EMI Information & Life Expectancy of the Product page 4

Information regarding Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

This section contains information on the possible effects of electromagnetic

interference to your vehicle.

EMI refers to the effects electromagnetic energy might have on the control

systems of your vehicle. The interference could cause the brakes to release, the

vehicle to move by itself or damage the electronics.

There are broadly three types of sources of electromagnetic energy:

1. Hand Held, Short Range Portable Transceivers. Examples include: CB

radios, walkie-talkies, security, fire and police transceivers, mobile phones

and other devices that transmit a signal even when not in use.

2. Medium Range Mobile Transceivers. Examples include: police, fire,

ambulance and taxi transceivers.

3. Long Range Transmitters and Receivers. Examples include: radio and

television towers and amateur (HAM) radios.

There is an immunity level that has to be met by law and your scooter has been

tested to the required level. For a full technical explanation see Page 31 in this

document.

WARNING

Even though your vehicle meets the requirements it is recommended that you

follow certain precautions.

1. Do not operate hand held transceivers such as CB radios or mobile

phones while the vehicle is switched on.

2. Be aware of transmitter masts, such as television and radio stations.

Avoid getting close to them.

If your vehicle starts to operate by itself switch it off and call your service

provider. Report all faults of this type.

Life Expectancy of the Product

The life expectancy of the product is 5 years, depending on usage and product

care, so please ensure that your product is used in strict accordance with the

intended use as set out in this document and all service and maintenance

requirements are carried out as recommended.

The estimated life expectancy may be exceeded if the product is used carefully

and properly maintained, but it can also be considerably reduced by extreme or

incorrect use. Although we estimate the life expectancy for this product it does not

constitute an additional warranty.

Power Status lamp: For normal use when the ignition is switched on this lamp

will light green. It stays constant unless a fault arises. If this should happen make

a note of the number of flashes as this indicates the problem with the vehicle.

Report this information to the service department when requesting an engineer.

1 flash Battery needs recharging

2 flashes Battery voltage too low

3 flashes Battery voltage too high

4 flashes Current time limit out

5 flashes Brake fault or freewheel engaged

6 flashes Accelerator lever pulled in when ignition switched on

7 flashes Speed pot error

8 flashes Motor volt error

9 flashes Other internal error

Battery Indicator: This instrument shows the level of charge in the batteries.

When in the green area the batteries are fully charged. When in the yellow area

the batteries need recharging and when in the red area the batteries urgently

need recharging. Note: When the vehicle is climbing a steep incline or starting off,

the level may drop momentarily, this is normal.

When checking the level- CAUTION: Choose a large flat hard standing area.

Drive the vehicle on a flat concrete area at full speed and take a reading.

Speed Control Dial: This controls the top speed of your scooter. When the dial

is turned to the left, this is its slowest speed. As the dial is turned to the right the

speed will increase to a maximum, which is the highest speed. Set the speed

before you move off.

Half speed: When this button is depressed the top speed of the vehicle will be

halved. This feature is normally used in a pedestrian area. In some countries this

is the law. Check your local authority.

See photographs on page 6

Accelerator forward/reverse: Pull in the right hand lever (when sitting on the

scooter) and it will move forward. The further the lever is pulled inwards the faster

the scooter goes. Pull in the left hand lever and the scooter will reverse.

Controls- Dashboard page 7

WARNING NOTICE!!

The lever mechanism should be treated with care as it could become

damaged if misused. Do not pull both levers in at once, as this will damage

the mechanism. Carry out recommended checks.

1. (Carry out daily) Before using the scooter check the mechanism for full

and free movement. With the ignition off and the key removed pull the lever

in fully on the right hand side then release. The lever should return

immediately to the normal position. Pull the left hand lever in fully then

release. The lever should return immediately to the normal position. If the

lever does not return immediately to the normal position (it sticks) contact

your service provider immediately and

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE SCOOTER.

2. Never lean or place your body weight on the levers. This will damage the

mechanism.

3. If you have a weather proof cover on the scooter take care when removing it

especially in the tiller area. Make sure the cover does not snag the levers.

4. Do not hang objects such as bags or attach dog leads to the handlebar or

the lever mechanism.

Handbrake: This is for emergency use only. In the unlikely event that the main

braking system should fail this can be used to slow the vehicle.

Warning: If the ignition switch is turned off while the vehicle is at speed the

vehicle will come to an abrupt stop. If you are in a situation where you need to

stop abruptly use the emergency brake. Only switch off the ignition as a last

resort.
