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.

Part No. 1090132 Rev F 9 Invacare Scooters

GENERAL GUIDELINESPROCEDURE 1

EMI WARNINGS (CONTINUED)

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.

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.

Invacare Scooters 10 Part No. 1090132 Rev F

GENERAL GUIDELINES PROCEDURE 1

EMI WARNINGS (CONTINUED)

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 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 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

GENERAL GUIDELINES

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) The immunity level of this product is unknown.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

safety as the most important consideration for all.

STABILITY AND BALANCE

ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap.

WARNING

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.

PROCEDURE 3 OPERATION

OPERATION OF THE SCOOTER (FIGURES 1-5)

Before attempting to sit in the powered scooter, REMOVE the key from the ignition. This will ensure that the POWER is OFF and the scooter will not drive.

Ensure seat is properly locked before attempting transfer into or out of

OPERATION

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.

WARNING

1. Before operation of the powered scooter, review the CONTROL PANEL FEATURES section in this procedure of the manual.

2. Install and charge batteries. Refer to REPLACING BATTERIES and CHARGING THE BATTERIES in PROCEDURE 4 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. For all models except ZOOM-3, the seat can be rotated in either direction.

Refer to 90º SEAT SWIVEL ADJUSTMENT in PROCEDURE 5 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 PROCEDURE 8 in this manual.

5. Adjust speed control knob to the appropriate setting. For PANTHER MX-4 also select low/ high speed.

NOTE: For driving indoors or on uneven terrain, a slower speed (and the selection of low speed for PANTHER MX-4 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.

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.

Invacare Scooters 22 Part No. 1090132 Rev F

PROCEDURE 3OPERATION

7. To operate the scooter, depress the throttle control lever in the following manner: A. STANDARD TILLERS:

To move FORWARD - Push the RIGHT-SIDE of the throttle control lever. To move in REVERSE- Push the LEFT-SIDE of the throttle control lever. To STOP - Release the throttle control lever and the powered scooter will

quickly slow down and the brake will engage. PANTHER MX-4 - Use the hand brake lever when needing accelerated stops. See USING THE HAND BRAKE LEVER/BRAKE/BRAKE ARM in this procedure of the manual.

B. DELTA TILLERS:

To move FORWARD - Pull the RIGHT-SIDE throttle control lever rearward (toward user), or Push the LEFT-SIDE throttle control lever forward (away from user).

To move in REVERSE - Pull the LEFT-SIDE throttle control lever rearward (toward user), or Push the RIGHT-SIDE throttle control lever forward away from 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 speed-control knob. For safety reasons, reverse speed is limited to approximately 50% of forward speed.

When first learning to drive, select 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.

USING THE HAND BRAKE LEVER/BRAKE ARM (FIGURE 6)

NOTE: The hand brake lever and brake arm are only on the PANTHER MX-4 (Without Delta Tiller).
