Safety Information Regarding Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Scooters and powerchairs 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 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 has been 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 whilst driving, release
the wig-wag lever so it may return to its neutral position and switch off the power at the
key / switch. These procedures will stop the scooter and activate the braking system,
preventing any further uncontrolled manoeuvres.
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.
