incline. If you do
come to a stop, restart and accelerate slowly and carefully;
Do not try to descend or climb a slope whose gradient is greater than
recommended. The recommended incline is 8°.
 Warning:
If, while you are driving down a slope, your scooter starts to move faster than
you feel is safe, release the throttle control lever and allow your scooter to
come to a stop. When you feel that you again have control of your scooter, push
the throttle control lever forward and continue safely down the remainder of
the slope.

Driving down a decline
Lower speed setting
Whenever it is safely possible, drive forward down any ramp, low rise, or
incline.
Caremart does not recommend that you drive your scooter in reverse down any
incline, ramp, curb, or low rise. Backing down any slope may create a very hazardous
situation.
If it is necessary to back down a slope follow one of two procedures.
 Tip
When using either of the following procedures to back down a slope, Caremart
strongly advises that you have the assistance of another person.
Procedure 1: Under power
Set the key switch to the “Off position”;
Dismount your scooter;
Set the key switch to the “On position”;
While standing next to your scooter, carefully operate the controls at the lowest
speed setting;
Slowly and carefully back your scooter down the incline;
Carefully remount your scooter and resume normal operation.
Procedure 2: Emergency (No power)
Set the key switch to the “Off position”;
Dismount your scooter;
Set the freewheel lever to “Disengaged”;
While standing next to the scooter, carefully manually maneuver it down the
slope;
When you have reached a level surface at the bottom of the slope, position the
freewheel lever in the engaged position;
See chapter 7 to restore power.
 Warning:
When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the park brake is released. The
weight of the scooter on a slope may cause you to lose control of the scooter.
If you do not feel capable of manually controlling your scooter down the slope,
request assistance or do not attempt to use this procedure.

4.8 EMI / RFI
The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has
saturated our environment with electromagnetic (radio) waves that are emitted by
television transmitters, cellular phones, citizen’s band radios (CBs), amateur radios
(ham radios), wireless computer links, microwave transmitters, paging transmitters,
etc. These electromagnetic (EM) waves are invisible and increase in strength the
closer one gets to the source of transmission. When these energy waves act upon
electrical devices and cause them to malfunction or to function in an erratic or
uncontrolled manner, they are referred to as Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) of
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
EMI / RFI and your scooter
All electrically powered vehicles, including scooters are susceptible to
Electromagnetic Interference / Radio Frequency Interference (EMI / RFI). This
interference could result in abnormal, unintended movement of your scooter.
 Warning:
Unintended movement or brake release could cause an accident or injury.
The FDA has determined that each make and model of scooter can resist EMI/ RFI to
a certain level. The higher the lever of resistance, the greater the degree of
protection from EMI/ RFI –measured in volts per meter (V/m). The FDA has also
determined that current technology is capable of providing 20 V/m of resistance to
EMI/ RFI, which would provide useful protection against common sources of
interference. This product has been tested and has passed an immunity lever of 20
V/m.

EMI / RFI recommendations
Do not turn on or use hand-held personal electronic communication devices
such as cellular phones, walkie-talkies, and CB radios while your scooter is
turned on;
Be aware of any nearby transmitters (radio, television, microwave, etc.) on
your intended route and avoid operating your scooter close to any of those
transmitters;
Turn off the power if your scooter is going to be in a stationary position for any
length of time;
Be aware that adding accessories or components or modifying your scooter may
make it more susceptible to EMI/ RFI;
If unintended movement or park brake release occurs, turn your scooter off as
soon as it is safe to do so.
 Warning:
Turn off your scooter as soon as it is safely possible if unintended or
uncontrollable motion occurs or if unintended park brake release occurs.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO YOUR SCOOTER CAN CAUSE BIG RISKS FOR YOUR
SAFETY AND THE FUNCTION OF YOUR SCOOTER. ADJUSTMENTS MADE BY
YOURSELF ARE STRONGLY ADVISED AGAINST AND CARRIED OUT AT YOUR OWN
RISK.
