IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Risk of injury from hot surfaces!
Do not leave the mobility device in direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Metal parts
and surfaces such as the seat and armrests can become very hot.
The scooter ST#5D conforms to the following standards :
•requirements for resistance to ignition in accordance with ISO 7176-16
•seat materials used on this product conform to EN1021 parts 1 and 2.
NOTE:
The control system is programmed with standard values in the works. Your Drive
Medical dealer can carry out programming tailored to fit your requirements.
•This scooter is designed for single person use only at any one time.
•Maximum load is 181 kgs.
•Turn key off before getting on or off.
•Always drive carefully and be aware of others using the same area.
•Always use pedestrian crossings wherever possible. Take extreme care when crossing
roads.
•
Do not drive on slope exceeding 10 degree, and take extreme care when turning on slope.
•Do not use full power when turning to sharp corner.
•Take great care and drive in low speed when backing up, riding downhill or on uneven
surface, and climbing curb.
•Please use the lowest speed when driving through the descending road or uneven terrain.
If speed is too fast, leave your hand off the handle bar, let the scooter stop. Make sure
safety and start again.
•A slow speed must always be used when ascending, descending or traversing aslope
or incline and also on uneven terrain, ramps and soft or loose surfaces, such as gravel
or grass.
•To prevent any danger, do not turn around at high speed on ascending, descending ramp.
•Scooter may not operate well in high humidity.
•Do not leave the powered scooter in a rain storm of any kind.
•Do not use the powered scooter in a shower.
•Direct exposure to rain or dampness will cause the scooter to malfunction electrically
and mechanically; may cause the powered scooter to prematurely rust.
•Never put scooter in neutral when staying on slopes.
•Follow traffic laws when riding outside.
•When scooter on moving transport vehicles, do not sit or stay on scooter.
•The weight capacity limit at different ramp degree (please refer to following picture).
•The grade climbing degree will be affected by weight capacity, driving speed, and ramp degree, and scooter parameter.
•To prevent any danger from motor defected; please avoid to drive on long ramp or any uneven terrain.

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
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 EMI problems to your motorized scooter.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
AND WARNINGS
3
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.
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 :
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
Instruction BookletST#5

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.
Motorized Scooter Electromagnetic Interference：
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.
Warnings：
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:
Safety information on electromagnetic interference
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.
