- SHOPRIDER® Doesn't recommend that the scooter users be transported in a vehicle WHILE they are on the scooter.
- Do not use the scooter in the rain. If caught out in a rain shower as soon as possible return the scooter to a dry area and wipe any excess moisture off the scooter.
• Do not drive the scooter through puddles.
• Do not wash the scooter with a hose if the scooter requires a clean use a damp soft cloth only.
• Always ensure the correct pressure is maintained in the tyres on the scooter. Failure to do so may result in unstable handling of the scooter and reduced driving distance.

DISCLAIMER

SHOPRIDER® is not responsible for any damage or injury incurred due to improper or unsafe use of the SHOPRIDER® scooter. Mechanical or electrical defects will be dealt with on a contingency liability basis. The parts will be replaced but no responsibility for any damage or injury can be implied to SHOPRIDER®.

EMI Warning

SHOPRIDER® scooters as with all electric braked scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is a kind of 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 scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. (Forward or Reverse) It can also permanently damage the scooter's control system but this would likely be at levels exceeding the Australian standard.

The intensity of the interfering EMI energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/M). Each SHOPRIDER® scooter can resist up to a certain intensity. This is called "immunity level" the higher the immunity the greater the protection. At this time current technology is capable of achieving 20V/M immunity level which will provide useful protection from the more common sources of radiated EMI.

The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:

1. 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.

1. 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.

2. 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, so far as we know, are not likely to cause problems to the scooter.

Scooter 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 scooter's control system while using these devices. This can affect scooter movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the scooter.

WARNINGS

1. Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers), such as citizens band (CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the scooter is turned ON.
2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming close to them.
3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the scooter OFF as soon as it is safe.
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the scooter may make it more susceptible.

Report all incidents of unintended movement or braking to your Shoprider® provider, and note whether there are sources of EMI nearby. If your scooter does unexpectedly stop then turn the key off, Wait for a few seconds and turn the key back on.

WARNING: Shoprider® Mobility Products is not responsible for damage or injury incurred due to improper and unsafe use of our scooter.

Scooter Tiller Controls

Speed Control Dial

The speed control dial will allow the scooter to set the speed between 1 (minimum) and 10 (maximum).

Please note - When driving your Shoprider up or down an incline it is important to ensure the speed control dial is at 7-10 when going up up the incline & 1-4 when going down the incline. Adhering to these settings will ensure you remain in full driving control of your Shoprider. These settings will also maximise the performance of your scooter.

Battery Level Indicator

There are 8 LED light bars which indicate the amount of charge remaining in the batteries for the scooter. As the charge diminishes the LED light will move to the next brightest LED light (from right to left). When the LED light bars move to the last light and start flashing the batteries are in critical need of charging.

Caution – Do Not Allow the LED bars to go out completely as complete discharge of the batteries could cause critical damage to the batteries and scooter electrics.

Lights

A blue coloured button on the tiller operates the lights on the scooter.

Horn

A yellow coloured button on the tiller operates the horn.

Thumb/Finger Lever Control (Wig Wag)

The thumb/finger lever control known as the Wig Wag controls the forward and reverse movement of the scooter. There is a sticker on the tiller to indicate the direction that scooter will travel when the Wig Wag is depressed or pulled. The amount of pressure applied to each lever will determine the speed the scooter will travel. Release the lever and the scooter will slowly come to a stop and the electromagnetic brake will be applied.

On/Off Key Switch

Insert the key in to the key barrel on the tiller. Turn the key and the Battery indicator gauge pointer will move to the green or LED light bars light up. There will be a short delay before the thumb/finger lever can be operated, while the controller is checking the circuits. WARNING Remove the key from the ignition when the scooter is not in use. Injury and or damage to the scooter or surrounding property may occur.

