Guidance for Safe Operation and Use

Basic Driving
Caution! It is advisable during the first few sessions of operating your scooter that the area around you is clear of obstacles and pedestrians. Before operating your scooter, ensure the seat height and position has been adjusted to your satisfaction and the tiller angle has been set for optimum safety and comfort. Please see the “General Warnings”, “Getting on Your Scooter” and “Tiller Adjustment” sections in this handbook.

1. Make sure you are properly seated on the scooter and that the speed control knob is turned fully to the left.
2. Turn the key switch to the “ON” position.
3. On the tiller, use the throttle lever as described earlier. You will gently accelerate. Release and you will gently stop. Practice these two basic functions until you get used to them.
4. Steering the scooter is easy and logical. Be sure to remember to allow enough clearance when turning corners so that the rear wheels clear any obstacle.
5. Shortcutting a pavement corner can cause the back wheel to go off the pavement, causing problems if the corner is very rough. Avoid this at all times by steering an exaggerated curve around the obstacle.
6. When steering in a tight spot, such as entering a doorway or when turning around, stop the scooter and then turn the handlebar to where youwant to go, then apply power gently. This will make the scooter turn very sharply. It is also recommended that the preset speed is set to a slower setting to aid control in tight spots.
7. Reversing requires attention – exercise caution when reversing especially down slopes.
   • When reversing, always turn the handlebars in the opposite direction to the way you want to go.
   • The more you operate the throttle lever, the faster you will go.
   • Reverse speed is 50% slower than forward speed. If the scooter does not move in reverse, carefully turn the speed control knob clockwise until the scooter moves gently backwards.

Important:
To preserve battery power there is a “sleep timer” feature built into the controller. Should the scooter be left ON, but not operated for  15minutes the scooter will go into “sleep mode”. To reset this, switch the scooter OFF and then back ON again.
Note: The user’s visual standards must be higher than 0.5.

Hill climbing

• This scooter has been tested to climb an incline of no more than 10° with a maximum user weight of up to 136KG (300lbs) (Photo 12.1). Do not attempt to climb inclines in excess of this.
• Always reduce your speed when reversing on slopes. Do not reverse down hills in excessof 8° and always use extreme caution when reversing down hills.
• Do not attempt to drive along with the wheels at different levels, e.g. along the footpath and road simultaneously.

Hill climbing capability and distance travelled between battery charges will be adversely affected by such things as:

1. The weight of the user.
2. Terrain (e.g. grass or gravel).
3. Steepness of hills.
4. Level of charge and the age of the batteries.
5. Extremes of temperature.
6. Use and weight of accessories.

Traveling across slopes

• Care should be taken traversing across a slope, always reduce your speed.
• Do not traverse across the face of a slope in excess of 10°(Photo 12.2) .
  • Note: Where possible always travel up or down hills or ramps directly facing the slope of the hill.
• Do not traverse across the face of a slope in excess of 10°. Disregard of this advice could result in your scooter tipping.

Braking

• To bring the scooter to a standstill simply let go of the throttle control lever (Photo 12.3).
• Remember to keep both of your hands on the handlebars whilst the scooter is braking.
• Release the control lever will stop your scooter in seconds.

Note: Automatic braking is not instantaneous and will engage within 1/2 a wheel turn once the scooter has stopped.

Emergency Braking

• In the unlikely event of an unwanted movement of the scooter or other emergency, switching off the key switch will bring the scooter to a stop.
• Though very effective, emergency braking is extremely abrupt and must never be used under normal circumstances.
• Letting go of the throttle lever will slow the scooter to a controlled stop.

Switching off

• The scooter must always be switched off at the key switch.
• When the scooter is stowed or not in use for a long period of time, always charge the batteries for 12 hours and then disconnect the battery pack before storing.
• If the scooter is to be stored for a long period of time remove the fully charged battery packs and store, at or near room temperature, out of freezing conditions i.e. greater than 0°C.

Use on the footpath

• When using your scooter on the footpath always be aware of pedestrians and situations which might require extra care. For example, young children and pets.
• Remember, especially when driving in public places, to drive with caution and regard for others at all times.
• When maneuvering in confined areas, including shops, ensure the minimum speed is selected (Photo 12.4). If you leave your scooter outside a shop ensure that it does not obstruct the footpath or vehicular access.
• Always switch off and take your key with you.

