SAFETY ADVICE
• DO NOT carry passengers.
• DO NOT exceed inclines over 10 degrees (17% 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 high curbs. Doing so could cause your scooter to turn
over, causing injury or damage to the scooter.
• 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 assistance
of a qualified healthcare professional.
• DO NOT use an escalator to move a scooter. 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, 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®.
• 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.
• DO NOT transport in a vehicle WHILE seated on the scooter. Shoprider® will not be
responsible for any injury or damage that might result.
• For maximum battery life, make sure to fully charge batteries for up to 12 hours prior

EMI WARNING
Shoprider® Flagship ™ 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.
