Warning – Do not operate your scooter for
the first time without completely reading
and understanding this owner’s handbook
1. Do not operate the scooter on public
streets and highways. Be aware that it may
be difficult for traffic to see you when you
are seated on the scooter. Obey all local
pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path
is clear of traffic, and then proceed with
extreme caution.
2. To prevent injury to yourself or others,
always ensure that the power is switched off
when getting on or off of the scooter.
3. Always check that the drive wheels are
engaged (drive mode) before driving. Do not
switch off the power when the scooter is
still moving forward. This will bring the
scooter to an extremely abrupt stop.
4. Do not use this product or any available
optional equipment without first completely
reading and understanding these
instructions. If you are unable to understand
the warnings, cautions or instructions,
contact your dealer before attempting to
use this equipment, otherwise, injury or
damage may occur.
5. There are certain situations, including some
medical conditions, where the scooter user
will need to practice operating the scooter
in the presence of a trained attendant. A
trained attendant can be defined as a family
member or care professional especially
trained in assisting a scooter user in various
daily living activities.
6. Do not attempt to lift or move a scooter by
any of its removable parts including the
armrests, seats or shrouds. Personal injury
and damage to the scooter may result.
7. Never try to use your scooter beyond its
limitations as described in this manual.
8. Please do not sit on your scooter while it is
in a moving vehicle such as a car, bus or
train.
9. Keep your hands away from the wheels
(tyres) while driving scooters. Be aware that
loose fitting clothing can become caught in
the drive wheels.
10. Consult your physician if you are taking
prescribed medication or if you have any
certain physical limitations. Some
medications and limitations may impair your
ability to operate scooters in a safe manner.
Consult with your physician if you are taking
any medication that may affect your ability
to operate your scooter safely.
11. Do not drive or sit on the scooter when in
freewheel mode.
12. Do not remove the anti-tipper (if fitted)
13. Always switch off the scooter and charger,
and disconnect the battery before doing any
work or using any tools on the scooter.
14. Do not attempt to lift or move your scooter
by any of its removable parts, such as the
armrests, seats, or shroud.
15. Do not climb a gradient at an angle. Always
drive straight up a gradient, as this greatly
reduces the risk of tipping or a fall. Do not
climb a gradient steeper than 10º.
16. Do not drive backwards down any step, kerb
or other obstacle. This may cause the
scooter to tip or fall.
17. Always reduce your speed and maintain a
stable centre of gravity when cornering
sharply. Do not corner sharply when driving
scooters at higher speeds.
18. Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist and on icy
or slippery surfaces may have an adverse
affect on the electrical system.
19. Never sit on your scooter when it is being
used in connection with any type of lift or
hoist. Your scooter is not designed with
such use in mind and any damage or injury
incurred from such use is not the
responsibility of Drive DeVilbiss.
Modifications
Your scooter has been designed to be as
practical as possible. However, under no
circumstances should you modify, add, remove,
or disable any part or function of your scooter.
Personal injury and damage to the scooter may
result.
1. Do not modify your scooter in any way not
authorized by Drive DeVilbiss. Do not use
accessories if they have not been tested
or approved for Drive DeVilbiss products.
2. Get to know the feel of your scooter and its
HW007 Scooter Owner’s Handbook (HW007_IFU 08/15) Page 4
5. Report all incidents of unintended
HW007 Scooter Owner’s Handbook (HW007_IFU 08/15) Page 3
capabilities. Drive DeVilbiss recommends that you
perform a safety check before each use to
make sure your scooter operates safely.
Inspections prior to using your scooter:
1. If equipped with pneumatic tyres, please
check for the tyres are not flat.
2. Please check all electrical connections and
make sure they are tight and not corroded.
3. Please check all harness connections and
make sure they are secured properly.
4. Please check the brakes.
Weight limitation.
