ModificationsYour scooter has been designed to be as practical aspossible. However, under no circumstances shouldyou modify, add, remove, or disable any part orfunction of your scooter. Personal injury and damageto the scooter may result.1.Do not modify your power scooter in any way notauthorized by EV Rider. Do not use accessoriesif they have not been tested or approved for EVRider products.2. Get to know the feel of your power scooter andits capabilities. EV Rider recommends thatyou perform a safety check before each use tomake sure your scooter operates safely. Inspections prior to using your power scooter:1.Please check all electrical connections and makesure they are tight and not corroded.2. Please check all harness connections and makesure they are secured properly.3. Please check the brakes. Weight limitation.1.Do not exceed the weight capacity stated in theSpecification section. Exceeding the weightcapacity voids your warranty. EV Rider will notbe held responsible for injuries or propertydamage resulting from failure to observe weightlimitations.2. Do not carry passengers on scooters. Carryingpassengers on your scooter may affect the centerof gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall. Temperature1.2.Some of the parts of the scooter are susceptibleto change in temperature. The controller can onlyoperate in temperature that ranges between-25ºC 50ºC (-13ºF to 122ºF).At extreme low temperatures, the batteries mayfreeze, and your scooter may not be able tooperate. In extreme high temperatures, it mayoperate at slower speeds due to a safety featureof the controller that prevents damage to themotors and other electrical components.ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCEThe rapid development of electronics, especially inthe area of communications, has saturated ourenvironment with electromagnetic (EM) radio wavesthat are emitted by television, radio andcommunication signals. These EM wave are invisibleand their strength increases as one approaches thesource. All electrical conductors act as antennas tothe EM signals and, to varying degrees, all powerwheelchairs and scooters are susceptible toelectromagnetic interference (EMI). The interferencecould result in abnormal, unintentional movementand/or erratic control of the vehicle. Power scootersmay be susceptible to electromagnetic interference(EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energyemitted from sources such as radio stations, TVstations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-wayradios, cellular phones and alarm systems. Theinterference (from radio wave sources) can cause thepower scooter to release its brakes, move by itself ormove in unintended directions. It can alsopermanently damage the powered scooter’s controlsystem. The intensity of the EM energy can bemeasured in volts per meter (V/m).Each poweredscooter can resist EMI up to a certain intensity. This iscalled “immunity level”. The higher the immunity levelthe greater the protection. At this time, currenttechnology is capable of providing at least 20 V/m ofimmunity level, which would provide useful protectionagainst common sources of radiated EMI.Following the warnings listed below should reducethe chance of unintended brake release or poweredscooter movement that could result in serious injury:1.Do not turn on hand-held personalcommunication devices such as citizens band(CB) radios and cellular phones while thepowered scooter is turned on.2.Be aware of nearby transmitters such as radioor TV stations and try to avoid coming close tothem.3.If unintended movement or brake releaseoccurs, turn the powered scooter off as soon asit is safe.

4.5.Be aware that adding accessories orcomponents, or modifying the powered scooter,may make it more susceptible to interferencefrom radio wave sources (Note: It is difficult toevaluate the effect on the overall immunity ofthe powered scooter).Report all incidents of unintended movement orbrake release to the powered scootermanufacturer, and note whether there is a radiowave source nearby.TURN OFF YOUR POWER SCOOTER AS SOON ASPOSSIBLE IF YOU EXPERIENCE THEFOLLOWING: Unintentional scooter movementsSPECIFICATIONModelWeight LimitOverall Dimensions(L x W x H)Folded Dimensions(L x W x H)Seat Dimensions(L x W x H)Footplate LengthWheelbase LengthTurning Radius Unintended or uncontrollable direction.Ground Clearance Unexpected brake releaseDrive W heelThe higher the immunity level the greater theprotection. Your powered scooter has an immunitylevel of 20 V/m which should protect againstcommon sources of EMI. Warning: The scooter itselfcan disturb the performance of the electromagneticfields such as emitted by an alarm system.Front WheelRear Anti-TipCastorMaximum SpeedMaximum RangeStabilityS19AF250 lb. /115kg (18 stone)86 x 42 x 84cm34” x 16½” x 33”73 x 44 x 42cm28¾” x 17½” x 16½”32 x 40 x 38cm12½” x 16” x 15”37cm14½”63cm25”78cm31”3.5cm1.4”200mm x 50mm(8” x 2”) PU Tire180mm x 40mm(7” x 1.6”) PU TireStandard3.5 mph6 kph6 miles10 km3º (Dynamic)6º (Static)TRANSPORTING THE SCOOTERWeightThe scooter is suitable for transportation in the cargohold of an aircraft.The scooter should be folded, the key removedand the battery disconnected.

