Safety Information
Read and understand these Warnings and the entire manual before using your Model 140T/140F Scooter. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in damage to the vehicle or serious injury. NOTE: The caster wheels may NOT
prevent the scooter from tipping if scooter is used improperly.
WARNING!
This vehicle is not a medical device and is NOT intended for use by those with mobility problems or
medical disabilities.
1. DO NOT exceed the specifications of this unit, modify
this unit in anyway, or use the unit for a purpose other
than as intended.
2. DO NOT operate this unit if your health or
medications you are taking cause you to feel dizzy, affect
your vision, or in any way impact your thought process,
coordination, or ability to safely operate the unit.
Check with your physician should you experience any of
these symptoms.
3. DO NOT operate this unit after consuming any
alcoholic beverages.
EMC Part: 44000700 • Rev.02 • 04/19/06

4. DO NOT transfer “on” or “off” the unit until it is
turned “OFF”, completely stopped, and when it is on a
stable and level surface.
5. DO NOT attempt to ride over curbs or other
obstruction higher than 2 inches.
6. DO NOT stop when going up an incline. If you must
do so, always lean forward to shift the center of gravity
and prevent the unit from tipping.
7. DO NOT climb inclines that pose a concern for
stability.
ELECTRIC
MOBILITY
Model 140T/140F Owner’s Manual
8. DO NOT drive across an incline or attempt to turn
while on an incline.
9. DO NOT back down an incline or allow the unit to be
backed down an incline.
10. DO NOT turn off the power while the unit is moving.
11. ALWAYS remember vehicle capacity is limited to one
person only. This unit is not approved for towing or for
weights in excess of the published maximum.
12. ALWAYS drive straight up and down inclines.
13. ALWAYS turn the power off when the unit is not in
use. This will not only extend the life of the charge in
the battery but will keep the unit from being
accidentally moved.
14. ALWAYS use a grounded receptacle. Use of a non-
grounded receptacle could result in an electrical shock.
15. ALWAYS reduce speed when making a turn.
16. ALWAYS keep arms and legs within the confines of
the unit.
17. USE EXTRA CAUTION when climbing inclines
(ramps, hills, driveways, etc.).
18. USE CAUTION when braking on an incline or wet or
slippery surfaces as the unit will take longer to come to
a complete stop.
19. USE CAUTION when operating the unit in bad
weather or driving through water as moisture could
affect the control system or other parts of the unit
either temporarily or permanently.
20. OPERATOR must remain seated when the unit is
moving.
21. NEVER hose off your vehicle or allow it to come in
direct contact with water.
22. NEVER use your unit in a shower or steam room.
23. NEVER charge batteries that may be frozen.

Important Information Regarding Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) on
your scooter.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) refers to the effects that outside sources of electromagnetic energy (radio and
television broadcasts, CB radios, garage door openers, cellular telephones, etc.) might have on the control systems of your
scooter. The interference from these sources could cause the scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or to move in
an unintended direction. EMI could also result in permanent damage to the control system.
The sources of electromagnetic energy can be broadly classified into three types:
• Hand held short-range portable transceivers — These are transmitter/receivers with the antenna mounted
directly on the unit. Examples include: citizen band (CB) radios, “walkie-talkies”, security, fire and police transceivers,
cellular telephones, and devices that transmit signals even when not in use.
• Medium range mobile transceivers — These usually have the antenna mounted outside of a vehicle or building.
Examples include: police, fire, ambulance and taxi transceivers.
• Long range transmitters and receivers — These usually have the antenna mounted on a tower. Examples
include: commercial radio/television broadcasts and amateur (HAM) radios.

ELECTRIC
MOBILITY
Model 140T/140F Owner’s Manual
Other types of hand-held devices like cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM radios, and small appliances like hair
dryers or electric shavers may also generate electromagnetic energy, but it is such a small amount that, as far as we know,
no EMI problems should occur with these devices.
The intensity of interference from electromagnetic energy is measured in volts per meter (v/m), which refers to the
strength of the electrical source (voltage) as it relates to the distance away from the object being considered (in meters).
Resistance of a scooter to a certain EMI intensity is commonly called its “immunity level.” A level of 20 volts/meter is a
generally achievable and useful immunity level against interference from radio wave sources (the higher the immunity level,
the greater the protection).
Your scooter has been tested and found to meet the required immunity level for Electromagnetic Interference (20 v/m).

WARNING!
Even with an immunity level of 20 volt/meter, certain precautions must be followed
to ensure that your vehicle will not be affected by outside electromagnetic sources.
•Do not operate hand-held transceivers such as citizen band (CB) radios or turn on powered communication
devices such as cellular phones while the scooter is turned on.
• Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio and television stations, and avoid coming close to them.
• If an unintended movement should occur while operating the scooter, turn the power “off” as soon as it is safe to
do so.
• Be aware that if you do operate any electrically powered accessories, radios, cellular phones, or other devices, that
your scooter may become more susceptible to interference from outside electromagnetic sources.
• Report all incidents of unintended movement or unexpected brake releases to Electric Mobility’s customer service
department.
