General safety precautions
The Excite is designed to be safe in use. This can be noticed on the scooter directly in the below
features:
• When charging the scooter it cannot be driven electrically
• At too high engine and controller unit (Dynamic Rhino) the Excite will drive at half power
• With the freewheel function engaged the scooter cannot be driven electrically
• If the control lever is in neutral position the scooter cannot be driven.
• Scooter parts where might be body parts clamped between are fully covered
The Excite is meant to be used by one person. Placing a second person on the scooter is not allowed.
The driving characteristics will be influenced badly by this and the Excite will damage.
Inside the control unit (Dynamic Rhino) is a function build who prevents deep de-charge of the
batteries. The control unit reduces the speed eminently.
Please make sure when driving the scooter and performing small maintenance to the Excite there can
be no fingers injured in the space between the covers and the wheels.
Driving inclines
A very safe control feature when driving inclines is the following: if the Excite is able to drive an
incline, the incline can also be descent with reduced speed. Always drive a steep incline up first and
make sure the Excite is not too heavily loaded.
Turning the Excite on an incline is not recommended. The scooter can easily tip over.
Never drive from a pavement or incline diagonal. The scooter may tip over. Always drive off a
pavement or incline at low speed.
In areas with pedestrians it is recommended to adjust the maximum speed to a lower standard for your
and other persons safety.
Transport
Transporting the Excite inside a vehicle can be done by making the scooter as small as possible. In
this case, you dismount the chair and fold the tiller down. Always check if the scooter is not in
freewheel mode and fixate it firmly to the floor.
It is recommended to not sit in the scooter during transport. The scooter should always be lifted by two
persons, one at the front (front bumper) and one at the back of the scooter (rear bumper). Van Os
Medical accepts no responsibility for any eventual consequences.
Freewheel mode
On freewheel engagement the brakes of the Excite are not working. By disengaging the freewheel
lever the brakes will be in work again. Look at page 17 for further freewheel explanation.
Never use the freewheel mode when standing on an incline. This may cause the scooter drive by
itself.
Electro Magnetic Compatibility
A couple of European standards have been set in the field of electro magnetic interference on electric
devices. The Excite complies to these demands. In an extreme case the Excite might be sensitive to
very powerful transmitters. This may cause unexplainable faults. In this case you best turn to your
dealer.
User Manual
Excel Extice
Page 4
When using transmitters nearby the Excite, we recommend to first shut down the scooter before using
a device. Examples of transmitters can be mobile phones, walkie talkies or a 27 MC transmitter. The
Excite itself also transmits electric waves. These are within the applying standards. There might be,
however, certain unintended events, like a shop alarm going off.
Fixation belt (optional)
An optional fixtion belt can be mounted to fix the seat position (picture 1). The two parts of the belt can
be mounted below the seat with screws. The screws fixate the belt to the ground plate of the seat. By
use of a click buckle the belt can be fixated.
Picture 1
The fixation belt can only be used on the chair. During transport in a wheelchair taxi the fixation belt
may not be used as a safety belt.
Responsibility
Van Os Medical B.V. can not be held responsible for unsafe situations, accidents or damages, as a
result from:
• use for other purposes or under other circumstances than indicated in this manual. This also
contains applying other than the original replacement parts and changing the programming
adjustments of the Rhino controller
• ignoring warnings or precautions noted in this manual
• improper or insufficient maintenance
First use
Find an open area such as a park and make sure you have an assistant to help you excersize with the

Charging plug
To charge the batteries use a charger which guards the process and is convenient to charge the fitted
batteries. Your battery charger should be equipped with a 3-pole plug which fits into the charging plug
in the tiller.
Making a transfer
Make sure the Excite is always turned off and in freewheel position before making a transfer.
• move the rotion lever upwards to unlock the chair (picture 32)
• next, turn the chair 90º left or right. The chair will automatically lock on every 45º if you release
the rotation lever (picture 32)
take place on the chair and turn it back to the starting position. The chair is fitted with flipbackward
armrests. These can be flipped away to be able to make an easy side transfer. Always make sure to
flip the armrests back in the original position when seated.
Picture 32
Driving
The Naviagor can be powered up with the ignition key on the right side of the tiller. After a brief selftest
the Excite is ready to drive. By pulling the right side of the gas lever (at thumb control pushing), the
Excite moves forward. The closer you pull the lever towards you, the faster the scooter will drive. If
you release the lever the Excite will stop. For reversing please stop the scooter first. Now pull the left
side of the gas lever (a thumb control push).