Horn Button. Press the horn button to sound thehorn. Release the button to stop the horn. Thehorn is the green button located on the controlpanel. Braking – Electromagnetic Brake. Release thewigwag paddle completely, and theelectromagnetic brake will be activatedautomatically and the scooter will stop.When on a gradient, never set the vehicleto freewheel mode. The brakes will not beapplied. Speed Dial. Turn the speed dial to determine themaximum speed of the scooter. Turn the dialclockwise to increase the speed setting and turnthe dial counter-clockwise to decrease the speedsetting. Light. Press the light switch to turn on theheadlight. Press the light switch again to turn thelight off.Do not adjust the speed dial while ridingas this could result in loss of control. Donot set the highest speed while ridingindoors. Handlebar Height Adjustment. Turn the largeadjustment knob on the front of the tilleranticlockwise to release the handlebar. Slide thehandlebar to the required position, then turn theknob clockwise to secure the handlebar in place. Moving and Braking. To move forward, squeezethe right hand side (RED) of the wigwag paddlewith your hand towards you while holding theNote: the light will only operate if the power isswitched on at the ignition.

Battery Gauge. The battery gauge on the tillerconsole lights LEDs to show remaining power:Green (3 or 4 LEDS lit) - 40% - 100% capacityYellow (2 LEDs lit) - draining charge (10% - 30%)Red (1 LED lit) - immediate recharge is necessary.The remaining power indicated by the battery gaugewill vary by the driving time incurred and how youride. Repeated starting, stopping and climbing willconsume power more quickly.

EMERGENCY CHARGING PROCEDUREBATTERY CHARGING AND CAREThe scooter comes with an emergency charging cable.If the scooter is folded up and the battery iscompletely flat, then the standard charging socketcan be difficult to access. In this instance, theemergency charging cable can be installed to allowthe battery to be charged while the scooter is folded.Step 1. Insert the charger in to the power outlet andswitch the power on. Ensure the charger is notconnected to the scooter, and one of the chargerLEDs is lit green.The emergency charging cable is shown below:Step 2. Insert the round plug on the charger in to thecharging port of the scooter (arrow below). The LEDshould change from green to red. The LED willchange back from red to green when charging iscompleted.To install the charging cable, plug this in to connectorcable at the front of the underside of the scooter(as shown below).The scooter should be left on charge until the batteryis fully recharged. A full recharge takes around 5hours. The status of the charge is shown by the LEDlights on the charger, and is described below:Install the cable, then proceed to charge the batteryas described in the next section.StatusStandby or ChargingCompleteCharging in progressOver current/voltage/Temperature, or otherfault statusPower LEDREDStatus LEDGREENREDREDREDFlashingRED andGREENEnsure that the charger is removed fromthe power outlet and the scooter aftercharging. Failure to do this may flattenthe battery. Do not remove the batterypack while the scooter is switched on.

Warning1. Only use the charger supplied with thescooter. Using the wrong type ofcharger may cause damage. Neverdisassemble or modify the scooter.2. Always charge the scooter in a wellventilated space. Avoid direct sunlightor contact with water and moisture.3.
