2.2 Identifi cation on the product
Safety
Safety information is indicated with the warning symbol.
Warning!
Follow the instructions carefully next to these warning symbols! Not paying careful attention to these instructions could result in
physical injury or damage to the scooter or the environment. Wherever possible, safety information is also provided in this manual
in the relevant chapter.
2.3 Temperature
Warning!
Avoid physical contact with the scooter’s motor. The motor is continuously in motion during use and can reach high temperatures.
After use, the motor will cool down slowly. Physical contact may cause burns.
Ensure that the scooter is not exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Certain parts of the scooter, such as the
seat, the backrest, the armrests and the steering device become hot if exposed to the sun for too long. This may cause burns or
skin irritation.
2.4 Electromagnetic radiation and interference
The scooter has been tested for compliance with the applicable requirements regarding electromagnetic radiation (EMC
requirements).
The Trophy’s immunity level is 20 volt/metre.
Note!
It cannot be excluded that electromagnetic radiation emanating from mobile telephones, medical apparatus and other sources,
may have an infl uence on the scooter.
It cannot be excluded that the scooter will interfere with the electromagnetic fi elds of, for example, shop doors, burglar alarm
systems and/or garage door openers.
In the unlikely event that such problems do occur, you are requested to notify your dealer immediately.
Powered wheelchairs and scooters can be affected by sources of radio waves, such as radio and TV transmitters, amateur radio
stations, lifts, transmitting equipment, stereo radios and mobile telephones If the scooter’s electronics are not well shielded,
sensitive electrical devices, such as shop alarm systems and garage door openers, can be affected. The scooter has been tested
for such interference. Please report any problems of this nature to your dealer immediately.
The following advices are intended to prevent the electric scooter from being driven unintentionally, which could lead to serious
injury.
1. Do not turn on any manually controlled equipment for personal communication, such as a radio transmitter or mobile
telephone, while the electric scooter is switched on.
2. Keep at a distance from transmitter equipment, such as radio and TV stations.
3. If the scooter starts making unintended movements, or if the brake goes into freewheel / neutral mode, turn off the powered
wheelchair or scooter by removing the ignition key from the lock.
4. Be aware of the fact that any accessories, components or adaptations installed on the scooter may increase the effect of radio
waves.
Note:
There is no easy way of testing the effects of radio waves on the general immunity of powered wheelchairs or scooters.
5. All cases of unintended movements of the scooter spontaneously going into freewheel / neutral mode should be reported to
your dealer or to the scooter manufacturer. When reporting, please indicate whether a source of radio waves was nearby at
the time.
