2. IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
»
When driving down a ramp or uneven terrain, keep the scooter’s speed adjustment
set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a safely controlled driving.
»
If the speed is too fast, release the throttle control lever, let the scooter stop. When
you feel that you again have control of your scooter, push the throttle control lever
forward and continue safely driving. To prevent any danger, do not turn around at
high speed on ascending, descending ramp.
2.5 CAUTIONS WHEN CLIMBING
»
The maximum height of obstacle and curb that scooter can
climb is up to 10 cm with run-up (A).
»
The maximum gap that scooter can drive over is 15-20 cm (B).
»
Always overcome obstacles straight on at 90 degrees, in
one stroke, do not stop halfway! Firstly, make sure the front
wheels of the scooter is perpendicular to the obstacle,
approach the obstacle slowly until the front wheels touch the
obstacle, increase the speed and ensure that the front wheels
and rear wheels have moved over the obstacles, and then you
may reduce the speed.
»
When driving scooter on ramp, adjust body centre of gravity
for scooter stability.
Never attempt to overcome an obstacle when on an uphill or downhill gradient or it
may increase the chance of tipping!
Adjust the seatback into an upright position before climbing an obstacle, or it may
increase the chance of tipping!
2.6 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE AND WARNINGS
It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible effects of
Electromagnetic Interference on your mobility scooter.
Mobility scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering
electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such a radio stations, TV stations, amateur
radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and mobile phones. The interference (from radio wave
sources) can cause the mobility scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended
directions. It can also permanently damage the mobility scooter control system. The intensity of the
interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each mobility scooter can resist EMI
up to certain intensity. This is called its “immunity 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. The
immunity level of this mobility scooter model is not known.
Тhere 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 warnings listed below, your risk
to EMI will be minimized.
