•DO NOT exceed inclines over 6 degrees (10% 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 drive the scooter on the road, street or highway.

•DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs greater than 2 inches in height. 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 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, 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, turn scooter switch to off position. This will

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

•As a general precaution, always turn scooter off 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.

•DO NOT use the scooter in the rain or near any other water source where the scooter

may get wet. Direct exposure to rain or dampness could cause damage to the scooter

electrical components.

•For maximum battery life, make sure to fully charge batteries for up to 12 hours prior

to first use.

EMI WARNING

12/7/2006

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.

12/7/2006

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® is not responsible for damage or injury incurred due to

improper and unsafe use of our scooter.

SCOOTER TILLER CONTROLS (FIG 4)

Speed Controls

The speed control allows you to set a speed between slow (turtle) and fast (rabbit).

Battery Level Indicator Gauge

Where the needle sits, shows the amount of charge in your batteries. The amount of

charge will only show at its true level when the scooter is in drive. Always charge the

batteries completely before beginning out on any journey.

Caution – Do not allow the gauge needle to go down completely as complete

discharge of the batteries could cause irreversible battery damage.

Horn

A yellow button next to power switch on tiller operates the horn.

Hand Lever Controls

The left hand lever controls the reverse and the right hand lever controls the forward

motion. The amount of pressure applied to each lever will determine the speed the scooter

travels at up to the speed selected. Release the hand lever and the scooter will

automatically come to a stop as the electromagnetic brake is applied to the motor.

On/Off Switch

The On/Off switch is located on the tiller. When the unit is in the On position the switch will

display a red light and the battery gauge needle will move. There may be a slight delay

before the hand lever control can be operated, while the main controller checks the circuits.

Electromagnetic Brake

The brake is automatically operated when the hand control levers are pressed or released.

There is a slight delay when the scooter accelerates and decelerates; this allows the

scooter to start smoothly and come to a smooth stop.

you to disengage the drive mechanism and push the scooter while in freewheel mode. To

disengage the drive mechanism (neutral), push the lever up (the scooter can now be

pushed). To re-engage the drive mechanism (drive), push the lever down (now the unit

may be driven).

Note: The scooter will not operate while the drive/freewheel lever is in the neutral position

(forward). The scooter must be turned off, lever pushed downward (drive position) and then

turned on in order to reset the circuits.

WARNING! Always re-engage the free wheeling device after use. Failure to do so

may result in injury.

Anti-tip wheels

The anti-tip wheels are located at the rear of the scooter frame (Fig 5). The scooter should

not be used unless the anti-tipping wheels are in place.

Battery Pack (Fig. 6)

The battery pack is specially designed for easy access and transportability. The reset

button is located on the battery pack. This reset button is designed to protect the

electronics on your scooter. If this button pops the scooter will not turn on, nor operate,

simply push button to reset. The 3-pin plug-in port is on the battery pack and serves two

purposes; connecting batteries to scooter and charging the battery pack. The plug-in port

also has a release button; that prevents the connections from coming apart. The 3-pin

round plug is removed by gently pressing the release button while pulling plug out. The

battery pack is held onto the unit by Velcro straps lining the bottom of the battery pack and

unit.

combination of 13 numbers and letters. Shoprider recommends that you write the serial

number down on the back of this manual for future reference. The battery pack is easily

removed (refer to Fig. 6). Pull up firmly to release pack from unit.
