 Warning!

Do not operate the scooter unless the tiller (handlebar column) is up,

the teeth in the tiller adjustment bolt fit together, and the bolt is

fully tightened.

Do not lean against, or pull forward on, the handlebar while

mounting or dismounting from the scooter. Serious harm or injury

may occur.

Do not stretch your body out on the scooter

Such action may cause you to lose your balance or be injured. Also, pay attention

to loose clothing that could get tangled in the wheels.

Do not use your scooter under any of these circumstances:

•The road is muddy or has loose gravel

•The road is bumpy, narrow, or snow covered

•The road is beside a canal or waterway without fencing or hedges

Additionally, avoid holes where your wheels may get stuck. Do not drive at night

and or during rain or high winds. Do not make sudden turns. Do not ride on an

escalator.

Do not use a mobile phone or other wireless communication device while

driving

Also, do not charge a mobile phone or other electrical devices from your scooter.

Be careful driving on or near ramps, inclines and drops

1. Be careful while driving up a steep incline. Refer to “CLIMBING ANGLE” in

Section 9 “SPECIFICATIONS” for details.

2. In order to avoid damage or injury to the scooter the driver should not lean

against or pull on the operating lever while going up or down an incline.

3. When climbing up an incline, please drive slowly. You can set the speed dial

to a medium speed. When going down an incline, never reverse your scooter.

Set the speed dial to the lowest speed setting.

4. Do not drive through any holes in the road. Refer to “MAXIMUM GROUND

CLEARANCE” in Section 9 “SPECIFICATIONS” for details.

5. Do not pass through water covering the road unless the water is less than 1

inch deep.

6. Please drive slowly on roads with drops or dips.

3. EMI

This portion of the manual will provide the user with basic information about the

problems with EMI (electromagnetic interference), protective measures can be

used to either lessen the possibility of exposure or to minimize the degree of

exposure; this section also shows some conditions that unexpected or erratic

movements may cause.

◊ Caution

It is very important that you read this information regarding the

possible effects of electromagnetic interference on your electric

ActiveCare 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 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. This

powered scooter model as shipped, with no further modification, has an immunity

level of 20 V/m without any accessories.

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 warning listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimized.

The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:

1. Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitter-receivers with the antenna

mounted directly on the transmitting unit). Examples include: citizens band

(CB) or hand held radios, (security, fire, and police transceivers), cellular

telephones and other personal communication devices.

NOTE: Some cellular telephones transmit a signal while they are ON but not being

used.

Questions? Call 866.621.4933 or visit www.activecaremed.com.

Spitfire EX 1420 Owner’s Manual 7

2. Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire

trucks, ambulances and taxis usually have the antenna mounted on the

outside of the scooter.

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 player, and cassette players, and small

appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, are not likely to cause EMI

problems to your powered scooter.

POWERED SCOOTER ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)

EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to a 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 your scooters movement and braking. Therefore, the

warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the

control system of a powered scooter.

 Warning!

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and

TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and

cellular phones can affect motorized scooters. Following the warnings

listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or

powered scooter movement which could result in serious injuries.

1. Do not operate hand-held transceivers-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 getting 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.

5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to

the scooter manufacturer, and note whether there were sources

of EMI nearby.
