REQUIRED
The Zipr Breeze scooter is an electro mechanical device designed to enhance
individual mobility. Please note that the selection and purchasing decision
related to the acquisition of the Zipr Breeze is the responsibility of the Zipr
Breeze user, who is capable of making such a decision.
The Zipr Breeze user should thoroughly read these safety and operation
instructions prior to use. Some users will need to practice operating the Zipr
Breeze in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be
defined as a family member or care professional trained in assisting a Zipr
Breeze user in daily living activities. It is important to practice and master safe
operations until the user is comfortable in maneuvering around frequently
encountered obstacles.
Individual Zipr Breeze users may develop skills to deal with daily living activities
that differ from those described in this manual but warnings and cautions given in
this manual MUST be followed. Operations techniques used in this manual are a
starting point for the new scooter user and should be used only as a “basic”
guide.
WARNING
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your Zipr Breeze and its capabilities. Zipr recommends
that you perform a safety check before each use to make sure your scooter
operates smoothly and safely. For details on how to perform these necessary
inspections see the “Care & Maintenance” section of this manual.
Peform the following inspections prior to using your Zipr Breeze:
Check for proper tire inflation (if equipped with pneumatic tires)
Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not
corroded.
Check all controller connections to the utility tray. Make sure they are
secured properly.
Check the brakes.
Check the battery charge.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Zipr provider for assistance.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your Zipr Breeze is rated for a 300-lb. maximum weight limit.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result
in personal injury and damage to your scooter. Zipr will not be held
responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to
observe weight limitations.
Do not carry passengers on your Zipr Breeze. Carrying passengers may
result in personal injury and/or damage.
INCLINE INFORMATION
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination,
designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks
(180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on your scooter.
Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp
or other incline.
Take wide swings with your scooter’s front wheel around any tight corners.
If you do that, the scooter’s rear wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the
corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.
When driving down a ramp, keep the scooter’s speed adjustment set to
the slowest speed setting to ensure a safely controlled descent. See the
“Your Zipr Breeze” section of this manual.
When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start
up again slowly, and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline,
do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest setting and driving in
the forward direction only. If your scooter starts to move down the incline faster
than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing
the throttle control lever. Then push the throttle control lever forward slightly to
ensure a safely controlled descent.
SAFETY CONTINUED

WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up
the face of the incline. Drive your scooter straight up the incline. This
greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme
caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous
incline (i.e., areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the
scooter in freewheel mode while seated on it or standing next to it.
Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for
scooters. Figure 3 illustrates your scooter’s stability and its ability to climb
grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.
These tests were conducted with the scooter’s seat in the highest position and
adjusted backward on the seat base to its farthest rearward position. Use this
information as a guideline. Your scooter’s ability to travel up inclines is affected
by your weight, your scooter’s speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and
your scooter setup.
FIGURE 3. MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED INCLINE ANGLE
(8° STANDARD OR 6° WITH REAR BASKET OR OXYGEN TANK)
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than
shown in figure 3 may put your scooter in an unstable position and
cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.
WARNING! Never place objects weighing more than 13 pounds on the
rear of the scooter.

When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 4 and 4A.
This shifts the center of gravity of you and your scooter toward the front of the
scooter for improved stability.
WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications
presented in this manual.
FIGURE 4. FIGURE 4A.
NORMAL POSITION INCREASED STABILITY
CORNERING INFORMATION
Excessively high corning speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors
which affect the possibility of tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering
speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven road surfaces,
inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of high
traction (such as passing from a grassy area to a paved area – especially at high
speed while turning), and abrupt directional changes. High cornering speeds are
not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your
speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your
scooter from tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your
scooter at higher speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly reduces the
possibility of a tip or fall. To avoid personal injury or property damage,
always exercise common sense when cornering.

BRAKING INFORMATION
Your scooter is equipped with two powerful brake systems:
1. Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle
control lever returns to the center/stop position; and
2. Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows
the vehicle to near stop, or when power is removed from the system for
any reason.
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your Zipr Breeze is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving
conditions – dry, level surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt.
However, Zipr recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other
surface types. For this reason, your scooter is designed to perform admirably on
packed soil, cut grass, and packed gravel.
Reduce your scooter’s speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft
surfaces.
Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces unprotected ledges, and/or
drop-offs (curbs, porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter climb or descend an
obstacle that is inordinately high. Serious personal injury and/or damage
may result.
WARNING! Do not have your scooter proceed backward down any step,
curb, or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip and cause
personal inury.
SAFETY CONTINUED

12
WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any curb you
may be required to ascend or descend. See figures 5 and 5A.
WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater
than two inches.
FIGURE 5. FIGURE 5A.
CORRECT APPROACH INCORRECT APPROACH
PUBLIC ROADS AND PARKING LOTS
WARNING! You should not operate your scooter on public streets and
roadways. Be aware that it may be difficult for traffic to see when you are
seated on your scooter. Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until
your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme caution.
NOTE: Safety flags are available to order from Zipr Mobility and/or your
authorized Zipr provider.
INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Zipr recommends that you do not operate your scooter in icy
or slippery conditions or on salted surfaces. Such use may result in an
accident, personal injury or adversely affect the performance and safety of
your scooter.
WARNING! Zipr recommends that you do not expose your scooter to any
type of moisture at any time (rain, snow, mist, or wash). Such exposure
can damage your scooter.

