For maximum stability, lean forward in your seat while proceeding up ramps, slopes,
curbs, or any low rise.
Drive with caution when attempting to negotiate any incline, even handicap access ramps.
Always climb or descend a gradient by driving straight up or straight down the face of the
slope.
Do not traverse or drive across the face of a gradient.
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 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. See
“Specifications” section.
GOING UP AN INCLINE TRAVERSING AN INCLINE
* Maximum recommended incline is 8.0°
WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN A SLOPE, YOUR SCOOTER STARTS TO
MOVE FASTER THAN YOU FEEL IS SAFE, RELEASE THE THUMB LEVER AND ALLOW
YOUR TO COME TO A STOP. WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU AGAIN HAVE
CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER, PUSH THE THUMB LEVER FORWARD AND CONTINUE
SAFELY DOWN THE REMAINDER OF THE SLOPE.
DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE
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.


10
II. SAFETY
If it is necessary to back down a slope follow one of two procedures.
When using either of the following procedures to back down a slope, Golden
Technologies strongly advises that you have the assistance of another person.
Procedure 1 – Under Power
1. Set the key switch to the “Off” Position. See “Operation” section.
2. Dismount your Avenger 
3. Set the key switch to the “On” position. See “Operation” section.
4. While standing alongside your scooter, carefully operate the controls at the lowest speed
setting. See “Operations” section.
5. Slowly and carefully back your scooter down the incline.
6. When you have reached a level surface at the bottom of the slope, position the free-wheel lever
in the engaged position. Carefully remount your and resume normal operation.
Procedure 2 – Emergency (No Power)
1. Set the key switch to the “Off” position. See “Operation” section.
2. Dismount your Avenger .
3. Put your scooter in the freewheel mode. See “Disassembly” section.
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 free-wheel lever
in the engaged position. See “Disassembly” section.
6. Carefully remount your and resume normal operation.
WHEN YOUR SCOOTER IS IN FREEWHEEL MODE, THE 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.
Motor Braking S s
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.
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 Avenger . Also check with your physician
concerning your physical ability to operate a scooter.
DO NOT CONNECT OR ALLOW ANYONE EXCEPT AN AUTHORIZED GOLDEN
TECHNOLOGIES REPRESENTATIVE TO CONNECT ANY ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL DEVICE TO
YOUR AVENGER. UNAUTHORIZED ACCESSORIES WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND MAY CAUSE
INJURY.


11
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 (AM radios), wireless computers
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 AVENGER 
All electrically powered vehicles, including scooters are susceptible to EMI / RFI. This
interference could result in abnormal, or unintended movement of your Golden Avenger .
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. The resistance level of the Golden
is not known.
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 operation your of scooter close to any of those
transmitters.
Turn off the power if your 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 brake release occurs, turn your scooter off as soon
as it is safe to do so.
Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake failure to your 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 BRAKE
RELEASE OCCURS.