Crossing roads

• Your scooter is not capable of mounting and dismounting curbs and other obstacles in excess of 45mm.
• Remember before crossing the road, drive forwards and position the scooter at 90° to the road, stopping about 30 – 60cm (1 – 2 feet) away from the edge of the footpath.
• Check that it is clear to cross. Select a medium to high speed setting and when safe to do so, drive across without stopping.
  • Note: Heavier users will require higher speed settings.
  • Note: Low-speed settings are recommended when traveling down hill, particularly in reverse. Also, reduce your speed when turning corners. The anti-tip devices fitted to the scooter must not be removed.

Turning corners

• Always reduce your speed when turning corners, particularly when traveling downhill. Disregarding this advice could lead to your scootertipping over.

Use of mobile phones

• Mobile telephones or two-way radio devices must not be used while operating the vehicle. Use of mobile phones or two-way radios can cause excessively strong electromagnetic fields.
• This may interfere with the vehicle’s electronic systems.
• If mobile phones or mobile radios are required to be used, the vehicle must be brought to a halt and the power turned off before any such device is used.

Tyres Your scooter has Pneumatic tyres all round. It is good practice to inspect the tyres for damage or wear regularly.
Emergency Braking

• Turning off the power switch whilst moving will switch off the power causing immediate and full braking. This method of stopping is not recommended except in an emergency.

Caution!

• Routine use of emergency braking will cause damage to your scooter.

Freewheel mechanism
Caution!

• Transporting the scooter along a slope in freewheel mode can be dangerous.
• Take extra care if this is necessary. Always re-engage the freewheel device after use.
• Never sit on your scooter whilst in freewheel since the scooter will no longer automatically stop.

Battery and Charging Information

• General information
  • Batteries are the power source for almost all of the modern mobility products available today.
  • The design of batteries used in mobility products is significantly different from the batteries used to start a car for example.
  • Car batteries are designed to release a large amount of power over a short period of time, whilst mobility batteries (commonly called deep cycle batteries) release their power evenly over a long period of time.
  • Therefore, due to the lower production volumes and increased technological requirements, mobility batteries are typically more expensive.
  • Commonly two 12 volt batteries are used together in a mobility product giving a total voltage of 24 volts.
  • The size of the battery (e.g. its available power) is expressed in amps per hour (e.g. 10amp/hr). The higher the number, the bigger the battery size, weight and, potentially, the greater the distanceyou can travel.
• Batteries
  • Your scooter is fitted with batteries that require no maintenance, other than regular charging.
  • If a battery is physically damaged, please use extreme caution when handling it.
  • Beware! Battery fluids are corrosive and care should be taken at all times  to avoid contact with it.
  • If it comes into contact with the skin or clothing,wash immediately with soap and water. If it comes into contact with the eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical attention.
  • In such an event, call your local dealer for assistance. Please do not dispose of batteries in normal waste, always recycle in accordance with local laws.
• Maintenance free
  • This is the type of battery used in the battery pack.
  • It uses GEL electrolyte which is totally sealed within the battery’s outer case.
  • As the name implies, no maintenance is required other than regular charging. As the battery case is sealed, you can safely transport this type of battery without fear of acid spilling. Furthermore, they are approved for transportation on aircraft, boats and trains.
  • It is recommended that the batteries are always transported and stored upright.
  • Only use batteries supplied by an authorized dealer.
• Battery care
  • We have set out a battery care plan for maintenance free batteries. If a different care plan is followed, this may result in lower than expected performance from your mobility vehicle.
  • Note: Do not expose any part of the battery to direct heat and when charging always place on a hard surface in a room with good ventilation.
  • You should not charge the batteries in outdoor conditions.Do not smoke when in the vicinity of charging batteries. Exclude all naked flames from the area.

Do not allow the batteries to freeze.

Battery pack care plan

1. Only use the approved battery charger compatible with the vehicle to be charged.
2. Charge batteries for 12 hours prior to using it for the first time.
3. Recharge batteries for 8 hours, no matter how many times your scooter is driven in a day.
4. It is not recommended to charge the batteries for more than 12 hours. Incorrect full charge can damage the battery.Do not leave the charger still connected to the batteries when the mains has been switched off. This will eventually deplete the battery charge.
5. Do not interrupt the charging cycle.
6. Failure to allow for full recharge will damage the batteries and can lead to shortened distances and permanent failure.
7. If your scooter is not required for use, make sure the batteries are regularly charged to protect the batteries.
8. If you leave your scooter for an extended period (more than 5 days) first charge your batteries for 12 hours, then remove charger and ensure the batteries are disconnected.
   • Caution: Remember to remove the plug from your scooter when charger is off, to prevent driving away whilst attached. The scooter cannot be operated when being charged.
9. The batteries need to be checked regularly for signs of damage. If any damage is apparent, contact your local mobility dealer immediately.
   • Caution! Take care not to short circuit the battery terminals. Remove all conductive jewelry (e.g. watches, necklaces etc.) before checking the batteries.
10. Following all the nine points above should result in a healthier battery, greater range for the vehicle user and a longer life for your batteries.

