11
Emergency Brake
A Brief Explanation of How The Brakes Work On Your Scooter. Your scooter has 3 braking systems:-
1. The First is the emergency brake. This is situated on the tiller (see image below). This is a hand operated brake to be used in an emergency only.
2. The Second is the electromagnetic brake or Automatic handbrake. When you move off, this releases automatically. When the scooter stops it also engages automatically and stops the scooter rolling forward or backward.
3. The Third is the regenerative brake. This works when you release the accelerator lever. The faster you release the lever the faster the machine slows down. When it slows down enough the automatic brake engages.
If you are riding the scooter and you feel there is a fault and the scooter is not braking correctly pull in the lever (Arrowed) to slow the vehicle. Immediately switch off the ignition and phone the Service Provider. Note: If you should become confused with the braking, just release the lever mechanism and the vehicle will come to a stop.
This is an Emergency Brake Only.

The full list of fault numbers can be viewed on Page 27

14
Day Time Running Lamps
For your safety the Quingo Flyte is equipped with Daytime Running Lamps. The 2 lower front lamps situated near the outer front wheels (Arrowed) remain permanently `ON’ when the ignition is switched on. These lamps cannot be switched off. The Running lamps are not a legal requirement but are an added feature to make other road users and pedestrians aware of your presence.
Lights. 1. There are additional lights that can be controlled from the tiller display panel, with an option to have the higher mounted tiller lights on or off. 2. There is a rear brake light which activates automatically when braking.

15
Anti-tip Devices
The Flyte is fitted with Kerb Master- “Powered Anti Tip” a patented feature that engages the 2 wheels when descending a slope or kerb.
Should the anti-tip wheels come to rest on a kerb there is a possibility that the machine will become “Beached”, this means the kerb is higher than the distance between the anti-tip wheels and the ground and can leave the rear wheels spinning and the scooter can become disabled. If this should happen, the 2 anti-tip wheels engage, the rider should drive normally and the vehicle will automatically drive off the obstacle.
Normal Anti-tip Beached position
Quingo Kerbmaster
The Anti Tip device is fitted to the rear of the vehicle. Its function is to restrict the vehicle tipping backwards in an extreme situation. This only occurs if the machine is misused. The Kerbmaster Anti-Tip Device can be set in 2 different locations- normal driving position and transportation position. The two diagrams below show the anti-tip wheels:-

Battery Charging
GENERAL NOTES REGARDING THE BATTERY CHARGER
Battery chargers are subject to regular upgrades. For full instructions read the leaflet supplied with the charger, which can be found in the Battery Charger box.
IMPORTANT
Batteries have a limited guarantee; if they have not been charged correctly and they fail, they will not be replaced under the guarantee. An engineer will be able to detect “misuse or neglect” immediately, so follow the correct charging procedures to prolong their life.
Charging your Batteries.
1. Always use Gel/AGM type batteries as replacements. NEVER use car lead acid batteries. If in doubt ask your Quingo Service Provider.
2. Always use the correct charger. Never use a lead acid (Car type) charger. If the fully charged light does not come on (normally green, varies with charger type) you may have a battery or charger problem.
3. When storing, fully charge the batteries every week – never let them run low. 4. Do not leave the ignition on during charging 5. Do not leave the charger switched off with the plug connected to the vehicle. This
will discharge the batteries to zero. 6. Charge the batteries in a well ventilated area. 7. Do not charge the batteries in the open air. The battery charger is not waterproof. 8. Always charge the batteries fully after use (normally over night). Do not part
charge. 9. As the batteries age they will lose their electrical capacity so the range will
decrease. 10. Hilly areas have a great affect on the range. As the motors heat up, they lose their
efficiency, increasing demand on the batteries and decreasing the range. 11. If a faulty battery is found it is recommended to change both batteries. 12. If the charger is left on for a long period it will not affect the batteries. The charger is
fully automatic and will switch off when the batteries are full. However, if the vehicle is not being used for a long period it is recommended that the charger should be used every week to top up and then disconnect. 13. If the batteries have been discharged for a long period, do not attempt to charge. Contact your service provider for advice.
.
Caution: If one or both batteries are damaged they could heat up when charging or in an extreme case explode. Ensure that all damaged batteries are disposed of by the supplier.

