Safety Information Regarding Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Mobility Scooters are designed to operate under certain conditions. However, radio waves or electromagnetic
fields may affect the operation of the scooter. The source of EMI could be radio or television transmitters or
portable devices such as mobile phones, portable CB radios etc. Should any unintentional movement occur turn
the mobility scooter off as soon as safely possible.
Solar Energy
During periods of sunny weather, it is possible that surfaces of your scooter may reach high temperatures (as with
motor vehicles). Please take precautions if leaving the scooter in direct sunlight for any period of time. Seek shade
or cover the seat and hand controls to keep any temperature increases to a minimum.
Health Factors
Suitability for this product must be assessed on the user's current state of health. It is essential that the user
regularly monitor their ability to use the scooter safely.
General Use
Take heed of the information given in this manual regarding safety and the maintenance of your scooter. If
adhered to, your scooter should give you years of reliable mobility.
Storage and General Care
We recommend that the scooter is always stored in a dry environment such as a garage or shed to protect the
chassis and other components from corrosion. Do not leave the scooter outside during rainstorms. If the scooter is
wet, wipe with a dry cloth to ensure there is no ingress of water into the internal components of the scooter.
During everyday use, do not use in rain showers or travel through puddles. Avoid use in areas where the scooter
could become contaminated with sand or abrasive materials.
Emergency Procedures
Should your scooter behave erratically or become unresponsive while driving, release the wig-wag lever so it may
return to its neutral position and switch off the power at the key / switch. Use the emergency handbrake if
required. These procedures will stop the scooter and activate the braking system, preventing any further
uncontrolled maneuvers.
Note: Switching the power off at the key / switch can cause the scooter to stop abruptly and should only be used
to stop the scooter during an emergency as this can damage the drive unit.
