Only one person at a time can ride an Invacare Mobility Scooter.

Maximum load is 127 kgs / 280 lbs.

Turn key off before getting on or off your scooter.

Always drive carefully with your feet on the floorboard and be aware of others in your area.

Always use pedestrian crossings where possible. Take extreme care crossing roads.

Do not drive on slopes exceeding 8 degrees, and take extreme care when turning on slopes.

Do not use full power when turning sharp corners.

Do not drive the scooter unless the seat and the tiller are locked and secured in the driving position.

Do not use the scooter if the rear anti-tip wheels are damaged or removed.

Take great care and use low speeds for backing up, riding downhill, uneven surfaces and kerb

climbing.

Scooter may not operate well in high humidity.

Never put your scooter in neutral on slopes.

Follow all traffic laws when you ride in the vicinity of public roads.

Our recommendations may occasionally differ from those of your Therapeutic Adviser or physician,

as they have a better understanding of your abilities. Where this is the case, you must follow their

advice, they are better placed to tell you what is suitable for you and what is not.

Do not use your scooter when your driving ability is impaired by medication.

Under no circumstances should the scooters top speed be increased, to do so will infringe Road

Traffic Act Regulations.

Please make sure that the seat and all moving parts are secure before mounting the scooter.

Do not carry heavy objects on the scooter.

Do not hang bags off the back of the backrest.

Do not use the scooter on stairs or escalators.

Extreme care must be taken when fitting rear mounted accessories. Any weight put on the

rear of the scooter will compromise stability, resulting in the potential of the scooter tipping

backwards.

Care should be exercised when using oxygen in close proximity to electrical circuits. Can

tact your oxygen supplier for instructions in the safe use of oxygen.

Care must be taken when prescribing a scooter to an amputee client. It is imperative that a

full stability evaluation is carried out to ensure that the user is safe, and the risk of the

scooter from tipping is minimalized.

This electric vehicle was successfully tested in accordance with international

standards as to its compliance with EMI regulations. However, Electromagnetic

Fields, such as those generated by radio and television transmitters, and cellular

phones, can influence the function of the electric vehicle. Also, the electrics used

in our vehicles can generate a low level of EMI, which however remain within the

tolerances permitted by law. For these reasons we ask you to please observe the

following precautions:

DANGER OF MALFUNCTION DUE TO EMI

zDo not switch on or operate portable transceivers or communication devices

when the vehicle is switched on.

zAvoid getting near strong radio and television transmitters

zIn case the vehicle should be set in motion unintentionally or the brakes are

released, switch it off immediately.

zAdding electrical accessories and other components or modifying the vehicle

in any way can make it susceptible to EMI. Keep in mind that there is no sure

way to determine the effect such modifications will have on the overall

immunity of the electric system.

zReport all occurrences of unintentional movement of the vehicle, or release

of the electronic brakes to the manufacturer.

HEAT AND FIRE WARNING

The scooter is made of metal and plastic materials and, as with all products, it

can absorb heat from the sun when exposed to sunlight. This can result in the

surfaces of the scooter becoming hot, so take care in using it and touching the

surfaces if it is left or used in such circumstances.

The seat and backrest material have been tested to ensure compliance with ISO

requirements for cigarette and match flame equivalent and are non-flammable,

but care must be exercised if using cigarettes or other smoking products, or

sources of heat, not to drop them on the seat or back where they can become

trapped between contact points on the scooter.

system; this takes the scooter out of freewheel mode.

Before beginning your journey with your new scooter, make sure that the

scooter is on a level surface and clear of any obstacles. Although your

scooter is able to climb slopes, it is safer to practice on a level surface.

driving:

zadjust seat height and location.

zadjust the armrest width.

2. Sit on scooter and turn on the key. All battery gauge LED Lights should be lit.

The self-diagnostic warning lights should not be blinking.

3. When your hands rest comfortably on the handlebars, the thumb control levers

should be within reach. The right lever moves the scooter forward, the left one

moves it backward. When you release the thumb lever, the scooter will stop.

NOTE: This scooter has an automatic braking systems. Release the thumb

control and the brakes will stop the scooter.

4. Steer the scooter by turning the whole tiller in the direction your want to go.

5. Practice driving where there are no obstacles. Start at the slowest speed and

drive forward and backward; make some turns. As you get more comfortable

you can increase the speed by turning the speed dial toward the picture of the

rabbit.

6. If only two-battery gauge LED lights are lit, you should plan to recharge the

batteries very soon.

9. If you are finished riding for the day, immediately recharge the batteries. See

CHARGING THE BATTERIES, page 13, 14 and 15.

xRelease thumb levers and allow scooter to stop completely before changing

from forward to reverse, or reverse to forward.

xWhen turning a corner, swing the front wheels wide, because the back

wheels will turn more tightly.

xUse the scooter only where it would be safe to walk.

xUse low speeds for reverse, downhills, ramps, kerbs, or uneven surfaces.

Hill climbing: You may need to use a higher speed. For a higher speed, set the

speed control in the proximity of the rabbit.

Down slopes: To proceed down steep slopes slowly, set speed control in

proximity of the turtle. This enables driver control, as the closer the speed

control is set toward the turtle, the slower the scooter will travel. However, this

scooter will not self accelerate down hills due to the automatic braking taking

effect should you attempt to drive too fast.

Kerb climbing:Approach slowly at right angles to the kerb. A direct approach is

needed. Do not attempt greater than a 100 mm kerb.

If Self-Diagnostic Warning Lights start to blink, identify the problem from the chart

on page 17 and take action.

If the scooter breaks down and must be moved, get off the scooter, pull the Free-

Wheeling Lever up to disable the drive system and brake system, move the

scooter slowly to a safe location, and push the free-wheeling lever down to

take the scooter out of freewheel mode.
