II. SAFETY
Please exercise caution and consideration when you are operating your scooter. Driving your scooter carefully and
thoughtfully will help ensure your personal safety and the safety of other people.
NOTE: Before learning to operate your scooter, have your authorised 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.
BEFORE GETTING ON YOUR SCOOTER
•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 scooter’s freewheel lever is in the engaged position. See section V. “Operation in this
manual.
•Flip up the armrests.
WARNING When getting on or off your scooter, 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 SCOOTER
•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 SCOOTER
•Make certain that the power is turned off and the key is removed.
•Return tiller to full upright position
•Flip up the armrests.
•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 scooter has been rated to a maximum payload (operator and anything else being carried onboard) of 160 kg on flat
ground. Exceeding the maximum weight rating will void the warranty. See www.scootersaus.com.au for more
information on carrying capacity and hill slope (see Q & A).
WARNING Exceeding the maximum weight rating may result in injury to yourself and/or others.
DRIVING ON INCLINES
•For maximum stability, lean forward in your scooter’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 access ramps.
•Always climb or descend an incline by driving straight up or straight down the face of the slope. See figure 2.

Monarch Volta Owner’s Manual. © Scooters Australia 2016
6
•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, salt, cut or wet grass, leaves, or any other
potentially hazardous material.
•Do not drive your scooter in reverse 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, always leaning forward.
•Do not try to descend or climb a slope whose gradient is greater than recommended.
*scooter maximum recommended incline is 6°.
Figure 2. Going Up an Incline Figure 3. Traversing an Incline
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.
WARNING: Scooters Australia 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.
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 switch 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 scooter. Also check with your physician concerning your physical ability to operate a
scooter.
WARNING Do not connect or allow anyone except an authorised dealer to connect any electrical or
mechanical device to your scooter. Unauthorised accessories will void the warranty and may cause injury.

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 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 US 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
•Do not turn on or use hand-held personal electronic communication devices such as cellular phones,
walkies-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.
•Report all incidents of unintended movement or park brake failure to your local dealer or ring 1300 622 633
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.

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 negotiate 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,
always leaning forward. Accelerate gently after stopping on any incline.

Monarch Volta Owner’s Manual. © Scooters Australia 2016

mechanical lift or hoist. Contact your dealer for more information concerning docking devices and scooter lift devices.
Alternatively, ramps are available for driving your scooter remotely into a vehicle.
To Transport Your scooter:
•Disassemble or fold down the seat and tiller (see section VII. “Disassembly”) as close as possible to the
loading area of the vehicle to be used for transporting your scooter.
•The degree to which you disassemble your scooter or fold the seat and tiller depends on the size and shape of
the cargo area of the transporting vehicle.
•Do not lift your scooter by its plastic body parts or dash. Breakage of these parts is not covered by the
warranty.
•Do not use the tyres or wheels to lift the rear carriage. The carriage may rotate and cause injury or damage.
•Moving blankets or other forms of padding may be used to protect your scooter during transportation.
WARNING If your scooter and its components are not properly and securely stowed during transportation, the
scooter or the components may move or become airborne and cause injury or damage.
WARNING Never sit on your scooter when it is being transported. Secure with an approved tie-down system.
