ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
EMI WARNINGS
CAUTION: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS
INFORMATION REGARDING THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED
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. 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.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
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 warnings listed, your risk to EMI will be
minimized.
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1)Hand-held Portable transceivers (transmitters-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 cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals 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 vehicle; and
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 players, 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 scooter.
Part No. 111839511
®
Page 12
POWERED SCOOTER 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 close to the powered
scooter's control system while using these devices. This can affect powered
scooter movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed are
recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of
the 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 powered scooters. Following the warnings listed should
GENERAL GUIDELINES
reduce the chance of unintended brake release or powered scooter
movement which could result in serious injury.
1)Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters receivers), such
GENERAL GUIDELINESSECTION 1
EMI WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
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 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 EMI (Note: There
is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the
powered scooter); and
5)Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the
powered scooter 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 (as of May 1994) (the higher the level, the greater the
protection).
2)While this product as shipped has been tested and is immune to signal
levels up to 20V/m, the maximum immunity level of the product is
unknown.

GENERAL GUIDELINESSECTION 1
SAFETY/HANDLING
Safety and Handling of the powered scooter requires the close attention of the user.
This manual points out the most common procedures and techniques involved in the
safe operation and maintenance. It is important to practice and master these safe
techniques until you are comfortable in maneuvering the powered scooter.
Use this information only as a basic guide. The techniques that are discussed have
been used successfully by many.
Individual users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities that may differ
from those described in this manual. Invacare recognizes and encourages each individual
to try what works best for him/her in overcoming obstacles that they may encounter;
however, ALL WARNINGS and CAUTIONS given in this manual MUST be followed.
Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new powered scooter user with
safety as the most important consideration for all.
STABILITY AND BALANCE
WARNING
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the SEAT
POSITIONING STRAP is an option on this powered scooter (you may
order with or without the Seat Positioning Strap), Invacare strongly
recommends ordering the Seat Positioning Strap as an additional safeguard
for the powered scooter user.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
To assure stability and proper operation of your powered scooter, you must, at all
times, maintain proper balance. Your powered scooter has been designed to remain
upright and stable during normal daily activities.
PERCENTAGE OF WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat
or pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
Many activities require the powered scooter owner to reach, bend and transfer in and
out of the powered scooter. These movements cause a change to the normal balance,
the center of gravity, and the weight distribution of the powered scooter. To determine
and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring
activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional
BEFORE attempting active use of the powered scooter.
Proper positioning is essential for your safety.

SECTION 1GENERAL GUIDELINES
STAIRWAYS
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to move an occupied powered scooter between floors
using a stairway. Use an elevator to move an occupied powered scooter
between floors.
If moving a powered scooter between floors by means of a stairway, the
occupant MUST be removed and transported independently of the
powered scooter. Extreme caution is advised when it is necessary to move
an UNOCCUPIED powered scooter up or down the stairs. Invacare
recommends disassembling the scooter and transporting the components
(five (5) components) independently up or down the stairs. Use ONLY
secure, non-detachable parts on each component for hand-hold supports.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
DO NOT attempt to lift a powered scooter by any removable (detachable)
parts. Lifting by means of removable (detachable) parts may result in injury
to the user or assistants or damage to the powered scooter.
ESCALATORS
DO NOT use an escalator to move a powered scooter between floors.
Serious bodily injury may occur.
Powered scooter without the batteries can weigh between 90 to 200 lbs.
(depending on the model). Use proper lifting techniques (lift with your legs)
to avoid injury.
Follow this procedure for moving the powered scooter between floors when an
elevator is NOT available:
1. Remove the occupant from the powered scooter.
2. Disassemble the scooter. Refer to TRANSPORTING in SECTION 9 of this manual.
3. Carefully move the powered scooter components up or down the stairway.
4. Once all the components of the scooter are transported to the desired location

