EMI Warning
Shoprider® scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is a
kind of interfering e lectromagnetic energy (E M) 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, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the scooter’s
control system. The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1. Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers) with the antenna mounted
directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios, “walkie
talkie”, security, fire and police transceivers, cellular telephones, and other personal
communic ation devices.
NOTE! So me ce llular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they are
ON, even when not be ing used.
2. Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those us ed in police cars, fire trucks,
ambulanc es , and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the
vehicle.
3. Long-range transmitters and transc eivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitters
(radio and TV broadcas t antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.
NOTE! Othe r 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 shave rs and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not
likely to cause problems to the scooter.
Scooter Electromagnetic Interfe rence (EMI)
Because EM energ y rapidly becomes m ore 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 energ y very close to the
scooter’s control system while using these devices. This can affect scooter movement and
braking. There fore, the warn ings listed below are recommended to prevent possible
interference with the control system of the scooter.

7
WARNINGS
1. Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers), such as citizens band
(CB) radios, or turn ON pers onal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while
the scooter is turned ON.
2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming
close to them.
3. If unintended movement or bra ke release occurs, turn the scooter OFF as s oon as it is
safe.
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the scooter may make it
more susceptible to E MI.
NOTE! There is no e asy way to evaluate the overall immunity of the scooter.
5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or braking to your Shoprider® dealer, and
note whether the re are sources of EMI nearby.
WARNING: The original manufacturer and the importer of the scooter is not
responsible for damage or injury incurred due to improper and unsafe use of our
scooter.

STARTING TO DRIVE YOUR SCOOTER
Getting Starte d
• Select a level area with p lenty of space.
• Mount the scooter, either by lifting the arm and sliding on to the seat or rotate the seat
outwards and then rotate the seat back to face the tiller.
• Adjust the tiller and seat as described previously.
Starting Scoote r Move ment
• Ensure that you are seated in a comfortable position.
• Turn the key to the ON position.
• Your speed setting should be on 1 or 2.
• Pull your right hand finger lever, the scooter will move forward slowly. The harder you pull
the faster the scooter goes but will only reach the speed level that has been selected.
• Release the lever and the scooter will slowly come to a stop and the magnetic brake will
be applied.
Steering
Steering the scooter is light and easy. Ensure when starting off you give a wide clearance
when turning so that the rear wheels clear any obstac le that you are pass ing. When
steering through lim ited spaces such as a doorway or when turning around, turn the tiller
handles where you want to go and apply power gently. The scooter will turn very tightly, but
will still move with complete stability as long as the speed is not too high.
Reve rsing
Before reversing ensure that the area behind is free from any hazards or obstructions.
Adjus t your speed setting to a low setting before you reverse. Pull/press the left
thumb/finger lever, and steer wide of all corners and obstacles.
Dismounting
Before dismounting ensure that the key is turned to the off position.
CAUTION: Please ensure that care is exercised when entering or leaving the scooter
and that the tiller and foot rest is not used for support.

EXTRA GUIDELINES IN THE CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER
Ramps
The s tability of your scooter is governed b y several factors s uc h as the seating position, the
angle of the slope and your height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so directly
and not at an angle and whenever possible avoid making turns. When going down a ramp or slope
keep the speed settings to slow. This will ensure there is a safe controlled descent. When
the finger levers are released the scooter will slowly stop.
Safe Climbing Angle
Always follow the guidelines of the safe climbing angle shown as s hown in figu re 9.
Caution - Do not turn off the control key while the unit is in motion
Grass and Gravel
Please follow the guidelines given previously and your scooter will perform admirably over
many surfaces. Avoid long grass, loose gravel and sand.
NOTE: You should not operate your scooter in wet weather or on wet surfaces. This
may cause the motor to sort out.
Angles and weights s hown here for this sc ooter indicate the safe working angles for the
user and equipment. Any scooter used outside these parameters may be unsafe and or
cause future problems with the e lectrical sys tems
(Single user)

BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGER
The Shoprider® scooter is supplied with maintenance free, sealed lead acid batteries.
Battery performance can be affected by temperature, te rrain , condition of battery, type of
battery charger, the weight o f the user, wind speed, etc. The battery level indicator is only a
guide and is most effective when the sc ooter is moving, only then is the true discharge level
displayed.
• When the scooter stops the battery level indicator may indicate full.
• An active user can use up to 30% of battery capacity o r more per day.
• Inactive users may only use 50% of battery capacity in a week.
• In both these instances the battery should be put on charge over night.
Battery Charger
The battery charger supplied is spec ial to your sc ooter, and may not be suitable for any
other power mobility product. Use only the c harger supplied with your scooter; o ther marks
of chargers may permanently damage your scooter batteries, and would void the warranty.
All the information of battery charger and its operation instruction shall be referred to the
user manual attached with the charger in its packaging paper box.
First Time Use
Prior to using your Portable scooter for the first time, you must charge the batteries fully
(refer to Battery Charging Procedures). Charging may take up to 12 hours. Charging the
batteries completely prior to first time use will benefit battery effic iency. Failure to do so may
cause damage.
Charging
To charge the batteries connect the 3-pin male plug lead into the 3 -pin female
battery-charging socket located on the tiller. Plug the A/C cord plug into the wall socket and
the other end into the charger (2-pin). Please refer to the LED indicator description based on
charging s tatus of the charger’s manual. Once the batteries are completely charged, unplug
the A/C cord from the wall then unplug the 3-pin lead from the tiller.
WARNING: Only use the original Shoprider® approved charger!
This charger is for indoor use only. DO NOT expose it to rain or water spray.
Do not leave the charger plugged into the charger port if the charger is not charging.

wheel the retaining bolt is fitted with a locking washer (with drive key for the rear wheel).
Tire p ressure is recommended to be kept at 30 psi on the rear tires and 25 psi on the front.
Note when refitting the tube a sm all amount of air in the tube w ill prevent the tube from
pinching when reassembling the split rim.
Caution: On the tire it states maximu m tire pressure is 50psi. This is a maximum tire
pressure and the tires should never be inflate d to this pressure.
Attention: T ires should be maintained at the correct pressure note d above to e nsure
even wear and ride comfort.