Important Notes when Driving your Vehicle
Driving your vehicle
Whether or not this is your first mobility vehicle, read these guidelines as all vehicles differ. Failure to do this may cause damage to you, a third party or the vehicle.
Check the weather. Make sure you are wearing suitable clothing, regardless if your journey is long or short. (Remember, when it is hot to wear a hat)
If you are taking medication, check with your doctor or physician that your ability to control the vehicle will not be impaired.
Do not drink & drive it’s the law! Only use the scooter in accordance with its intended use (see page 4). Always stop the scooter on a flat area and always remove the ignition key when it is
not in use. Do not climb kerbs higher than 7.5cm and always lean forward. When climbing a
kerb approach at a slow speed. Do not hit the kerb or an obstacle at speed, as this can cause the front wheel to bounce upwards rendering the vehicle unstable. As you make contact apply power until the vehicle has completed the task. When descending a kerb or obstacle check for traffic and descend slowly until you are on flat ground. Do not stop when going up a hill; always lean forward and get to a flat area. If you are taking medication check with your doctor or physician that your ability to control the vehicle will not be impaired. Do not drive through deep water; transport more than one person; tow other vehicles, drive on rough unpaved ground, soft mud or carry excess weight. Do not modify the vehicle as this will invalidate your warranty. Make sure the battery charger is disconnected. Make sure you have adjusted the seat as instructed in this manual- get comfortable- set the speed control dial to a low setting. Switch on the vehicle. Check the battery level indicator is full (6 bars) Always place your feet on the footplates. To Brake, release the lever. If you become unsure or feel unsafe release the lever immediately. As you get accustomed to the vehicle use the power button to increase the speed.

25
Storage & Cleaning
Read this before driving the vehicle!
Storage and Corrosion Prevention Always keep your vehicle in a dry area. Do not leave outside in the elements. If you do not have an area to store the vehicle, cover it with a fully waterproof cover.
Cleaning the vehicle Only use a damp cloth and gentle detergent Do not use any abrasive or scouring liquids Do not allow the vehicle near water or in direct contact with water Do not use high-pressure cleaning devices
Disinfection Spray or wipe disinfection using a tested and recognised product is permitted. A list of the current disinfectants is available from the Robert Koch Institute at http:/www.rki.de. Always wear rubber gloves when using disinfectant and wash your hands thoroughly when finished.

26
Troubleshooting Guide
This table is a guide to fault finding. The fault may be a simple fix, but if you have any doubts phone your service provider:-

Symptom
UNIT DOES NOT MOVE. Check: Does the battery level indicator work when the ignition is switched on?
STEERING IS LOOSE OR WOBBLY WHEN DRIVEN. Check: Have you hit a kerb or obstacle hard? Are the handlebars straight when riding in a straight line?
VEHICLE BEHAVES ERRATICALLY WHEN DRIVEN. Check: Does the vehicle judder or cut out?

Solution
Freewheel is engaged (check the dash display on page 8)
The Battery is flat­ check level
Check for tyre damage Damaged steering ­ contact
service provider Is the seat loose ­ contact service
provider
Possible electronic problem contact service provider.
Binding front wheels Binding rear wheels ­ Emergency
brake ­ Switch into freewheel and the vehicle should move easily (if not contact the service provider).

VEHICLE WILL NOT CLIMB OR DESCEND THE DOCKING STATION. Check: Are the wheels slipping?
SHORT RANGE Check: If the red charging lamp stays on after all night charging it may be a defective or worn out battery?

The Flyte is fitted with bespoke tyres, these may need replacing. Only fit `Quingo Flyte ultra-grip rear tyres’.
Check tyre pressures ­ should be 30psi all round (not the small outer wheels)

27
Scooter Fault Indicators
There are 3 stages when reporting a fault.
Remember that the Service Provider is there to help you. They will ask you specific questions that need to be answered honestly. This will allow the service engineer to be equipped with the correct part when visiting you.
Before phoning the Service Provider Check what is wrong with the scooter: If there is a spanner and a number flashing on the tiller display (Page 13) you may be able to correct the problem. The list below shows you which problems you can fix yourself and the others you have to phone the Service Provider for them to fix.

Fault on display Spanner 1: Battery needs recharging Spanner 2: Voltage low Spanner 3: Voltage too high Spanner 4: Ignition sleep mode Spanner 5: Brake fault or freewheel engaged Spanner 6: Lever Mechanism fault Spanner 7: Speed Pot error Spanner 8: Motor error Spanner 9: Other error

What to do Charge the batteries* Charge the batteries Phone Service Provider Turn ignition off, then on Check free wheel (Page 12) Phone Service Provider Phone Service Provider Phone Service Provider Phone Service Provider

If you phone the service provider, inform them of the number showing on the tiller display.

• Make sure the battery charger is completing its full charge, if not, inform the Service Provider.

Important Note If you report a problem and there is found to be no genuine fault or the problem is user error you will be charged for the call out, so please check the above first before phoning.