1. Do not exceed the weight capacity stated in
the Specification section. Exceeding the
weight capacity voids your warranty. Drive
DeVilbiss will not be held responsible for injuries
or property damage resulting from failure
to observe weight limitations.
2. Do not carry passengers on scooters.
Carrying passengers on your scooter may
affect the centre of gravity, resulting in a tip
or a fall.
Tyre inflation
1. If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic
tyres, check the tyre pressure every week.
2. The correct tyre pressure will prolong the
life of your tyres and ensure a smooth ride.
3. Do not under-inflate or over-inflate your
tyres. It is critically important that tyre
pressure is maintained between 25 – 30 psi
(2.0 – 2.4 bar).
Temperature
1. Some of the parts of the scooter are
susceptible to change in temperature. The
controller can only operate in temperature
that ranges between -25ºC ~ 50ºC (-13ºF to
122ºF).
2. At extreme low temperatures, the batteries
may freeze, and your scooter may not be
able to operate. In extreme high
temperatures, it may operate at slower
speeds due to a safety feature of the
controller that prevents damage to the
motors and other electrical components.

IN TERFE RENCE
The rapid development of electronics, especially
in the area of communications, has saturated
our environment with electromagnetic (EM)
radio waves that are emitted by television, radio
and communication signals. These EM wave are
invisible and their strength increases as one
approaches the source. All electrical conductors
act as antennas to the EM signals and, to
varying degrees, all power wheelchairs and
scooters are susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI). The interference could result
in abnormal, unintentional movement and/or
erratic control of the vehicle. Scooters may be
susceptible to electromagnetic interference
(EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic
energy emitted from sources such as radio
stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, two-way radios, cellular phones
and alarm systems. The interference (from radio
wave sources) can cause the scooter to release
its brakes, move by itself or move in unintended
directions. It can also permanently damage the
powered scooter’s control system. The intensity
of the EM energy can be measured in volts per
meter (V/m).Each powered scooter can resist
EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called
“immunity level”. The higher the immunity level
the greater the protection. At this time, current
technology is capable of providing at least 20
V/m of immunity level, which would provide
useful protection against common sources of
radiated EMI.
Following the warnings listed below should
reduce the chance of unintended brake release
or powered scooter movement that could result
in serious injury:
1. Do not turn on hand-held personal
communication devices such as citiHW007s
band (CB) radios and cellular phones while
the powered 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 powered scooter off as
soon as it is safe.
4. Be aware that adding accessories or
components, or modifying the powered
scooter, may make it more susceptible to
HW007 Scooter Owner’s Handbook (HW007_IFU 08/15) Page 4
interference from radio wave sources
(Note: It is difficult to evaluate the effect on
the overall immunity of the powered
scooter).
5. Report all incidents of unintended
movement or brake release to the powered
scooter manufacturer, and note whether
there is a radio wave source nearby.
TURN OFF YOUR POWERED SCOOTER AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE IF YOU EXPERIENCE
THE FOLLOWING:
Unintentional scooter movements
Unintended or uncontrollable
direction.
Unexpected brake release
The higher the immunity level the greater the
protection. Your powered scooter has an
immunity level of 20 V/m which should protect
against common sources of EMI. Warning: The
scooter itself can disturb the performance of the
electromagnetic fields such as emitted by an
alarm system
HW007 Scooter Owner’s Handbook (HW007_IFU 08/15) Page 6
Tiller Positioning:
Loosen the quick release lever, fold the tiller up to vertical position and tighten the quick release lever. If you want
to adjust the tiller angle, you have to lift the tiller upper to make sure the stopper goes into the groove by releasing
the quick release lever.
To adjust the width of the Arm-rest:
Loosen the tension fixing nuts and adjust the width to your seating comfort.
Assembling the rear part:
Tilt the rear part of scooter backwards at approximately 45º.
Lift the front body and catch the lower frame tube with the frame hooks properly at the proper position
Assemble the rear part and front part carefully in order not to scratch the cover.
