0. FIRST OF ALL

Upon receiving your Mobility Scooter, the first step is to OPEN THE BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH.

• Fully remove the five fixed screws located under the seat (See Pic. 0.1).

                                                                 Pic. 0.1

• Once the screws are removed, lift the bottom cover to access the electrical control unit (See Pic. 0.2).

 

                                                                Pic. 0.2

• The battery disconnect switch should be pointing to the right, indicating the "OFF" position (See Pic. 0.3).
• Need to turn the switch to the left "ON" position for the battery to begin supplying power(See Pic. 0.4).

                                     Pic. 0.3                                                  Pic. 0.4

• After that, replace the bottom cover and secure the five screws to prepare for normal use.

All mobility scooters are shipped with the battery turned off to protect it from natural discharge during transport, which can affect battery longevity.

If you plan to store your scooter for an extended period during winter without using it, you can also reopen the bottom cover and turn the switch to the right to the "OFF" position to protect the battery's performance.

• The batteries can also be charged off the scooter.

*Please turn off the power before charging.

C.New Battery’s Usage

To break in new batteries for maximum efficiency, please follow the notes below:

a. Fully charge any new battery prior to its initial use.

This brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance level.

b. Operate yourscooter throughout the house and yard.

Move slowly at first, and do not stray too far until you can skillfully drive your mobility scooter and know how to control the driving distance using the battery condition indicator.

c. Give the batteries another full charge of 10 to 12 hours and operate your mobility scooter

The batteries will now perform at over 90% of their potential.

d. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries will top off at 100% charge and last for an extended period.

D. TILLER CONSOLE

The tiller console houses all of the controls required for driving your mobility scooter, including the key switch, the speed adjustment knob, throttle control lever, battery condition indicator, horn button, and headlight button. With all of the controls on the console you can control various motions of your mobility scooter.

a. Key Switch (See Pic.2)

• Plug the key into the key switch.
• The light on the battery indicator illuminates.
• The light is off when the key is pulled out.

WARNING! Do not use the key switch to stop your mobility scooter unless an urgent event has occurred.  WARNNING! If your mobility scooter has stopped for a long period, power it down to prevent unintended motion.

b. Throttle Control Lever (See Pic.2)

This lever, which is located on the left side of the tiller console, allows you to control the forward or reverse speeds of your mobility scooter up to the maximum speed you preset with the speed adjustment knob.

• Push the throttle control lever forward to disengage the brakes and make the mobility scooterstart moving backward. Conversely, the mobility scooter starts moving forward if pulling the lever backward.
• The larger the angle the lever is pushed, the faster the speed of your mobility scooter.

 IX.SAFETY

A. PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK

• Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not
• Check all connections to the battery box. Make sure they aresecured properly.
• Check the brakes. Make sure they are sensitive and reliable.
• Check the battery charge(See V: Operation).

 B. WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your scooter is rated for a  500Lbs maximum weight limit.

WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result in personal injury and damage to your scooter.

C.INCLINE INFORMATION

WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline. Drive your scooter straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.

WARNING! Don’t drive up or down a potentially hazardous incline (areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves, etc.).

WARNING! Never drive down an incline backward. This could cause personal injury.

The maximum safe slope of an incline is 20°for your scooter. If a slope is less than this angle, it is safe for your scooter whenever climbing or descending.

WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descent a slope steeper than 20° may make your scooter unstable and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

D. OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES

Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions-dry, level surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop,asphalt, or hard dirt. But you should avoid driving on the following surfaces:

• Surface that you feel unsure about or soft pavement.
• Tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
• Loosely packed gravel and sand beaches.
• The max height of a curb is 3.15 inches (8 cm).

 E. MANUAL FREEWHEEL MODE

Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that allows it to be manually pushed by your attendant. For more information, see Section V: Operation.

WARNING! Do not use your scooter in manual freewheel mode without an attendant present. Failure to do so may cause personal injury.  WARNING! Do not place your scooter in manual freewheel mode while seated on it. Personal injury may result. Ask an attendant for assistance if necessary. WARNING! Do not place your scooter in manual freewheel mode while on an incline. The scooter could roll uncontrollably down the incline on its own, causing personal injury.

F.ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

Electrical devices may be affected by Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) produced by radio waves from radio stations, TV stations and other radio transmitters.

Like any electrical device, your scooter may be affected by EMI/RFI. Especially, when your scooter is driven within the interference range of these radio transmitters. In this case, your scooter may be out of order due to their interference.

G. TRANSFER ONTO OR OFF SCOOTER

To avoid injury, the following safety precautions are useful for you while you attempt to transfer on or off your scooter.

• Remove the key from the key switch, seeSection V: 
• Ensure your scooter is not in manual freewheel mode.

Flip up or move away the armrests.

• Reduce the distance between you and your scooter or theobject you are transferring onto.
• Turn the front wheels forward to improve your scooter's stability during the transfer.

WARNING! If unintended motion occurs due to EMI/RFI. Please immediately turn your scooter off and contact your authorized Ecomobi provider. Ecomobi Corporation is not liable for any damage and/or injuries due to failure.

8. Inclement Weather Precautions

WARNING! Do not operate your scooter on slippery roads with ice or snow. Failure to do so may cause injury and affect the performance of your scooter.

WARNING! Do not expose your scooter to any type of moisture at any time (rain, snow, mist or wash). Such exposure will damage your scooter. Never operate your scooter if it has been exposed to moisture until dried thoroughly.

WARNING! Before transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the scooter seat to prevent the scooter from tipping and causing injury.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the armrests. Failure to do so may cause your scooter to tip, resulting in injury.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the footplate. Such use may cause your scooter to tip, resulting in injury.
