Warning – Do not operate your scooter for
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.

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 Owners Handbook (HW007_IFU 08/15) Page 4
5. Report all incidents of unintended

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.
EL ECTRO MA GNETI C
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

position. If the scooter is in the free wheel mode (motor is disengaged), you can use the manual parking brake function by moving the engaging/disengaging lever back into the engaged position by an attendant.
Thermal Protection:
Your scooter controller is equipped with a safety system called thermal rollback. A built-in circuit monitors the temperature of the controller and motor. In case of excessive heat of the controller and motor, the controller will cut-off the power to allow the electrical components to cool down. Although your scooter will resume its normal speed when the temperature returns to a safe level, we recommend to wait for 5 minutes before restarting to allow the components to cool down.
In some circumstances the scooter may slow down, regardless of desired driving speed, prior to this happening. This is normal. However repeated occurrences should be reported to your dealer.
Main Circuit Breaker:
The main circuit breaker reset button is located on the top of the battery box.
The main circuit breaker monitors the electric current drawn from the battery. It is a safety feature built in your scooter for your extra safety. When the batteries and motor are heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker will trip to prevent damage to the motor and the electronics. If the circuit breaker trips, turn off the scooter and wait for approximately one minute and then depress the button to reset it. Then turn on the scooter, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, this indicates a fault so contact your authorized dealer.
We recommend that you use deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free for your scooter. Both sealed lead-acid (SLA) and gel cell are deep-cycle batteries and are similar in performance. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down, and then accept a relatively quick recharge. Lead-acid batteries should be charged as often as possible.

Note: In case of emergency, release the wigwag paddle the vehicle will come to a stop.
Free-Wheeling:
1. The motors are designed to engage the electromagnetic brakes when the vehicle is not in use or when the power is OFF. They also have a manual feature that allows them to “free-wheel” so the scooter can be moved without turning it on. Free-wheeling is accomplished by adjusting the free-wheeling lever to the free-wheel position.
Warning !
Never free-wheel your scooter on a gradient. Never free-wheel the motors whilst sat on the vehicle. Always remember to engage the motors before turning the power ON.
Electromagnetic Brakes:
Your scooter comes with Electromagnetic Brakes., i.e. an automatic magnetic disc safety brake which is also known as Fail-Safe brake. The electro-magnetic Brakes are automatic and work when the scooter is ON but in a steady state (i.e. Wigwag is released to the neutral position), even when the scooter is on a slope. The Electromagnetic Brakes will also be set whenever the scooter is OFF, but the motor levers are in the engaged (vertical) position.
Parking brake:
There is an automatic parking brake function included in the electromagnetic brake. The scooter will stop when the motor is engaged and the power switch is off or when the power switch is on and the wigwag is in the neutral

Amp Hours:
12 amp hours
Depending on the use, terrain and driving conditions, the batteries will provide a range of 20 km of travel. However, even if the scooter is not in use, we recommend that the batteries are charged periodically.
Note: Do not use any automotive batteries. They are not designed to handle a long, deep discharge and also are unsafe for use in the scooter. The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives.
2 AMP CHARGER
The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet voltage (alternating current) and converts it into VDC (direct current).The batteries use direct current to run your scooter. When the batteries are fully charged, the amperage from the charger is almost at zero. This is how the charger maintains a charge but does not overcharge the battery.
Note 1: The batteries cannot be charged if they were discharged to nearly zero voltage.
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
To recharge the batteries, follow the steps below:
Place your scooter close to a standard electrical wall outlet. Remove your key to turn the power OFF Slide the charger port door open. Plug the XLR connector of the charger to the charger port. Plug the other end of power cord into a standard wall outlet. When charging is completed, the charger LED shows green. Disconnect the charger power cord from the wall outlet when the batteries are fully charged.
Recharge the battery only when the scooter is switched off. When the battery indicator shows low power, recharge the battery.
Note:
Always charge your batteries in well ventilated areas. The charger is intended for indoor use only. Protect from moisture. For maximum performance, it is recommended that you replace both batteries at the same time if the batteries
are weak.
If the vehicle will not be used for a long period of time, arrange to have the batteries recharged at least once
every month to avoid deterioration of the batteries.
According to the battery type and condition of the batteries, they usually can be fully charged 10 hours. This will be indicated when the status light in the battery charger side panel turns green. Charging the battery longer than
necessary will not harm the battery. We recommend that you charge the batteries for 10 hours after daily use.

SCOOTER MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Make sure to keep the controller clean while protecting it from rain or water. Never hose off your scooter or
place it in direct contact with water.
Keep wheels free from lint, hair, sand and carpet fibres.
Visually inspect the tire tread. If less than 1mm (1/32”), please have your tires replaced by your local dealer.
All upholstery can be washed with warm water and mild soap. Occasionally check the seat and back for
sagging, cuts and tears. Replace if necessary. Do not store your scooter in damp or humid conditions as this will lead to mildew and rapid deterioration of the upholstery parts.
All moving mechanism will benefit from simple lubrication and inspection. Lubricate using petroleum jelly or
light oil. Do not use too much oil, otherwise small drips could stain and damage carpets and furnishings etc. Periodically check that all fasteners (nuts, bolts, etc) are tight and secure.
Inspect the state of the battery terminals every six months. Make sure that they are not corroded and the
connections are tight. Periodically apply a thin film of petroleum jelly on the surface of terminals to guard against corrosion.
Your scooter is designed for minimal maintenance. However, like any motorized vehicle it requires routine maintenance. To keep your scooter for years of trouble-free operation, we recommend you follow the following maintenance checks as scheduled.