OPERATION OF THE SCOOTER
WARNING
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure that
all attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage
may result.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending,
reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence
of a qualified healthcare professional BEFORE attempting active use of the
powered scooter.
Ensure seat is properly locked before attempting transfer into or out of the
powered scooter. Attempting unsafe transfers may cause a fall from the
powered scooter resulting in bodily injury.
For individuals with balance problems, practice transferring activities
WITH AN ASSISTANT in the presence of a qualified healthcare
professional. DO NOT attempt to transfer into or out of the powered
scooter without assistance.
OPERATION
1. Before operation of the powered scooter, review CONTROL PANEL FEATURES in
this section of the manual.
2. Install and charge batteries. Refer to REPLACING THE BATTERIES and
CHARGING THE BATTERIES in SECTION 8 in this manual.
3. Transferring to and from the seat can be accomplished in one (1) of two (2) ways:
A. Flipping up the armrest makes entering/exiting easier.
B. Rotate seat to the direction of transfer. Refer to 90° SEAT SWIVEL
ADJUSTMENT in SECTION 4 in this manual.
4. Once the seat is locked in the forward-facing position and both armrests are in the
DOWN position, adjust the tiller to a comfortable angle. Refer to TILLER ANGLE
ADJUSTMENT in SECTION 6 in this manual.
5. Adjust speed control knob to the appropriate setting.
NOTE: For driving indoors or on uneven terrain, a slower speed is recommended. For soft terrain
or steep inclines (no greater than 8º), a faster speed may be necessary.
6. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position.
WARNING
ALWAYS depress the throttle control lever gradually. This will ensure
smooth safe starts.
NOTE: Throttle control levers are teetered such that moving one (1) will also move the opposite
side throttle control lever.
Part No. 111839523

Page 24
SECTION 3OPERATION
7. To operate the scooter, depress the throttle control lever in the following manner:
•TO MOVE FORWARD - Push the RIGHT-SIDE throttle control lever
forward (away from user) or pull the LEFT-SIDE throttle control lever
rearward (toward user).
•TO MOVE IN REVERSE - Push the LEFT-SIDE throttle control lever forward
(away from user) or pull the RIGHT-SIDE throttle control lever rearward
(toward user).
•TO STOP - Release the throttle control lever and the powered scooter will
quickly slow down and the brake will engage.
OPERATION
NOTE: To equip the scooter for left hand operation, contact a qualified technician.
The powered scooter is equipped with a "proportional" control meaning that the farther
you depress the throttle control lever, the faster the powered scooter will travel. With
a proportional control, you can drive as slowly in the high speed setting as you can in
the low speed setting. Your top speed, however, is limited by the setting of the speedcontrol knob. For safety reasons, reverse speed is limited to approximately 50% of
forward speed.
When first learning to drive, adjust speed control knob for a SLOW speed and try to
drive the powered scooter AS SLOWLY as possible by depressing the throttle control
lever only slightly. This exercise will help you learn to utilize the full potential of the
proportional control and allow you to start and stop smoothly.
BRAKE RELEASE LEVER (FIGURE 2)
Ensure that the brake-release lever is in the ENGAGED position before
driving. There should be an audible "click" when stopping and starting.
BRAKE RELEASE LEVER - Manually engages and disengages the brake. The brake
release lever is located under the shroud near the anti-tipper on the left side.
CAUTION
The brake must be ENGAGED (lever PUSHED IN) in normal driving conditions.
Activation of the throttle control lever automatically releases the brake so that the
powered scooter can drive. Releasing the throttle control lever automatically engages
the brake so as to prevent the powered scooter from rolling on its own.
When the brake release lever is DISENGAGED (lever PULLED OUT) and the key is
removed, the powered scooter can be pushed. The powered scooter CANNOT be
driven with the brake in the DISENGAGED (lever PULLED OUT) position.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES
WARNING
Never attempt to recharge the batteries by attaching cables directly to the
battery terminals or clamps.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries and operate the powered
scooter at the same time.
CAUTION
New batteries MUST be fully charged prior to initial use of the powered
scooter.
Always charge new batteries before initial use or battery life will be reduced.
As a general rule, you should recharge your batteries as frequently as
possible to assure the longest possible life and to minimize required
charging time. Plan to recharge them when you do not anticipate using the
powered scooter.
The range per battery charge using recommended batteries should be approximately five
(5 ) to nine (9) hours of typical operation. Extensive use on inclines may substantially
reduce per charge mileage.
WARNING
NEVER leave the charger unattended if the circuit breaker or charger trips
repeatedly - IMMEDIATELY unplug charger and contact dealer or a
qualified technician.
