SAFETY ADVICE

• Do not carry passengers.

• Do not exceed inclines over 8 degrees (14% grade).

• Do not turn on steep inclines.

• Do not turn suddenly at high speeds.

• Do not get on or off the scooter unless the brake is on and the scooter is switched off.

• Do not switch off the scooter while the scooter is moving.

• Do not drive the scooter where you can not safely or legally walk.

• Do not attempt to drive over curbs greater than 2 inches (5cm.) in height. Doing so could cause

your scooter to turn over, causing injury or damage to the scooter. For curbs less than 2 inches, always approach them at an angle of 90 degrees and at a low speed.

• Do not drink or use a mobile phone when driving your scooter.

• Do not exceed the suggested user weight limit. Doing so, could cause personal injury and

invalidate the warranty.

• Always keep your feet on the scooter when moving.

• Consult your doctor if there is any doubt about your ability to use a scooter safely.

• Always slow down and proceed carefully when traveling over rough or uneven ground.

• For individuals with balance problems, practice getting on the scooter with the assistance of a

qualified healthcare professional.

• If equipped, DO NOT operate the scooter without anti-tip wheels installed.

• Do not use an escalator to move a scooter between floors. Serious injury could occur.

• Do not drive the scooter on an incline that has oil, water or ice film on it.

• Do not try to lift the scooter by its seat, tiller, rear chassis cover, or any removable parts. Any

of these could cause injury to the user or damage to the scooter.

• Do not use parts or accessories that are not authorized by Shoprider® Mobility Products.

• Before sitting in or exiting the scooter, REMOVE the key from the ignition. This will insure

the POWER is off and the scooter can not move under its own power.

• As a general precaution, always remove the key from the ignition while the scooter is not in use. This will prevent use by untrained and unauthorized persons.

• Do not connect any medical device to the scooter battery. This could cause failure of the device, the scooter and personal injury.

• Make sure the tiller is properly adjusted to the user or damage and injury could result.

• Shoprider® Mobility Products doesn’t recommend that scooter users be transported in a

vehicle WHILE they are in the scooter…and will not be responsible for any injury or damage that might result.

• Do not use the scooter in the rain, near a shower or in a damp bathroom. Direct exposure to rain or dampness could cause the scooter to electrically malfunction and prematurely rust.

EMI Warning

Shoprider® scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is a kind of interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radio, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the scooter’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 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.

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, and cassette players, and small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause problems to the scooter.

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 sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the scooter’s control system while using these devices. This can affect scooter movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the scooter.

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 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 scooter OFF as soon as it is safe.

4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the scooter may make it more

susceptible to EMI.

NOTE! There is no easy way to evaluate the overall immunity of the scooter.

5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or braking to your Shoprider® provider, and

note whether there are sources of EMI nearby.

WARNING: Shoprider® Mobility Products is not responsible for damage or injury incurred

due to improper and unsafe use of our scooter.
