2. SAFETY
Your Monarch ZENER scooter is a battery-operated personal mobility vehicle. Please exercise
caution and consideration when you are operating it. 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 4. “Operation” in this manual.
This will eliminate the possibility of accidentally activating the throttle controls and causing
injury to yourself or to others.
•Check to be certain that your scooter’s freewheel handle is in the engaged position. See
section 6 “Disassembly” in this manual.
•Swivel the seat.
WARNING: When getting on or off your scooter, keep your weight toward the middle of the foot
platform. Putting most or all of your weight on the edge of the platform may cause an unstable
condition.
GETTING ON YOUR SCOOTER
•Position the seat for safe and easy mounting. See section 4. “Operation.”
•Return tiller to full upright position
•Carefully place one foot on the approximate center of the deck and seat yourself
comfortably and securely on the seat, and lock the seat in the forward position.
•Fasten the seat belt, if your scooter is so equipped.
•Flip down or replace the armrests if they are in the incorrect position.
GETTING OFF YOUR SCOOTER
•Make certain that the power is turned off and the key is removed.
•Return tiller to full upright position
•Rotate the seat or flip up or remove the armrests.
•Unfasten the seat belt.
•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 on
the scooter) of 160 kg. Exceeding the maximum weight rating will void the warranty.
WARNING: Exceeding the maximum weight rating may result in injury to yourself and to 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 Fig. 1.
•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.
•Do not traverse or drive across the face of an incline in any direction. See Fig. 2.
•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 scooter moving when climbing an incline. If you do come to a stop, restart
and accelerate slowly and carefully, leaning forward.
•Do not try to descend or climb a slope whose gradient is greater than recommended.*

Monarch Zener Owner’s Manual v2. © Scooters Australia 2017. 6
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 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: We do 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 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. 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.
WARNING: 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.
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.
MEDICATION
Always check with your doctor to determine if any of the medications you are taking may affect
your judgement and/or your ability to operate your scooter. Also check with your doctor
concerning your physical ability to operate a scooter.
ROAD RULES
NOTE: Please remember that while on your scooter, you are a motorised pedestrian. You must
observe and obey all pedestrian rules and regulations for the locale in which you are riding.

3. ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE / 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 US 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 at 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, 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 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 authorised dealer.
WARNING: Turn off your scooter as soon as it is safely possible if unintended or uncontrollable
motion occurs or if unintended brake release occurs.

1. With both hands on the handgrips of the tiller, turn the tiller to the right to travel to the right.
2. With both hands on the handgrips of the tiller, turn the tiller to the left to travel to the left.
3. Make certain to maintain sufficient clearance when turning your scooter so that the rear
wheels will clear any obstacle.
NOTE: Turning your scooter too sharply at too high a speed may create a situation where one of
the rear wheels will leave the ground and the possibility of tipping the scooter. Avoid this danger at
all times by decelerating and steering a wide arc around corners and obstacles.
Steering in a Tight Spot
If you must steer in a tight spot, such as entering a doorway or when turning around:
1. Bring your scooter to a full stop.
2. Set speed at the lowest setting.
3. Turn the tiller to the direction in which you wish to drive.
Steering in Reverse
Backing up your scooter requires attention to what you are doing:

Monarch Zener Owner’s Manual v2. © Scooters Australia 2017. 14
1. Use your right fingers to push the throttle control lever or use your left fingers to pull back
on the throttle control lever. See Fig. 3.
2. Turn the tiller to the left to drive in reverse to the left.
3. Turn the tiller to the right to drive in reverse to the right.
NOTE: Your scooter’s speed in reverse is fifty percent of the speed set at the speed control dial.
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 maneuver it through doors,
up and down ramps, up and over curbs, through grass and gravel, and up and down inclines.
RAMPS AND CURBS
When proceeding up any ramp, curb, or incline always lean forward in your seat to move your
center 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, while leaning forward.
•Accelerate gently after stopping on any incline.
Driving down a ramp:
Keep your scooter’s speed control dial set fully counterclockwise at the slowest
speed setting. If you must come to a stop, release the throttle control lever slowly and smoothly.
Curbs
See specifications for maximum curb height.
Always use caution when negotiating any curb.
•Go up or down a curb head on at a direct 90° angle.
•Approach and negotiate the curb so that both back wheels of your scooter go over the curb
at the same time.
•Never negotiate inclines or curbs by traversing them. Doing so may 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. Refer to the “Safety” section. If you are unsure about any
situation, avoid it. Common sense is your best protection.

7. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE EVERY TWELVE MONTHS
To protect your scooter and ensure that it remains in a safe and reliable condition, we strongly
advise you to have your scooter serviced every 12 months by an authorised dealer. This also
protects your warranty. Services can be arranged by contacting your nearest dealer and
organising either a home service or a service in the workshop. Fees may apply for additional time
taken if you organise a home service.
CLEANING YOUR SCOOTER
Tyres: Clean the tyres with ordinary kitchen-type cleaners and a damp cloth. Do not use solvents
on the tyres. Solvents can cause the tyre material to break down or become too soft.
Body: The body (rear shroud, tiller shroud, deck shroud) of your scooter is formed ABS plastic
and coated with a durable automotive-type finish. Use cool water mixed with a mild soap to
remove dirt and oils. Use a nonabrasive car wax on the ABS body parts. Buff by hand with a soft
cloth. Mr Sheen or similar is a good product to use.
Seats: Clean with a mild soap or mild detergent and a damp cloth. A vinyl cleaner may also be
used.
Floor mat:Wipe over the floor mate with a damp cloth.
BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Battery maintenance is the most important part of maintaining your scooter. Keeping the
batteries fully charged helps to extend battery life. Use the following guidelines to help keep
your batteries in optimum condition. Batteries need about 20 cycles to reach their maximum
potential.
•For daily use, keep batteries fully charged. We recommend that you plug in the off-board
charger at the end of each day the scooter is used and charge overnight for at least 8
hours.
•If you are not going to use the scooter for more than a week, fully charge the batteries and
then disconnect them from the scooter. See Fig. 13.
To Charge the Batteries:
The charger for is an off-board type of charger. To charge the batteries:
1. Plug the charger into the charger port on the tiller. See Fig 20.
2. Plug the charger into the power point
3. Turn the power point on
4. Turn the Charger on and leave on until at least 1 hour after the green light has come on.
NOTE: Do not turn the charger off and leave it plugged into the scooter
Battery Maintenance
Your batteries are a sealed type and cannot leak (see Fig. 21). They are capable of about 300
discharge cycles. If you discharge them less than fully, they will achieve a higher number of
cycles. They are maintenance free.

When the batteries need replacing (the scooter will not have as big a range as when new), phone
your local authorised dealer who will be able to supply and fit new batteries either in your home or
at the workshop. These batteries are matched to your charger.
Do not settle for inferior batteries that do not fit the specifications of both the scooter and the
charger as you risk poor scooter performance and low battery life.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF YOUR SCOOTER DOES NOT OPERATE:
•Make certain that the freewheel lever is set to the engaged position. See page 11.
•Check the main circuit breaker. If necessary, reset the circuit breaker.
•Make certain that the speed adjustment dial is at the desired setting.
•Make certain that the key switch is set to the “On” position.
•Make sure the scooter is properly charged –including making sure the power point is
switched on during charging.
If none of the above procedures solve the problem, contact your authorised dealer.
WARNING: Do not attempt electrical repairs. Consult your authorised dealer.
Main Circuit Breaker Tripping
The 50-amp main circuit breaker reset button is located under the seat on the front of the rear
shroud panel. See Fig. 22.
If, for no apparent reason, your scooter stops operating, the main circuit breaker may have
tripped.
Possible causes for the main circuit breaker to trip:
•If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres, low tyre pressure can cause the motor to
overload and trip the main circuit breaker.
•Driving up a long, steep hill.
•Driving over a curb.
•Run-down batteries.
As you operate your scooter, battery voltages go down and battery current must rise to satisfy the
demands of the motor and of other electrical devices operating on your scooter. This can cause a
heavy current draw that may trip the main circuit breaker.
Remedy: Recharge your scooter’s batteries. See “Charger and Batteries” in this section of this
manual.
1. If the problem continues, have your authorised dealer load test the batteries.
2. If the batteries are good, the charger may be the problem. Consult your authorised dealer.

Resetting the Main Circuit Breaker
•If the main circuit breaker trips as a result of run-down batteries or because of a temporary
overload, reset the circuit breaker:
•Wait ten minutes or so for the motor control board to return to the normal operating
temperature range.
•Make certain that the key switch is set to the “Off” position.
•Press in on the main circuit breaker reset button. See Fig. 22.
NOTE: If the main circuit breaker continues to trip, there is probably an underlying electrical fault
that needs attention. Contact your authorised dealer.
WARNING: Do not keep resetting the main circuit breaker without correcting the underlying
electrical problem.
DIAGNOSTICS
The diagnostics feature of your scooter’s microprocessor based motor control board functions as
follows:
•Any fault condition on the controller or on an associated system will cause the Power
Indicator LED to flash and a beep to sound.
•The flashing of the LED occurs as one flash / beep or as a series of flashes / beeps
separated by a two second pause.
•The number of flashes / beeps in each series is referred to as the “Flash Code.”
•The flash code indicates the nature of the condition or fault –see below
The Flash and Beep Codes
1 Flash:
Indicates that the battery voltage (with the throttle control lever in the neutral position) is
below 19 volts. The batteries need to be charged. Your scooter will continue to operate at
reduced speeds until the voltage falls to 17.5 volts. As the voltage drops you will experience
a power loss.
Remedy: Charge your scooter’s batteries. See “Batteries and Charging” in this section.
2 Flashes:
Indicates that the battery voltage has dropped to 17.5 volts. At this voltage your scooter will
cease operation. If you have charged the batteries and the condition continues, one or both
of the scooter’s batteries may be at fault. The continuance of this condition after you have
charged your scooter’s batteries may also indicate a problem with the battery charger.
3 Flashes
Consult your authorised dealer.
4 Flashes
Indicates that the motor control board is overloaded and overheated. An overload can occur
if you have been driving your scooter for an extended period of time up an incline that is
steeper than the recommended grade (see “Specifications” on page 22). An overload can
occur if your scooter is carrying a payload that is higher then the recommended weight
capacity. See “Specifications” on page 22 for your scooter’s weight capacity. If your scooter
is equipped with pneumatic tyres and they are underinflated, an overload can also occur.
Underinflated tyres cause the motor to draw large amounts of current. This high draw
overheats the motor control board. Your scooter will not operate until the motor control
board cools back to its operational temperature range.
Remedy: Turn off your scooter’s key switch and allow the scooter to sit for 10 minutes.
Have your authorised dealer perform a battery load test.
5 Flashes
Indicates a brake problem. The freewheel lever may be in the disengaged position. See
page 11. The brake or the brake wiring may be damaged. For safety reason, your scooter
