II. SAFETY
Your Golden LiteRider Mini™ is a battery-operated personal mobility vehicle. Please
exercise caution and consideration when you are operating it. Driving your LiteRider Mini
carefully and thoughtfully will help ensure your personal safety and the safety of other
people.
Before learning to operate your LiteRider Mini, have your authorized
Golden Technologies, Inc. dealer determine if it is advisable for you to practice getting on
and off your scooter and operating it in the presence of an attendant.
MANDATORY! Read completely and understand this owner’s manual before
assembling, operating, transporting, or disassembling your LiteRider Mini scooter.
BEFORE GETTING ON YOUR LITERIDER MINI
• Check to be certain that the power is turned off. See section V. "Operation" in this
manual. This will eliminate the possibility of accidentally activating the paddle controls
and causing injury to yourself and/or others.
• Check to be certain that your LiteRider Mini’s freewheel lever is in the engaged position.
See section V. “Operation” in this manual.
• Flip up the armrest(s).
When getting on or off your LiteRider Mini, keep your weight toward the
middle of the deck. Putting most or all of your weight on the edge of the deck may cause
an unstable condition.
GETTING ON YOUR LITERIDER MINI
• Position the seat for safe and easy mounting. Ensure that the seat is facing forward.
See section V. "Operation."
• Return tiller to full upright position if necessary.
• Carefully place one foot on the approximate center of the deck and seat yourself
comfortably and securely on the seat.
• Flip down the armrest(s).
GETTING OFF YOUR LITERIDER MINI
• Make certain that the power is turned off and the key is removed.
• Return tiller to full upright position
• Flip up the armrest(s).
• Carefully place one foot on the ground, transfer your weight to that leg, and slowly
come to a standing position.
• Step away from the scooter.
MAXIMUM WEIGHT
Your LiteRider Mini has been rated to a maximum payload (operator and anything else
being carried on the scooter) of 250 pounds. Exceeding the maximum weight rating will
void the warranty.
Exceeding the maximum weight rating may result in injury to yourself
and/or others.


9
II. SAFETY
DRIVING ON INCLINES
• For maximum stability, lean forward in your LiteRider Mini’s seat while proceeding up
ramps, inclines, curbs, or any low rise. See figure 2.
• Drive with caution when attempting to negotiate any incline, even handicap access
ramps.
• Always climb or descend an incline by driving straight up or straight down the face of
the slope. See figure 2.
• Do not traverse or drive across the face of an incline in any direction. See figure 3.
• Do not attempt to negotiate 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 LiteRider Mini 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.
* LiteRider Mini maximum recommend incline is 6°.

Figure 2. Going Up an Incline Figure 3. Traversing an Incline
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 LiteRider Mini 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.
Golden Technologies, Inc. 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.


10
II. SAFETY
When using either of the following procedures to back down a slope,
Golden Technologies, Inc. strongly advises that you have the assistance of another
person.
Procedure 1 - Under Power
1. Set the key switch to the “Off” position. See section V. “Operation.”
2. Turn the speed control dial fully counterclockwise to its slowest setting.
3. Dismount your LiteRider Mini.
4. Set the key switch to the “On” position. See section V. “Operation.”
5. While standing alongside your scooter, carefully operate the controls at the lowest
speed setting. See section V. “Operation.”
6. Slowly and carefully back your scooter down the incline.
7. Carefully remount your LiteRider Mini and resume normal operation.
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.
Procedure 2 - Emergency (No Power)
1. Set the key switch to the “Off” position. See section V. “Operation.”
2. Dismount your LiteRider Mini.
3. Set the freewheel lever to “Disengaged.”
4. While standing alongside the scooter, carefully manually maneuver it down the slope.
5. When you have reached a level surface at the bottom of the slope, position the
freewheel lever in the engaged position. See section V. “Operation.”
6. Carefully remount your LiteRider Mini, and set the key switch to the “On” position to
restore power.
Motor Braking System
Your scooter is equipped with a system that uses the motor to aid in braking. This motor
brake system is designed to work when the key is in either the on position or the off
position.
When the key is in the on position, the freewheel is in the engaged position, and the
scooter is under power, the motor will help slow down the scooter as soon as you take
your hand off of the throttle lever.
When the key switch is in the off position and the freewheel is in the disengaged position,
the motor brake system will keep you from pushing the scooter too fast (i.e. down a
slope).
You may notice this when pushing the scooter. The scooter will move freely until you
reach a certain speed. You will then encounter some resistance as the motor brake
system is activated.


11
II. SAFETY
MEDICATION
Always check with your physician to determine if any of the medications you are taking
may affect your judgment and/or your ability to operate your LiteRider Mini. Also check
with your physician concerning your physical ability to operate a scooter.
Do not connect or allow anyone except an authorized Golden
Technologies, Inc. dealer to connect any electrical or mechanical device to your LiteRider
Mini. Unauthorized accessories will void the warranty and may cause injury.
Please remember that while on your Golden LiteRider Mini, you are a
motorized pedestrian. You must observe and obey all pedestrian rules and regulations for
the locale in which you are riding.
Please use your Golden LiteRider Mini™ scooter often and allow it to expand the horizons
of your daily life. The more mobility your Golden LiteRider Mini brings to you, the
happier you will be, and the more satisfied we at Golden Technologies, Inc. will be! But
as with all things, especially motor operated vehicles, observing a few rules and safety
considerations will help ensure safe scooter operation. So please follow the rules below.
RULES FOR USE AND OTHER SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Read completely and understand this owner's manual before assembling,

12
II. SAFETY

RULES FOR USE AND OTHER SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS – continued
• Always use caution when driving on soft or uneven surfaces such as grass or gravel.
Also use caution on decks where there is no railing.
• Never drive on the roadway, except when you must cross the street.
• Always cross streets at intersections and use crosswalks or the most direct route,

• Never drive your LiteRider Mini up or down a step or curb that is higher than the
ground clearance on the spec page.
• Never back up or down a step or curb.
• Do not drive your LiteRider Mini in icy or salted conditions.
• Never operate your LiteRider Mini while you are under the influence of alcohol.
• Do not or store your LiteRider Mini where it will be exposed to rain, snow, mist, and

purchased your mobility device for evaluation of the problem and repair if needed.


13
III. 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) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
EMI/RFI AND YOUR LITERIDER MINI
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 Golden LiteRider Mini.
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 level 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 level of 20 V/m.
EMI/RFI RECOMMENDATIONS
PROHIBITED!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 LiteRider Mini 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.
• Report all incidents of unintended movement or park brake failure to Golden
Technologies, Inc. Technical Service at [phone].
Turn off your scooter as soon as it is safely possible if unintended or
uncontrollable motion occurs or if unintended park brake release occurs.