Call Service Provider

Common Questions
How do I clean the vehicle? Only use a damp cloth and gentle detergent Do not use any abrasive or scouring liquids Do not allow water near or direct contact with water Do not use high-pressure cleaning devices
I want to modify my scooter, is this ok? No, any modification will invalidate your warranty. This is because it changes the specification of the product and the manufacturer has to abide by the CE approval marking.
Can I fit weatherproofing such as a canopy? No, as the Flyte is transportable and is required to be folded to transport, a fixed canopy cannot be fitted.
How long will my batteries last and what range can I expect? This is a very difficult question and not one that has a straight answer. It depends on many factors but a rough guide to batteries is:
Keep them charged, do not let the batteries run completely flat. If they are flat charge them up.
The life of a battery depends upon the number of cycles the battery goes through. If you carry out these simple instructions your batteries will have longer life.
Range can be affected by many things such as: Worn batteries: As they get older the range decreases
Faulty or worn drive train: Uncommon but will be checked by the engineer during service.
Binding brakes: If your vehicle is fitted with a front emergency brake is could be sticking, the engineer will check this during service
Low air pressure in the tyres: Common fault with low range, always keep the tyre pressures correct
Cold weather: Battery performance decreases as the temperature drops
Incorrect charging: Part charging will eventually damage the batteries, always fully charge your batteries after use
Weight: The heavier the weight carried on the vehicle, the lower the range.
The type of terrain: For example if the vehicle is constantly used on grass, shingle or generally soft ground the power consumption doubles. This means your range will decrease by 50%
Can I leave my scooter outside in the open as I do not have anywhere to store it? How can I guard against damage or corrosion? Always keep the vehicle in a dry area. Do not leave it outside in the elements. If you do not have an area to store the vehicle, cover it with a full, waterproof cover.

29
Reporting a fault and Servicing Information
Breakdown (UK) ­ Phone 01582 430900
If your vehicle breaks down please do not instruct a 3rd party (a dealer, garage or friend) to fix the problem. Phone the Service Department immediately as failure to do so will invalidate your warranty.
When phoning the Service Department with a fault Do:
Please be as clear as possible when explaining your problem (worthwhile writing your problem down before calling)
Listen to the Service Operators as they will ask you a series of questions. Please answer them as precisely as possible. This helps to determine the problem so the Service Engineer can bring out the correct parts.
Remember:
When your vehicle is under warranty there are certain situations where it will not be covered such as tyres or damage. Make sure you understand what you are covered by.
Before you book an engineer for a possible fault make sure there is a problem. If the engineer does not find anything wrong you will be charged for a call out.
Servicing (UK)- Phone 01582 430900
This vehicle is designed for minimum maintenance but it is essential that a qualified engineer services the vehicle once a year. If the vehicle is used constantly we recommend twice-yearly maintenance.
Make sure the engineer fills in the handbook on completion for all servicing carried
out on your vehicle.
Keep all receipts for servicing and repairs with this handbook. This may add value
if/when selling your vehicle and may be required in the event of a warranty claim.
On completion of the service, test the vehicle before the engineer leaves and make
sure you are satisfied with the work carried out.

Technical Information Regarding EMI
Important Technical Information regarding Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) The intensity of interference from electromagnetic energy is measured in volts per metre (v/m), which refers to the strength of the electrical source (voltage) as it relates to the distance away from the object being considered (in metres). Resistance of a scooter/ wheelchair to certain EMI intensity is commonly called “immunity level”. 20 volts/ metre is a generally achievable and a useful immunity level against interference from radio wave sources (the higher the immunity level, the greater protection). Your scooter had been tested and found to meet the required immunity level from Electromagnetic Interference (20v/m): the intensity of interference from electromagnetic energy.
Caution: Even with the immunity level of 20 volts per metere, certain precautions must be followed to ensure your scooter/ wheelchair will not be affected by outside electromagnetic sources.
See Page 5 of this manual for additional information.

33

35
Quingo Flyte & Docking Station Technical Specification
Range: Up to 23 miles (37km) with standard battery configuration. The range can be increased up to 34 miles (54km) with the optional 2 x 22Ah batteries which can be fitted into the rear lockable box.
The above range figures are theoretical, produced in accordance with ISO 7176-4 ISO 7176-4 specifies a method for determining the theoretical distance range of electrically powered wheelchairs and scooters by measuring energy consumed over a specified distance. It is applicable to electrically powered wheelchairs and scooters with a maximum speed not greater than 15 km/h, intended to provide indoor and/or outdoor mobility for one disabled person whose mass is within the range presented by ISO 717611.
The distance range of an electrically powered wheelchair is affected by energy consumption and battery condition. Energy consumption is affected by a number of factors such as ambient temperature, total weight and weight distribution of the user, topography, surface characteristics, and tyres. Battery condition is affected by factors such as temperature, age, charging history and discharging history. Hence the result obtained from the test specified in this part of ISO 7176-4 cannot be used to derive an accurate range estimate for a particular wheelchair (or scooter) and user. However, it can be used to give a basis for comparison between different wheelchairs or scooters under similar test conditions.
Note regarding speed: The maximum speed and performance criteria are set as per specification and cannot be changed in any way by the customer. This can only be changed by a qualified engineer equipped with a suitable electronic programmer.
Note: Specifications are correct when going to press. Advanced Vehicle Concepts Ltd retains the right to change specifications without prior notice.
