READ THIS MANUAL FULLY BEFORE OPERATION!

This symbol advises you to read information carefully.

This symbol identifies general information

which is intended to simplify working

with your product and which refers to special functions.

Please read and observe all warning and instruction provided in owner's manual

before you operate the various functions of this scooter. Also, please

retain this booklet for future reference.

The vehicle has been successfully safety-tested to German and international standards.
It was also successfully tested to EN60529 IPX4 for splash water insensitivity, and is
therefore ideally suitable for typical central European weather conditions.

Life expectancy

We estimate a life expectancy of five years for this product, provided it is used in
strict accordance with the intended use as set out in this document and all maintenance
and service requirements are met. The estimated life expectancy can be exceeded if
the product is carefully used and properly maintained, and provided technical and
scientific advances do not result in technical limitations. The life expectancy can also
be considerably reduc

ed by extreme or incorrect usage.

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

effects of Electromagnetic Interference on your motorized scooter.

Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic

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

such 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

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

permanently 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

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

level, 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

common sources of radiated EMI. The immunity level of this motorized scooter model is not

known.

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

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

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

listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimized.

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

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

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

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

Motorized Scooter Electromagnetic Interference：

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

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

special 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 prevent possible interference with the control system of the motorized scooter.

Safety information on electromagnetic interference

This electric vehicle was successfully tested in accordance with International standards

as to its compliance with Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) regulations. However,

electromagnetic fields, such as those generated by radio and television transmitters, and

cellular phones can influence the functions of electric vehicles. Also, the electronics used in

our vehicles can generate a low level of electromagnetic interference, which however will

remain within the tolerance permitted by law. For these reasons we ask you to please

observe the following precautions:

Warnings：

Danger of malfunction due to electromagnetic interference!

‧

Do not switch on or operate portable transceivers or communication devices (such as

radio transceivers or cellular phones) when the vehicle is switched on.

‧

Avoid getting near strong radio and television transmitters.

‧

In case the vehicle should be set in motion unintentionally or the brakes are released,

switch it off immediately.

‧

Adding electrical accessories and other components or modifying the vehicle in any way

can make it susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Keep in mind that there is no

sure way to determine the effect such modifications will have on the overall immunity

of the electronic system.

‧

Report all occurrences of unintentional movement of the vehicle, or release of the electric

brakes to the manufacturer.

Important Information：

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 at least 20/Vm.
