BRAKES & STOPPING
Coming to a stop in your scooter can simply be done by releasing the throttle. The throttle will automatically return to the centre position, and the scooter will come to a stop.
ATTENTION – Quickly moving the throttle in the opposite direction of
travel will cause the scooter to come to an abrupt stop, and if held
continuously in the opposite direction may cause erratic movements if you are unfamiliar with the controls.
Your scooter is equipped with two types of brake systems:
Regenerative brakes – when the throttle is returned to the centre position, or stop
neutral position, regenerative brakes use electricity to quickly decelerate the vehicle.
Park brake – once the scooter comes to a complete stop the park brake
activates automatically locking the drive wheels.
OUTDOOR OPERATION & INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
While your scooter is purposed for in-home use to assist you in daily living activities; Drive DeVilbiss understands there are times you need to operate the scooter outdoors, and has designed it to perform superbly on level outdoor surfaces.
ATTENTION – When operating outdoors avoid uneven terrain, soft
surfaces, tall grass, loose gravel, loose sand, fresh water, salt water, edges
of streams, lakes or oceans. If you are unsure about a surface, avoid it.
Exposure to inclement weather should always be avoided. If you find yourself caught in inclement weather while operating your scooter, proceed to the closest shelter immediately. Completely dry your scooter before operating, charging, or storing.

IV. EMI INFORMATION
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) tests have shown to produce adverse effects on the performance and control of electrically powered mobility devices.
EMI can be produced from different sources such as cellular phones, two-way radios, radio stations, television stations, amateur radio transmitters (HAM), wireless computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and transceivers used by emergency vehicles.
The EMI waves can cause unintentional movement of the scooter, or damage to the controller. Every electrical powered mobility device has a resistance to EMI. The higher the resistance level the greater the protection. The intensity of the interference can be measured in volts per meter, V/m.
At this time, current technology is capable of achieving an immunity level of 20 V/m, which provides protection from more common sources of EMI. Your scooter, with no modifications, has an immunity level of 20 V/m.
EMI becomes more intense as you move closer to the source. The EMI produced from hand­held radios are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EMI very close to the scooter’s control system, effecting your movement and braking. The warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of your scooter.
WARNING – Do not operate hand-held transceivers such as CB (citizens
band) radios, or turn on personal communication devices, such as cellular
phones, while the scooter is powered on.
WARNING – Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or television stations, and avoid close proximity.
WARNING – If you experience unintended movement or brake release occurs, power off as soon as it is safe. Please report EMI incidents to Drive DeVilbiss.