FREEWHEEL MODE
Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when pushed down,
allows the scooter to be pushed. For more information about how to place your
scooter into and out of freewheel mode, see the “Your Zipr Breeze” section of
this manual.
WARNING! Do not use your scooter in freewheel mode without an
attendant present. Personal injury may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to place your scooter in freewheel mode while
seated on it. Personal injury may result. Ask an attendant for assistance if
necessary.
WARNING! Do not place your scooter in freewheel mode while on an
incline. The scooter could roll uncontrollably on its own, causing personal
injury.
An added feature built into the Zipr Breeze is “push-too-fast” protection which
safeguards the scooter against gaining excessive speed while in freewheel mode.
“Push-too-fast” operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists:
If the key is switched “off” when in freewheel mode, the scooter’s
controller activates regenerative braking when the scooter is pushed faster
than a maximum threshold which has been preprogrammed. In this case,
the controller is acting as a speed governor.
If the key is switched “on” while in freewheel mode you will encounter
considerable resistance at any speed. This prevents the scooter from
gaining unwanted momentum should the manual freewheel lever
inadvertently be released while driving the scooter.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
The Zipr Breeze is not designed to travel up and down stairs or escalators.
Always use an elevator.
WARNING! Never use your scooter to negotiate steps or escalators. You
may cause injury to yourself and to others and damage your Zipr Breeze.

DOORS
1. Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
2. Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
3. Drive your scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or
drive you scooter gently and slowly backwards to pull the door open.
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed,
reopens the elevator door(s).
If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close,
push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the
scooter and the door will reopen.
Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or scooter accessories do not
become caught in elevator doors.
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS

frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in personal injury
and/or damage to the battery.
SAFETY CONTINUED

15
PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an
extended period of time, turn off the power to your scooter. This will
prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle control lever contact.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems ina moving
vehicle of any type to transport a person while seated in Zipr Breeze.
Although your scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not
designed to provide proper restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone
traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle seat
with safety belts fastened securely.
WARNING! Do not sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle.
Personal injury and/or property damage may result.
WARNING! Always be sure your scooter and its batteries are properly
secured when it is being transported. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury and/or damage to your Zipr Breeze.
GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR SCOOTER
Getting onto and off of your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please
observe the following safety tips when getting onto and off of your scooter:
Power down your scooter, see the “Operations” section of this manual.
Ensure that your scooter is not in freewheel mode, see the “Your Zipr
Breeze” section of this manual
Make certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed
from the key switch.
The seat armrests can be flipped up to make getting onto and off of the
scooter easier.
WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the scooter seat to
prevent the scooter from tipping and causing injury. Avoid putting all of
your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the scooter to tip and
cause personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such
use may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.

16
POSITIONING BELTS
Your authorized Zipr provider and other healthcare professionals are responsible
for determining your requirement for a position belt in order to operate yoru
scooter safely.
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your Zipr
Breeze, make sure it is fastened securely. Serious personal injury may
result if you fall from the Zipr Breeze.
REACHING AND BENDING
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your Zipr Breeze. When reaching,
bending, or leaning while seated on your Zipr Breeze, it is important to maintain a
stable center of gravity and keep the scooter from tipping. Zipr recommends that
the scooter user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and
reaching in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them
up from the floor by reaching down between your knees. Movements such
as these may change your center of gravity and the weight distribution of
the scooter and cause your scooter to tip, possibly resulting in personal
injury. Keep your hands away from the tires when driving.
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS/PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS
The scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her
Zipr Breeze. This includes awareness of safety issues when taking prescribed or
over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations.

