Instruction Booklet: Troubleshooting

batteries for a minimum of 12 ham.
1| Low Battery Fault| The batteries have run out of charge.
Recharge the batteries
3| High Battery Fault| Battery voltage is too high. This may occur if overcharged &/or traveling down a long slope.
If traveling down a slope, reduce your speed to minimize the amount of regenerative charging.
Check the battery and associated connections and wiring
A| lLIIICIIII. 1-111111 Time-Out| The motor has been exceeding its maximum current rating for too long. This may be due to a faulty motor. Check the motor and associated connections and wiring
Turn the controller off, leave for a few minutes and turn back on again.
5| Park Brake Fluid| ‘Either a park brake release switch is active or the park brake is faulty.
Check the park brake and associated connections and wiring.
Ensure any associated switches are in their correct positions
6| Throttle OONAPU| The Throttle is out of neutral when turning the controller on.
Ensure the throttle is in neutral when turning the controller on.
The Throttle may require re-calibration
7| Speed Pot Fault| The throttle, speed limit pot or their associated wiring may be faulty.
Check the throttle and speed pot and associated connections and wiring
8| Motor Voltage Fault| The motor or its associated wiring is faulty.
Check the motor and associated connections and wiring.
9| Other Error| The controller may have an internal fault.
Check all connections & wiring

Further issues:
If the above troubleshooting does not help to resolve the issue please contact the authorised dealer (page 2). Please have your serial no. to hand to provide to the authorised dealer, which can be found

Instruction Booklet: Caution
Obstacle Climbing:

• Your scooter can climb obstacles and curbs of up to 40mm / 1.6″ in height. Never attempt to overcome an obstacle when on an uphill or downhill gradient!
• Always approach obstacles straight on! Ensure that the front wheels and rear wheels move over the obstacle in one stroke, do not stop halfway!
• The maximum gap the scooter can drive over is 100mm / 4″.
• When driving scooter on ramp, adjust body centre of gravity to keep scooter more safety.Others:
• Charge the batteries after each trip. If the scooter is not used for some time, batteries may lose their charge. Batteries should be charged at least once a month.
• Check the battery gauge before driving to prevent power depletion.
• Batteries will have an aging phenomenon, where the storage capacity will gradually decrease. If batteries are damaged, please wrap them in a plastic bag and contact your local dealer for proper disposal.
• Do not disassemble battery and open sealed parts by yourself to prevent electric shock and burns from acid leakage.
• Adjust speed to a slow speed when starting off to prevent sudden acceleration.
• Never attempt to drive downhill backwards.
• Try not to drive scooter at night or in rain or bad weather.
• If storing your scooter for a long time (1 month or more), make sure that battery are fully charged, then disconnect the two batteries plugs (W), and store the scooter in a dry location.
• Front basket, weight capacity 3kgs (6.5Ibs).

Instruction Booklet: Safety lnfomation on Electronic Interference (EMI)
CAUTION: It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible effects of Electromagnetic Interference on your motorized scooter.
Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such a radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the motorized scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the motorized scooter control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each motorized scooter can resist EMI up to certain intensity. This is called its “immunity level.” The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection. At this time, current technology is capable of achieving at least a 20 V/m immunity level, which would provide useful protection from the more common sources of radiated EMI. This immunity level of this motorized scooter model is 20 V/m.
There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the everyday environment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not apparent and exposure is unavoidable. However, we believe that by following the warnings listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimized.

Tiller Angle Adjustment:.

• 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;

CAUTION: 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; and
• Long-range transmitters and transceivers such as commercial broadcast transmitters (radioand TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.

CAUTION: 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 EMI problems to  your motorized scooter.

Instruction Booklet: Safety lnfomation on Electronic Interference (EMI)
Motorized Scooter Electromagnetic Interference:
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one move closer to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the motorized scooter control system while using these devices. This can affect motorized scooter movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possibleinterference with the control system of the motorized scooter.
Warnings:
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect motorized scooters. Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or motorized  scooter movement which could result in serious injury.

• 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 motorized scooter 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 motorized scooter OFF as soon as it is safe;
• Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the motorized scooter, may make it more susceptible to EMI; and

CAUTION: There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the motorized scooter.

• Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the distributor listed on theinside front cover of this manual. Note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.Important Information:
• 20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against EMI (as of May 1994). The higher the level, the greater the protection.
• The immunity level of this product is 20 V/m.
