EMI Warning
Shoprider®scootersmaybesusceptibletoelectromagneticinterference(EMI),whichisakind
of interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV
stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radio, and cellular phones. The
interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the scooter to release its brakes, move by
itself,ormoveinunintendeddirections. Itcanalsopermanentlydamagethescooter’scontrol
system. The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1.Hand-heldportabletransceivers(transmitters-receivers)withtheantennamounteddirectly
onthetransmittingunit.Examplesinclude:citizensband(CB)radios,“walkietalkie”,security,
fireandpolicetransceivers,cellulartelephones,andotherpersonalcommunicationdevices.
NOTE!SomecellulartelephonesandsimilardevicestransmitsignalswhiletheyareON,
even when not being used.
2. Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire trucks,
ambulances, and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the
vehicle.
3. Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitters
(radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.
NOTE! Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers,
AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, and cassette players, and small appliances, such
as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause problems
to the scooter.
Scooter Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting
antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio sources (transceivers) are of special
concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the
scooter’s control system while using these devices. This can affect scooter movement and
braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible
interference with the control system of the scooter.

WARNINGS
1.Donotoperatehand-heldtransceivers(transmitters-receivers),suchascitizensband(CB)
radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the
scooter is turned ON.
2.Beawareofnearbytransmitters,suchasradioorTVstations,andtrytoavoidcomingclose
to them.
3.Ifunintendedmovementorbrakereleaseoccurs,turnthescooterOFFassoonasitissafe.
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the scooter may make it
more susceptible to EMI.
NOTE! There is no easy way to evaluate the overall immunity of the scooter.
5.ReportallincidentsofunintendedmovementorbrakingtoyourShoprider®dealer,andnote
whether there are sources of EMI nearby.

ADJUSTMENTS

8
Tiller Angle Adjustment (Fig. 1)
The red lever located on the left hand side at
the joint base of the tiller is used for tiller angle
adjustment. Push the lever to release the
pin and select the required tiller angle. Refit
the pin into one of the five location holes to
complete the adjustment.
Armrest Angle Adjustment (Fig. 2)
Flip up the armrests to allow access to the
adjustable bolt and lock nut, unscrew the
lock-nut and screw the bolt in or out to
increase or decrease the angle. Re-tighten
the lock-nut. Your scooter is dispatched from the
factory with the armrests set parallel to the floor.
Armrest Height Adjustment (Fig. 3)
The vertical square tube connected with
the armrest can be reset to the desired
position by re-tightening the hand knob
for armrest height adjustment.

Seat Slide & Swivel Adjustment (Fig. 4)
Pulling up on the seat slide lever allows the
seat position to be adjusted forward or
backward. Release the lever and the seat
will lock in that position. Under the right
side of the seat there is a spring loaded red
lever. Pulling up on the lever allows the seat
to swivel, when released the seat will lock
into one of 3 positions.
Seat Removal (Fig. 5)
Fold down the back of the seat. Pull up the
swivel seat adjustable lever (fig. 4) and lift
seat off.
Seat Height Adjustment (Fig. 5)
Remove seat as described above. Loosen
seat tightening bolt by hex key wrench.
Remove the locking pin that secures the seat
adaptor. Lift the seat adaptor out of the seat
post. The seat height can be adjusted to
different settings by inserting the steel locking
pin in the required hole. Retighten the bolt and
replace the seat.
Armrest Width Adjustment (Fig. 6)
On the underside of the seat there are two
hand knobs, one either side. Loosening the
hand knob allows the armrest to be adjusted
to the required width, or removed for
transportation.
Do not use the scooter without the arms
being fitted.