EMI/RFI WARNINGS
Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have
shown that radio waves can cause unintended motion of electric mobility vehicles.
Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). When electromagnetic
energy adversely affects the operation of an electrical device, that adverse effect
is called Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference
(RFI).
EMI/RFI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
The following FAQs summarize what you should know about EMI/RFI. Use this
information to minimize the risk that EMI/RFI will adversely affect your mobility
vehicle.
Where do radio waves come from?
Radio waves are emitted from the antennas of cellular phones, mobile two-way
radios (such as walkie-talkies and CBs), radio stations, TV stations, amateur
radio transmitters, wireless computer links, microwave sources, and paging
transmitters. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). EM is
more intense closer to transmitting antennas, which are sources of emissions.
The greater the transmission strength, the greater the concern to electric mobility
vehicle users.
If EMI/RFI affects my mobility vehicle, what kind of motion should I expect?
This is difficult to predict. The answer would depend on a number of factors:
The strength of the radio waves.
The construction of your particular mobility vehicle.
The location of your mobility vehicle (whether it is on level ground/incline).
Whether or not your mobility vehicle is in motion.
The motion of any electric mobility vehicle affected by EMI/RFI can be erratic.
The mobility vehicle may come to a sudden stop or move in an uncontrolled
manner. Also, it is possible for EMI/RFI to release the brakes of an electric
mobility vehicle. Some intense EMI/RFI can even damage the control system
components of an electric mobility vehicle.
Is there any way to know for certain whether or not radio waves are the
cause of any unintended mobility vehicle motion?
Unfortunately, EMI/RFI may be difficult to recognize, because the signals from
radio sources are invisible and may be intermittent. However, the FDA
recommends that you report all incidents of unintended motion or unintended
brake release of your mobility vehicle to its manufacturer and, if possible,
EMI/RFI

18
determine whether or not there was a radio wave source nearby at the time of
the incident.
One precaution you can take against unintended motion of your mobility vehicle
is to make certain that your or someone else is not the cause of the unintended
motion.
Turn off your mobility vehicle by removing the key from the key switch
when you are getting onto or off of your mobility vehicle.
Never leave the key in the key switch of an unattended mobility vehicle.
By following these steps, you greatly reduce the risk of you or anyone else
inadvertently bumping the throttle control levers and causing the mobility
vehicle to move unintentionally.
Has anyone been injured by the erratic, unintended motion of an electric
mobility vehicle?
The FDA has reports of injuries that resulted from uncontrolled motion of electric
mobility vehicles, but it is not clear just how many of those injuries were actually
caused by EMI/RFI.
Are all electric mobility vehicles susceptible to EMI/RFI?
Each make and model of electric vehicle differs in its ability to resist EMI/RFI.
Every mobility vehicle has a particular level of resistance to EMI/RFI. This
resistance is measured in volts per meter (V/m). A higher resistance level offers
greater protection against EMI/RFI. In other words, an electric mobility vehicle
with a high resistance level is less likely to be affected by a strong radio source
than is an electric mobility vehicle with a low resistance level.
What is the FDA doing about the problem?
The FDA has written to electric mobility vehicle manufacturers and requested
that those manufacturers test their new mobility vehicle models to be certain that
they provide a reasonable degree of resistance against EMI/RFI. The FDA has
stated that all newly manufactured electric mobility vehicle models should have a
resistance level of at least 20V/m. This level of resistance provides a reasonable
degree of protection against the common sources of EMI/RFI.
The FDA has also requested or recommended that:
Electric mobility vehicle manufacturers clearly label new products with
their resistance level or state that the resistance level is not known.
The labeling or informational material supplied with new electric mobility
vehicles must explain what the resistance level means and warn users
about the possibility of EMI/RFI and how to avoid it.
Electric mobility vehicle manufacturers undertake an educational program
to inform electric mobility vehicle users and their caregivers about the
problems associated with EMI/RFI and about the actions they can take.
EMI/RFI CONTINUED

19
While there is no exact way to tell if your mobility vehicle is totally safe, an
immunity level of 20V/m is generally achievable and useful. This scooter
has been tested and passed at an immunity level of 20V/m.
What can I do to find out if my mobility vehicle is likely to be affected by
EMI/RFI?
If you have had your mobility vehicle for some time and have not experienced
any unintended motion, it is not likely that you will have a problem in the future.
However, it is always possible that EMI/RFI problems could arise if you are close
to a source of radio waves. Therefore, it is very important for you to be alert to
this possibility. The mobility vehicle meets or exceeds oa resistance level of at
least 20V/m.
What can I do to reduce the risk of my mobility vehicle being affected by
EMI/RFI?
Here are some precautions you can take:
Do not turn on or use hand-held personal communications devices, such
as citizens band (CB) radios and cellular phones, while your mobility
vehicle is turned on.
Be aware of nearby radio wave transmitters, such as radio or TV stations
and hand-held or mobile two-way radios. Try not to operate your mobility
vehicle too close to those transmitters. For example, if you are on an
electric mobility vehicle with a resistance level of at least 20V/m, you
should remain at least three feet from a hand-held two-way radio and at
least ten feet from a mobile two-way radio.
Be aware that adding accessories and/or components, or modifying your
mobility vehicle in any way, may change its EMI/RFI resistance level and
may make it more susceptible to interference from radio wave sources.
What should I do if my mobility vehicle moves unexpectedly?
If unintended motion or unintended brake release occurs, turn off your mobility
vehicle (by removing the key) as soon as it is safe to do so.
If my mobility vehicle moves unintentionally, where should I report the
incident?
Call Zipr Mobility Service Department at [phone] to report the incident.
