IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

2

•Only one person at a time could ride a C.T.M. Mobility Scooter.

•Maximum load is 115 kg / 250 lbs.

•Tu

rn key off before getting on or off your scooter.

•Always drive carefully with your feet on the scooter and be aware of others in your area.

•

Always use pedestrian crossing wherever possible. Take extreme care when crossing

roads.

•Do not drive on slopes exceeding 8 degrees, and take extreme care when turning on
slopes.

•

Do not use full power when turning a sharp corner.

•Do not drive scooter unless seat and tiller are locked and secured in driving position.

•

Do not use scooter if rear anti-tip wheels are damaged or removed.

•Take extra care and drive in low speeds when backing up, riding downhill, riding over
uneven surface, or curb climbing.

•

Scooter may not operate well in high humidity.

•Never put your scooter in neutral when stopping on slopes.

•Follow all traff

ic laws when you ride in vicinity of public roads.

•Our recommendations may occasionally differ from those of your Therapeutic Adviser
or Physician, as they have a better understanding of your abilities. Where this is the
case, you must follow their professional advice, as they have your detailed medical

history.

•

Do not use your scooter when your driving ability is impaired by medication.

•Under no circumstances should the scooters top speed be increased.

•

Please make sure that the seat and all moving parts are secure before mounting

the scooter.

•

Do not carry heavy objects on scooter.

•Do not hang bags on folding backrest.

•Do not use scooter on stairs or escalator.

Instruction BookletHS-295E

Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic
i

nterference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources

s

uch a radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios,
and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the motorized
s

cooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also
p

ermanently damage the motorized scooter control system. The intensity of the interfering
EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each motorized scooter can resist
E

MI up to certain intensity. This is called its "immunity level." The higher the immunity

l

evel, the greater the protection. At this time, current technology is capable of achieving
at least a 20 V/m immunity level, which would provide useful protection from the more
c

ommon sources of radiated EMI. This immunity level of this motorized scooter model

is 20 V/m.

There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the everyday
e

nvironment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not

a

pparent and exposure is unavoidable. However, we believe that by following the warnings

listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimized.

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

communication devices;

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; and

CAUTION: It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible
e

ffects of Electromagnetic Interference on your motorized scooter.

Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they
are ON, even when not being used.

The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types：

3.Long-range transmitters and transceivers such as commercial broadcast transmitters

(radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.

Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one move closer to the transmitting
a

ntenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of

s

pecial concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close
to the motorized scooter control system while using these devices. This can affect motorized
scooter movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to
p

revent possible interference with the control system of the motorized scooter.

Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop
c

omputers, AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, and cassette players,
and small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far
a

s we know, are not likely to cause EMI problems to your motorized
scooter.

Motorized Scooter Electromagnetic Interference：

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur
radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect motorized scooters.
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release
o

r motorized scooter movement which could result in serious injury.

1.Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers), such as citizens band
(CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while
the motorized 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 brake release occurs, turn the motorized scooter OFF as
soon as it is safe;

Warnings：

4.Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the motorized scooter,
may make it more susceptible to EMI; and

5.Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the distributor listed

on the inside front cover of this manual. Note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.

1.20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against
EMI (as of May 1994). The higher the level, the greater the protection.

2.The immunity level of this product is 20 V/m.

There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity
of the motorized scooter.
