2. SAFETY NOTICE

2.2 While Driving

■ Please carry out daily inspections. Refer to the section entitled “DAILY

CHECKING”

■ Do not move your body out of the vehicle while moving

♦ Such action may cause you to loose balance and risk injury from falling.
♦ Pay attention that your clothes do not tangle in the wheels.

■ Do not use your vehicle under the circumstances below.

♦ On surfaces that are muddy, gravel, bumpy, narrow, snowed over, icy, not guarded

2. SAFETY NOTICE

■ Ramps, inclines and drops

♦ Do not drive onto steep ramps greater than the specified gradient. Refer to the

section entitled “CLIMBING ANGLE” in “9. SPECIFICATION“

♦ Always use a low speed setting when ascending or descending a gradient.

♦ Do not drive on roads with large drops or potholes. Refer to the section entitled

“MAX. GROUND CLEARANCE” in “ 9. SPECIFICATION”.

♦ Please slow down when driving on roads with inclines.
♦ Do not make sudden turns when driving on gravel roads or ramps.
♦ Always lean forward when climbing a steep gradient

! WARNING!

♦ Do not set in the freewheel mode when driving on a gradient.
♦ Always re-engage the anti-freewheel device before use. Failure to do so may result in

injury.

♦ To prote ct yo ur sa fety, the powe r wil l automatically cut off an d ele ctromagnetic brake

system will activate while you are driving down a steep gradient (over 10°). This will
limit the speed to a safe level. Turn the power on again to re-start your scooter.

♦ Maximum User Weight Limit

Refer to section entitled “MAX. LOAD WEIGHT” in “9. SPECIFICATION “.
Overloading the weight limit may lead to damage of your scooter or cause it to
malfunction and will endanger your safety. The warranty does not cover this type of
damage.

WARNING:

Radio waves may affect scooter control.
Radio wave sources, such as radio stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters,
two-way radios, and cellular phones, can affect powered motorized scooters. Following
the warning listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or
powered scooter movement which could result in serious injury. .

1. Do not turn ON hand-held personal communication devices, such as citizens 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 interference from radio wave sources.
(Note: There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on 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.

NEVER LIFT THE SCOOTER UP BY THE SHROUD

2.4 EMI

This portion of the content will provide the user with basic information that describes
the problems with EMI, known sources of EMI, protective measures either to lessen the
possibility or exposure or to minimize the degree of exposure, and suggested action
should unexpected or erratic movement occur.

Caution: It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible
effects of electromagnetic interference on your electric scooter.

■ ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) FROM RADIO WAVE

SOURCES

Powered vehicle may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is
interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations,
TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones.
The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the powered vehicle to release its
brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended direction

s. It can also permanently

damage the powered vehicle’s control system. The intensity of the interfering EM
energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each powered vehicle 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. This powered vehicle model as shipped, with no
further modification, has an immunity level of 20 V/m without any accessories.

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 warning 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 ( transmitter-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.
Note: Some mobile telephones and similar transmit signal while they are ON, even
when not being used;

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 scooter.

2. SAFETY NOTICE

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

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

Note: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers,
AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD player, 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 powered vehicle.

■ POWERED VEHICLE ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)

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 closer to the powered vehicle’s control system while using
these devices. This can affect powered vehicle movement and braking. Therefore,
the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the
control system of the powered vehicle.

■ WAR N I NG S

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations,
amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect
powered vehicles and motorized scooter. Following the warnings listed below should
reduce the chance of unintended brake release or powered vehicle movement which
could result in serious injury.

1. Do not operate hand-held transceivers-receivers), such as citizens band (CB) radios,

or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the
powered vehicle 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 vehicle OFF as

soon as it is safe;

4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered vehicle,

may make it more susceptible to EMI ( Note: There is no easy way to evaluated
their effect on the overall immunity of the powered vehicle);

5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the powered

vehicle manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of EMI nearby;

■ IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1.20 Volts per meter ( V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level
against EMI ( the higher the level, the greater the protection);

2.This product has an immunity level of 20 V/m without any accessories and
connected to it