Indicator Switch (where fitted)

Operates the turn indicators on the scooter

Hazard Warning Switch (where fitted)

Operating Your Shoprider® Scooter

Mounting the Scooter

• For your first lesson be sure you and your Shoprider® scooter are on a level surface with plenty of room to test drive the scooter.
• Mount the scooter, either by lifting the armrest and sliding on to the seat or rotate the seat by lifting the seat swivel lever and then rotate to face the tiller. Make sure the seat locks in place.
  • Adjust the seat so you are comfortable and are able to easily reach the steering tiller.
  • Adjust the tiller as described previously.
• Ensure you have both hands free and any items such as walking canes are stored in the optional cane/crutch holder (see the dealer if you require one of these optional items).

Starting Scooter Movement

• Insert the Key in to the slot and turn it to the ON position
• The speed setting should be set to 1 or 2 setting.
• Pull the right hand finger lever (Wig Wag) the scooter will move slowly forward.
The further you pull/ push the faster the scooter goes but will only reach the speed level that has been selected.
• To STOP release the lever and the scooter will slowly come to a stop and the magnetic brake will be applied.

Steering

Steering the scooter is light and easy. Ensure when starting off you give a wide clearance when turning so that the rear wheels clear any obstacle that you are passing. When steering through limited spaces such as a doorway or when turning around, turn the tiller handles where you want to go and then apply power gently. The scooter will turn very tightly, but will still move with complete stability as long as the speed is not too high.

Do not turn sharply at high speed

Reversing

Before reversing ensure that the area behind is free from any hazards or obstructions. Adjust your speed setting to a low setting before you reverse. Pull/press the left thumb/finger lever (Wig Wag), and steer wide of all corners and obstacles. Remember that when reversing you have to steer in the opposite direction to the way you want to go. Take your time when reversing to ensure you do not run into any objects.

Please note your scooter will always travel slower in reverse and has a slight delay before moving, this is due to safety measures built into the scooters electric system.

Dismounting

Before dismounting always ensure that the "key is turned to the OFF position".

CAUTION: Please ensure that care is exercised when entering.

Or leaving the scooter and that the tiller is not used for support.

Basic Driving

Practice all the skills learned from the above sections. When you have gained experience and confidence with these basic skills then you are ready to start using your Shoprider® scooter to its full potential. Please note then when driving up or down a sloping ground that you set the speed dial 7-10 going up & 1-4 gong down. Failure to do this may cause loss of scooter control & potential damaged to the scooter motor.

Operating Your Shoprider® Scooter

continued

Grass and Gravel

Please follow the guidelines given previously and your scooter will perform admirably over many surfaces. Avoid long grass, loose gravel and sand.

NOTE: You should not operate your scooter in wet weather or on wet surfaces. This may cause the motor to over load.

Ramps

The stability of your scooter is governed by several factors such as the seating position, the angle of the slope and your height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so directly and not at an angle and whenever possible avoid making turns. When going down a ramp or slope keep the speed settings at slow. This will ensure there is a safe controlled descent. When the thumb/finger levers are released the scooter will slowly stop.

Curbs

When approaching curbs and or any other stationary obstacle use extreme caution, slow down and evaluate whether you need to negotiate the obstacle. If you do have to traverse the obstacle then approach the obstacle front on only (both wheels meet the obstacle at the same time).

CAUTION: Never drive backwards over curbs or stationary obstacles. This may result in the scooter tipping over. CAUTION: Do not drive on raised surfaces with unprotected edges – Do not drive off curbs, ledges or stairs.

Maximum User Weight and Incline Angle

Each Shoprider® scooter has been manufactured to have safe working limits for maximum user weight and incline angle, please ensure you review the specifications for your model (Appendix 1) and never exceed these maximums at any time. The maximum user weight is indicated at 0' degrees example 136kg @ 0'

WARNING: Exceeding user weight or incline specifications may damage your scooter & void your warranty.

WARNING: If fitted Never remove the anti-tip wheels from the scooter.

CAUTION: When on any incline or decline never place the scooter in free wheel mode.

CAUTION: When driving on an incline never Zigzag or drive at an angle up the incline. Always drive your scooter straight up the incline. This will reduce the possibility of the scooter tipping.

