EMI WARNING

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources

Powered motorized electric vehicles may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering

electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters,

two-way radio, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the powered vehicle to release

its brakes, move by itself or move in unintended directions. It can permanently damage the powered vehicle control

system.

The source of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types.

Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers) with the antenna mounted directly on the transmitting

unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios, “walkie-talkie”, security, fire and police transceivers, cellular

telephones and other personal communication devices.

Note: Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they are ON, even when not being used.

Medium-Range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and taxis. These

usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the vehicle.

Long-Range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitters (radio and TV

broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.

Note: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players

and cassette players, and small appliances such as electric shavers and hair dryers, are not likely to cause problems to

your powered vehicle.

Powered Vehicle Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM

fields from hand-held radio sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels

of EM energy very close to the powered vehicle control system while using these devices. This can affect powered

vehicle movement and braking.

Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the

powered vehicle.

WARNINGS

The following warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or powered vehicle

movement, which could result in serious injury.

•Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers), such as citizen band (CB) radios, or turn ON

personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the powered vehicle is turned ON.

•Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming close to them.

•If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered vehicle OFF as soon as it is safe.

•Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered vehicle, may make it more

susceptible to EMI (NOTE: There is no easy way to evaluate the overall immunity of the powered vehicle).

Report all incidents of unintended movement or braking to UltraLite Vehicles, and note whether there are sources of EMI

nearby.

OPERATING YOUR ULTRALITE VEHICLE

Adjusting Your Tiller

The tiller of your vehicle is uniquely designed to allow you to position it in a comfortable driving position. It can

be placed in its full upright position or folded down for transportation. Positioning the tiller is accomplished by

flipping the tiller lock lever located on the bottom of the T-bar.

Folded and upright positions are shown in Figures 2 and 3.

For rider comfort, the tiller easily locks in any of five positions using the tiller lock lever as shown in Figures 4

and 5.

WARNING!

Always make sure the tiller lock lever is in one of the locked positions and secure before driving your vehicle.

SEAT ARMS INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT

Your UltraLite Vehicle may be equipped with Width Adjustable Folding Arms on the seat.

To install the arms:

1. Loosen the Adjustment Knobs on the Arm Receiver under the rear of the seat (Figure 6).

2. Slide the square end of the Arm into the Arm Receiver and position the Arm at the desired width (Figure 7).

3. Firmly tighten the Adjustment Knobs to secure the arms.

The arms may be readjusted at any time by loosening the knobs and sliding the arms inward or outward and

re-tightening the knobs

CAUTION!

Be sure to tighten the adjustment knobs securely. Always adjust the arms equally. Do not adjust the arms to

more than 69 cm wide.

The Arms of your vehicle may be folded downward to ease getting on and off the vehicle and make your

vehicle more compact for storage and transport. To fold an arm, grasp the arm at the rear of the arm pad, and

lift the arm upward to disengage the armrest latch. The arm will swing forward and down. (Figure 8) To fold

the arm to the upward position, swing the arm up, then firmly push the arm down at the rear of the arm pad to

engage the arm rest latch. (Figure 9)

www.discountscooters.co.uk

CAUTION!

Be sure the arm latches are engaged before putting any weight on the arms. Never use the arms of

the vehicle for transfers. The arms are designed for comfort and convenience only and will not

support your weight during transfers.

CONTROL FEATURES

Your controls are located on the handle bar dashboard. Control locations are shown in Figure 10.

ON-OFF SWITCHES

The ON-OFF Switches are in two locations. The main switch is located on the top of the battery pack at the

rear of the vehicle (Figure 11). The secondary switch is located facing the rider on the dashboard on the tiller.

To turn on your vehicle, toggle the main switch on the battery pack to the “ON” position. The battery gauge

needle should move to the right into the green bar area. (If the needle does not move refer to the

troubleshooting section of this manual).

NEXT: Toggle the ON-OFF switch on the dashboard to the “ON” position. The switch should light and the

battery gauge needle should move to the right into the green bar area.

NOTE: If the main switch on the battery pack is not in the “ON” position, the

dashboard switch and the vehicle will not operate.

To turn off your vehicle, toggle the ON/OFF switch to the “OFF” position.

BATTERY INDICATOR GAUGE

The Battery Indicator Gauges are located on the Battery Pack and on the dashboard. When your vehicle is

turned on, the needle on the gauges will move to the right over the green area of the indicator scale indicating

fully charged batteries. As the power decreases, the needles will move gradually to the left indicating power

discharge. When the needles move into the yellow area on the left side of the gauge, your batteries should be

charged (see Batteries and Battery Charging section of this manual). For maximum battery life, it is

recommended that you charge your batteries before they are fully discharged (as indicated by the red portion

of the gauge).
