GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SCOOTER

10

WARNING! Never reach or lean over the top of
the seat back. This may damage the backrest and

cause you to fall.

WARNING! Do not use the armrests for any

weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause
the scooter to tip, which may result in a fall from the
scooter and personal injury.

WARNING! Do not put all of your weight on one
side of the scooter deck. Such use may cause

the scooter to tip.

WARNING! Even though your scooter may be

capable of handling greater obstacles, we
recommend that you do not attempt to negotiate a curb
that has a height greater than 2” (5cm). Doing so could
cause instability in your scooter. Riding over curbs or
obstacles can cause tipping and serious bodily harm. If
you have any doubt that you can safely cross any curb
or obstacle, ALWAYS ASK FOR HELP. Be aware of
your riding skills and personal limitations. You may need
to remove or cover threshold strips between rooms and
install a ramp at entry or exit doors.

WARNING! Do not try to climb an obstacle when
on an incline.
WARNING! Do not drive over an obstacle with
just one wheel.
WARNING! Do not drive on uneven terrain and/or
soft surfaces.

tub, pool, or sauna. Rain, snow, salt, mist/spray
conditions, and icy/slippery surfaces can damage the
scooter components or cause the scooter frame to
prematurely rust.

WARNING! Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or

cold; it may affect the temperature of
upholstered and non-upholstered components on the
scooter. Exercise caution when using your scooter in
extremely hot or cold conditions.

WARNING! Do not tow your scooter. Towing may

exceed the maximum speed threshold, resulting
in damage to critical components of the scooter.

WARNING! Use extreme caution when it is

necessary to move an unoccupied scooter up or
down stairs. Remove the seat, batteries, and any
accessories before attempting the transfer. Use proper
lifting techniques and use only solid, non-removable
frame components to lift the scooter with multiple
physically capable attendants. Do not lift or move your
scooter or seating system by grasping or holding onto
any of its removable parts, including the armrest(s),
seat cushions, seatback, or shrouds.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SCOOTER

12

WARNING! When your scooter is used with any

type of lift/elevation devices, always turn off the
power of the scooter; make sure the scooter is not in
“freewheel” mode and do NOT sit on your scooter.
Failure to follow this may result in unintended
movement and personal injury or product damage.

WARNING! Never use your scooter to negotiate

stairs or escalators.

WARNING! Never sit on the scooter while it is in

a moving vehicle.

WARNING! It is dangerous to transfer to and

from your scooter on your own. It requires good
balance and agility. Be aware that there is a point during
every transfer when the seat is not below you.

WARNING! To make a safe transfer: Always turn

off the power before you transfer to or from your
scooter. If you fail to do so you may touch the throttle
control lever and cause your scooter to move when you
do not expect it. Make sure motor locks are engaged;
this keeps the scooter from moving when you transfer.
Work with your health care professional to learn how to
position your body and how to support yourself during a
transfer. Have someone help you until you are sure you
do a safe transfer on your own. Move your scooter as
close as you can to the seat you are transferring to.
Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can.
This will reduce the risk that you will miss the seat or
fall.

WARNING! Never transport the scooter in the
front seat of a vehicle. It may shift and interfere

with the driver.

WARNING! Always secure the scooter so that it
cannot roll or shift.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SCOOTER

13

WARNING! Should the fittings on your seating

system become loose, please call your approved
service provider.
WARNING! Replace worn or damaged upholstery
immediately to reduce the risk of fire hazard.

WARNING! Be aware that washing of
upholstered items may reduce the fabric’s

resistance to flammability.

WARNING! Radio wave sources, such as radio

stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones ,can
affect motorised scooter control. Following the warnings
listed below should reduce the chance of unintended
brake release or motorised 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 motorised
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 motorised scooter OFF as soon as it is
safe;

4) Be aware that adding accessories or components,

or modifying the motorised scooter, may make it
more susceptible to interference from radio wave
sources (Note: There is no easy way to evaluate
their effect on the overall immunity of the
motorised scooter); and

5) Report all incidents of unintended movement or

brake release to the motorised scooter
manufacturer, and note whether there is a radio
wave source nearby.

8.6 DRIVING ON AN INCLINE

TIPPING HAZZARD!

When driving on an incline reduce your speed. Lean
your body forward to increase your stability and to avoid
tipping backwards. Always avoid leaning backwards
while driving up an incline. Observe the safe climbing
angle in the product specifications and always access
the driving surface, as this can be a factor for safe
incline driving (For example ice and leaves can cause
loss of wheel traction and prevent safe incline driving).

Avoid stopping and re-starting on an incline if possible.
If you do need to stop, re-start driving very slowly and
then slowly increase your speed smoothly.

Avoid leaning backward Lean forwards to increase
(not recommended). stability (recommended).

NOTE: Maximum incline angle = 8 degrees !

The range per battery charge, using recommended
batteries, should be approximately 8 to 12 hours of
typical operation. Extensive use on inclines may
substantially reduce per charge mileage.

9.1 BATTERY STATUS DISPLAY

When the key is switched

“ON”, the battery gauge will

display the battery power
capacity by indicating red,
yellow and green areas
respectively.
Green area indicates a full
charge from the
battery. Red area
indicates low power.
The remaining power
indicated by the
battery gauge will be varied by the actual driving time
and how you drive. Repeated starting, stopping or
climbing will consume the power more quickly.

If the vehicle is under a heavier load, such as fast
acceleration or driving up inclines, the battery status
display may move towards the red zone.
This may not indicate the actual status of the batteries.

After a journey, the battery status display may move
towards the green zone after the scooter has been
turned off for a long period of time.

If a battery status display is in the red zone at the end
of a journey, the battery must be charged immediately.
Otherwise, it can lead to battery damage.

1100..EEMMII

This portion of the content will provide the user with
basic information about the problems with EMI
(electromagnetic interference), protective measures can
be used to either lessen the possibility of exposure or to
minimize the degree of exposure; this section also
shows some conditions that unexpected or erratic
movements may cause.

It is very important that you read this

information regarding the possible effects of
electromagnetic interference on your electric KYMCO
SCOOTER.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) FROM
RADIO WAVE SOURCES

Powered scooters 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 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 interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per
meter (V/m). Each powered scooter can resist EMI up to

a certain intensity 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 scooter model as shipped, with no further
modification, has an immunity level of 20 V/m without
any accessories.

EMI

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) or hand held radios,(security, fire, and police
transceivers), cellular telephones and other personal
communication devices.

NOTE: some cellular telephones transmit a
signal while they are ON, even though they are
not being used.

2. Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those

used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and taxis
usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of
the scooter.

3. Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as

commercial broadcast transmitters (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, are not likely to cause EMI
problems to your powered scooter.

POWERED SCOOTER ELECTROMAGNETIC
INTERFERENCE (EMI)

EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves
closer to a 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 close to the

powered scooter’s control system while using these

devices; this can affect your scooters movement and
braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are
recommended to prevent possible interference with the
control system of a powered scooter.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources

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

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 scooter is turned ON.

2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or

TV stations, and try to avoid getting 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 EMI.

5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or

brake release to the scooter manufacturer, and note
whether there were sources of EMI nearby.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

20 Volts per meter (V/m) is generally a useful
immunity level against EMI (the higher the level, the
greater the protection).
This product has an immunity level of 20 V/m without
any accessories connected to it.