The range of your vehicle
Most manufacturers of mobility products state the range of their vehicles either in the sales literature or within the Owner’s Manual. The range stated sometimes differs from manufacturer to manufacturer even though the battery size is the same. We measure the range of our vehicles in a consistent and uniform manner, but variances still occur due to motor efficiencies and overall product load weight. The range figures are calculated to I.S.O. Standard 7176, Part 4: Scooter Energy Consumption Theoretical Range.
The range figures stated should be seen as a theoretical maximum and could be reduced if any single, or combination, of the following circumstances occur:

1. User weight heavier than 136KG.

EMC (EMI) Warnings

CAUTION:

• IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS INFORMATION REGARDING THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC CONTAMINATION, (EMC) ON YOUR MOBILITY SCOOTER.
• SOMETIMES THIS EFFECT IS ALSO KNOWN AS ELECTRO
• MAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI). EMC (EMI) FROM RADIO-WAVE SOURCES.
• Mobility scooters may be susceptible to EMC, which is interference from electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations,
• TV stations, amateur (HAM) radio transmitters, two-way radios, and mobile phones.
• The interference (from radio sources) can cause the mobility scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in an unintended way.
• Permanent damage can also be done to the mobility scooter’s control system.
• The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m.).
• Each mobility scooter can resist EMC up to a certain intensity.
• This is known as the scooter’s “immunity level”.
• The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection.
• Current technology offers useful protection of at least 20 V/m. which provides protection from the more common sources of radiated EMC.
• There are a number of relatively strong electromagnetic fields present in the everyday environment. Most of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid, others are not so obvious and can be unavoidable.
• By following the warnings listed, your risk of exposure to EMC will be minimized.

EMC sources can be broadly classified into three types:

1. Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitter-receivers with on-board antenna). Examples are walkie-talkies, CB Radio, security, emergency services, and mobile phones. Note that some cellular phones can transmit signals while they are switched on but not being used.
2. Medium-range mobile transmitters such as those used on emergency services vehicles, taxis, etc. These usually have antennae mounted on the outside of the vehicle.
3. 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, cassette players, and small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, are not likely to cause any EMC problems to your mobility scooter.

Mobility scooter electromagnetic contamination (EMC).
EM energy rapidly intensifies the closer one moves to the transmitting antenna, the source. Because of this, it is possible to bring strong EM fields unintentionally close to your mobility scooter’s control system. Mobile hand- held radio-type transceivers are of particular concern. Whilst such devices are in use, it is possible that the EM radiation can affect the mobility scooter’s movement and braking. The following warnings are recommended to help prevent possible interference with your mobility scooter’s control system.

1. Do not operate hand-held transceivers, such as CB radio, or turn ON cellular phones, whilst your mobility scooter is turned ON.
2. Be aware of nearby radio or television transmitters and try to avoid coming too close to them.
3. If you experience unintended movement or brake release, switch your scooter OFF as soon as it is safe to do so.
4. Adding accessories, and components or modifying the mobility scooter, may increase susceptibility to EMC (EMI).
   • Note: There is no easy way of assessing the effect of any modification on a scooter’s EM immunity.
5. If you experience any EMC (EMI) related incidents, please report them to your dealer, noting if there is a possible source of EM transmission nearby.

Notes:

• (Patriot mobility scooter) complies with IEC 60601-1-2 standard EM requirements.
• Users should assemble or use the scooter according to the EM requirements owner’s manual.
• Portable or mobile RF communication devices may affect the scooter, so please keep it away from EM interference such as mobile phones or microwaves.
• Please check the attachments for the guidance and manufacturer’s declaration.

Warnings

• This device or system should be kept away from other equipment. If they must be put together, pls check whether the device or system can run normally.
• You should consider the original manufacturer of the device or system as the sole supplier. Failure to do so may cause EMC to increase and or decrease anti-EMC ability.