CAUTION: Do not drive your Shoprider® across the side of an incline Do not stop if possible while driving up or down an incline. Use 7-10 setting on your speed dial when going up an incline and 1-4 when going down the incline.

WARNING: You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).

WARNING: Shoprider® scooters are capable of climbing slopes greater than those indicated below, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your scooter and or cause future problems with the electrical systems on the scooter.

Batteries & Battery Chargers

All Shoprider® scooters require two maintenance free, sealed lead acid batteries or gel batteries. Battery performance can be affected by temperature, terrain, condition of battery, the weight of the user, etc. The battery level indicator/gauge is only a guide and is most effective when the scooter is being driven, only then is the true battery discharge level displayed.

Battery life is not specific due to a number of reasons however Shoprider® encourages that the scooter be placed on charge every night. This should give optimum battery life and performance.

Battery Charger

Batteries required for your scooter are specially designed. All Shoprider® scooters require a Shoprider® automatic battery charger. These chargers have an electronic switch that will terminate the charge when the batteries are fully charged. It is very important that you do not run the batteries completely flat this will impact on the battery life, performance and may Damage the scooters electrics.

Shoprider® recommends that only Genuine Shoprider® Chargers be used to recharge the batteries in your scooter.

Please contact your authorised Shoprider® provider for assistance.

Charging

Charge the batteries completely (12 to 16 hours) prior to first time use.

• Prior to charging please ensure the key is turned off and removed from the scooter.
- Connect the plug lead (Refer FIGURE 15) into the battery-charging socket (Refer FIGURE 16) on the scooter tiller.
- Ensure the wall socket is turned off then insert the 3-prong A/C plug into the wall socket and switch "ON".
• Turn the charger on as shown on FIGURE 17 (Please ensure the voltage on the charger is set to 230volt not 120volt as this will destroy the charger).

Once the charger has been turned on the following lights will appear.

The charger has two lights. The red light when constant shows the battery charger is connected, if the red light flashes; there is a break in the connection. The second light will show a gold light while charging and a green light when the charging is complete. The charging time will vary on how long the scooter has been used for prior to charging however typically this should take 6-10 hours.

Your Shoprider® charger is fitted with "Standby Mode" which ensures that you can not over charge your batteries.

Please note that on the 778HD the scooter has an onboard charger and only requires the supplied cord be fitted in to the base of the tiller. Remove the red cover plug before charging – A gold light will show when charging is in progress and a green light when charging is complete. (Refer FIGURE 18)

Removing from Charge

• Turn the charger off as shown on FIGURE 17.
• Turn the wall socket off then remove the 3-prong A/C plug from the wall socket.
- Remove the plug lead from the battery-charging socket (Refer FIGURE 15) on the scooter tiller.

WARNING

Periods of Storage

If the Shoprider® scooter is not going to be used for long periods of time then Shoprider® recommends that the scooter be charged every two weeks as a minimum. To optimise the life of the batteries it is also suggested that the scooter is driven for a minimum of 30 minutes then placed back on charge.

Airline travel

Your Shoprider® scooter uses either Gel or Sealed lead acid deep cycle batteries. They are maintenance free and transportable on Aeroplane, Train and Automobiles, as there is no danger of leakage.

Some Airline companies require documentation regarding the transporting of the batteries. Please check with your airline prior to travelling. Should you need this information please have your selling dealer contact Shoprider®.

CAUTION: Always ensure that the charging lead is in good condition and has not been damaged or stretched.

Note: Your Shoprider® charger is fitted with fuses and should your charger not operate please check with your selling Shoprider® dealer.

Care & Maintenance

Wheels and Tyres

The wheels of your Shoprider® scooter have split rims. This allows any punctures to be repaired easily.

To change the wheels remove the center 13 mm bolt and slide the wheel off its axle. Take care not to lose the drive key on the rear wheels. When changing a tyre you must deflate the tyre first. Remove the four bolts to split the rim if required. Ensure that when refitting the wheel the retaining bolt is fitted with a locking washer (with drive key for the rear wheel).
