EMI WARNING
The scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is a kind 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,turnthescooter OFFassoonasitissafe.
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. Report all incidents of unintended movement or braking to your dealer, and note whether
there are sources of EMI nearby.
WARNING:Theoriginalmanufacturerandtheimporterofthescooterisnotresponsible

OPERATING YOUR SCOOTER
Basic Driving
1. MakesureyouareproperlyseatedonthescooterandthattheSpeedControlknobisturned
fully to the left, towards the “tortoise” icon.
Note: Reverse movement of the scooter may not occur when Speed Control Dial is
turned fully anti-clockwise and reversing up a slope.
2. Turn the On-Off key to the On position.
3. On tiller, use the throttle lever as described earlier.
You will gently accelerate. Release and you will gently stop.
Practice these two basic functions until you get used to them.
4. Steering the scooter is easy and logical. Be sure to remember to allow enough clearance
then turning corners so that the rear wheels clear any obstacle.
5. Shortcuttingapavementcornercancausethebackwheeltogooffthepavement,causing

6. Whensteeringisatightspot,suchasenteringa doorwayorwhenturningaround,stop the
scooterandthenturnthehandlebartowhereyouwanttogo,thenapplypowergently.This
will make the scooter turn very sharply. It is also recommended that the pre-set speed is
set to a slower setting to aid control in tight spots.
Exercise caution when reversing
7. Reversing requires attention.
Right hand pull or left hand push operation of the throttle lever will move the scooter in
forward motion.
When reversing, always turn the handlebars in the same direction to the way you want to
go.
The more you pull/push the throttle lever, the faster you will go.
Reverse speed is around 50% slower than forward speed. If the scooter does not move in
reverse, carefully turn the speed control knob clockwise until the scooter moves gently
backwards.

OPERATING YOUR SCOOTER
Braking
Tobringthescootertoastandstillsimplyletgoofthethrottlecontrollever.Remembertokeep
your hands on the handlebars while the scooter is braking.
Two types of braking are used.
(a) Automatic regenerative braking, which slows the scooter to a stop.
(b) Automatic braking which will operate a couple of seconds after releasing the control lever
and holds the scooter in position, even if you are on a hill within the angle specified as the
Figure 15.
Note:Automaticbrakingisnotinstantaneousandwillengagewithin1/2awheelturn
once the scooter has stopped.
Emergency Braking
In the unlikely event of an unwanted movement of the scooter, switching off the main switch
will bring the scooter to a stop.