User Manual
Excel Extice
Page 13
The Excite now will drive backwards, with reduced speed.
• Before you drive, first check if the chair is properly fixated.
• Make sure the tires are always on the right pressure (see technical specifications).
• Make sure the batteries are always sufficiently charged. The pointer of the battery indicator
should be in the green area.
• Should the gas lever not be in neutral position when the Excite is powered up, it will not drive.
Only after the control lever has been placed in neutral position, the Excite is ready to drive.
The neutral position is when the gas lever is not operated.
• Never take sharp turns while driving at full speed. We recommend to slow down before
making a sharp turn. We strongly recommend to avoid dangerous driving in corners.
• Always think of your own safety if you drive from the even road with the Excite. Adjust your
speed. Never drive through deep holes, water etc.
• The ideal stability and weight balance can be achieved when taking the following points into
consideration: always sit straight on the chair and place your feet as far to the front as
possible. Do not lean left or right while driving.
Driving on an incline
A very safe control feature when driving inclines is the following: if the Excite is able to drive an
incline, the incline can also be descent with reduced speed. Always drive a steep incline up first and
make sure the Excite is not too heavily loaded.
Picture 33
Driving up a hill: lean a little forward and drive as constant as possible in a straight line up (picture
33). To stop and restart driving costs extra energy.
Driving off a hill: lean a littly backward and drive carefully with low speed down the hill.
A will which is difficult to climb for the Excite needs to be avoided. When climbing very steep inclines
(over 12°) is dangerous. At sudden braking the scooter might tip over to the front or the back.
Obstacles and thresholds
Driving obstacles should be done very carefully. When driving an obstacle which is too high the Excite
might get stuck. For maximum ground clearance please see the chapter ‘Technical data’.
Picture 34
User Manual
Excel Extice
Page 14
Driving up thresholds: drive towards the threshold until the front wheel is approximately 20-50 cm
before the threshold. Now carefully drive forward and approach the threshold. As soon as the front
wheel is on the threshold you can slowly drive further until the rear wheels are also on or over the
threshold (picture 34). If this does not succeed or very difficult, please choose another route.
Driving off thresholds: drive to the threshold until the front wheel is before it. Drive off the threshold
carefully and with low speed.
Brakes
Braking can be done in different ways:
• you can slowly move the gas lever into the neutral position, to make the Excite slow down
easily
• you can just let the gas lever go, so the Excite will come to a full stop
• the Excite is also fitted with a disk brake rear with the lever on the tiller. This may be used on
eventual emergency stops
If driving down a hill the Excite might drive faster than the maximum speed possible. In this case the
control unit will slow the Excite down to reach the programmed maximum speed.
If the gas lever of the Excite is in neutral position the scooter is braked. The motor brake power is
enough to stop the scooter and keep on its place on the maximum possible incline angle (12 degrees).
At rain, snow or other slippery road conditions, please brake gently to provide sliding danger.
Battery safety
When driving on low or empty batteries, to be seen on your battery indicator, the battery safety feature
will be engaged. This provides battery damage through deep decharge. The engagement of this
feature can be noticed by the decreasing maximum speed. Drive as little as possible in this condition.
After thy system being engaged the batteries should be charged as soon as possible.
Freewheel
The Excite is equipped with a so-called freewheel function. This allows the Excite to be moved
without using the engine. Push the backrest to move the scooter. In this freewheel position the scooter
can not be driven electrically. You can engage the freewheel function by the freewheel lever on the
rear side of the scooter, just below the cover (picture 35).
Picture 35
It is important to first fully turn off the power before engaging the freewheel lever. The power needed
to push the scooter is mimimal. The brakes of the Excite are not in use during freewheel engagement.
This can be reversed by turning the freewheel function off.

exception of the warranty will be adjusted. For warranty and service you need to contact the
authorised Travelux® dealer, who supplied the Travelux®. If during a warranty period reparations are
done by another company than Van Os Medical B.V. or a not by Van Os Medical B.V. approved
company, every right on warranty comes to an end. In case of service and warranty is not given to
satisfaction by your dealer, please contact Van Os Medical B.V. We will try to get to a satisfying
solution for both parties.
