INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on insisting on the best. Shoprider Powerchairs are the
ultimate combination of style and comfort. The 6Runner features support easy
maneuverability and smooth control for today’s active lifestyle.
The innovative design of the 6Runner includes articulating double frames that
move in any direction. This intelligent feature keeps all 6 wheels on the
ground at all times, even when driving on uneven terrain, hence the name
6Runner. Combine this with the programmable joystick controller, fully
adjustable footplate and arm assemblies, flat-free tires, deluxe (reclining)
captain seat, easy access batteries and quick-change color shrouds. For a
complete powerchair package we know that your 6Runner Powerchair will
provide, many years of mobility, and freedom to go out into the world.
This manual contains important information regarding the safe use of your
Shoprider Powerchair. Please read this manual carefully and thoroughly
before using your Powerchair and make sure you understand all the
instructions.

EMI WARNING
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from Radio Wave Sources
Powered electric chairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference,
which is a kind of 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 power chairs to release its brakes, move by itself or move in
unintended directions. This can also permanently damage the powered chair’s
control system.
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 talkies”, 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.
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 problems to your Powerchair.

Powered Chair 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 sources
(transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high
levels of EM energy very close to the Powerchair’s control system while using
these devices. This can affect Powerchair movement and braking. Therefore,
the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference
with the control system of the Powerchair.
WARNINGS
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 Powerchair is turned ON.
2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid
close contact.
3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the Powerchair OFF
as soon as it is safe.
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the Powerchair,
may make it more susceptible to EMI.
NOTE! There is no easy way to evaluate the overall immunity of the
Powerchair.
5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or braking to the Powerchair
provider, and note whether there are sources of EMI nearby.

Safety Instructions
1. Do not drive the Powerchair without reading this manual.
2. Do not exceed the safe climbing maximum angle (Fig. 4).
3. Do not use the joystick in an erratic manner when going up or down an
incline.
4. Do not carry passengers or exceed the maximum weight limit (Table 2).
5. Do not turn off the joystick controller by switching the On/Off Button
when moving at any speed. This will bring the electromagnetic brakes on
immediately and could cause damage to the joystick controller.
6. Do not drive over uneven and soft terrain (soft dirt, loose gravel, deep
grass).
7. Do not attempt to mount a curb height above 2 inches.
8. Do not mount or dismount the Powerchair unless the electromagnetic
brakes are engaged and the joystick controller is off.
9. Do not operate the Powerchair if the unit is in freewheel mode.
10. Do not use on the road, except when crossing between sidewalks.
11. Do not sit on the Powerchair when in a vehicle, but transfer to a vehicle
seat.
12. Do not exceed any grade over 6 degrees (10%).
13. Always stop fully before changing forward or reverse direction.
14. Always engage a slow speed when going down gradients (move the
joystick slowly towards center position to reduce the speed).
15. Always approach and climb over curbs at slow speed.
16. Always approach curbs and gradients at 90 degrees.
17. Always use the safety belt.
18. Always keep feet on the footrest while driving.
19. Always make sure the batteries are fully charged before setting out on a
journey.
20. Always charge the Powerchair in a well ventilated area to prevent any
possible risk.

21. Always check that the drive wheels are engaged. Someone may have
left the Powerchair in freewheel mode.
22. Always reduce your speed when turning sharply.
23. Avoid turning sharply on a slope or gradient.
24. To brake in an emergency simply release the joystick.
25. Always try to find a “dropped curb” or “curb cutout” whenever possible.
26. Always keep your Powerchair properly maintained.
27. Never try to use your Powerchair beyond it’s limitations as described in
this manual.
28. Always put seat in most upright position whenever driving up an incline.
Important Notes
The Shoprider Powerchair is designed to assist in your individual mobility needs.
Any usage outside of the guidelines in this manual may result in damage to the
chair or injury to the user or third party.
Please do not lift the wheelchair by the armrests.
First Time Use
Prior to using your 6Runner Powerchair for the first time, you must charge the
batteries fully (refer to Battery Charging Procedures). Charging may take up to
12 hours. Charging the batteries completely prior to first time use will benefit
battery efficiency and life of batteries.
