Safety/Handling of Powered Scooters
“Safety and Handling” of the powered scooter requires the close attention of the user. This manual points out the most common procedures and
techniques involved in the safe operation and maintenance. It is important to practice and master these safe techniques until you are comfortable in
maneuvering the powered scooter.
Use this information only as a “basic” guide. The techniques that are discussed have been used successfully by many. Individual users often develop
skills to deal with daily living activities that may differ from those described in this manual. Invacare recognizes and encourages each individual to try
what works best for him/her in overcoming obstacles that they may encounter; however, all warnings and cautions given in this manual MUST be
followed. Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new powered scooter user with “safety” as the most important consideration for all.
WARNING
ƽ
DO NOT make sharp turns in the forward or reverse direction at excessive speed. Failure to observe the warning can
cause the scooter to tip over and may result in injury to user and/or damage to the product.
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the seat positioning strap is an option on this scooter (you may
order with or without the seat positioning strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning strap as an
additional safeguard for the scooter user. The seat positioning strap is a positioning strap only. It is not designed for use as
a safety device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, strap must be
replaced immediately.

2.1 EMI Information
CAUTION
ƽ
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS INFORMATION REGARDING THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED WHEELCHAIR.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources
Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters (in this text, both will be referred to as powered wheelchairs) may be susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, two way radios, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the powered wheelchair to release its brakes,
move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the powered wheelchair's control system. The intensity of the
interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each powered wheelchair can resist EMI up to a 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.
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.
14
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
2 SAFETY
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1. 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).
Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they are ON, even when not being used.
2. 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
3. Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur
(HAM) radios.
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, so far as we know, are not likely to cause EMI
problems to your powered wheelchair.
Powered Wheelchair Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves 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 powered wheelchair's
control system while using these devices. This can affect powered wheelchair movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are
recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the powered wheelchair.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular
phones can affect powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters.
FOLLOWING THE WARNINGS LISTED BELOW SHOULD REDUCE THE CHANCE OF UNINTENDED BRAKE RELEASE OR POWERED
WHEELCHAIR MOVEMENT WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
15

2 SAFETY
WARNING
ƽ
1) 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 powered wheelchair is turned ON;
2) Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming close to them;
3) If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered wheelchair OFF as soon as it is safe;
4) Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered wheelchair, may make it more
susceptible to EMI (NOTE: There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the powered
wheelchair); and
5) Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the powered wheelchair manufacturer, and
note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.
Important Information
1) 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);
2) This device has been tested to a radiated immunity level of 20 volts per meter.
3) The immunity level of the product is unknown.
Modification of any kind to the electronics of this scooter as manufactured by Invacare may adversely affect the EMI
immunity levels.

otherwise injury or damage may result.
DO NOT make sharp turns in the forward or reverse direction at excessive speed. Failure to observe the warning can
cause the scooter to tip over and may result in injury to user and/ or damage to the product.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several
combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before attempting active use of the powered scooter.
Ensure seat is properly locked before attempting transfer into or out of the powered scooter. Attempting unsafe transfers
may cause a fall from the powered scooter resulting in bodily injury.
For individuals with balance problems, practice transferring activities with an assistant in the presence of a qualified
healthcare professional. DO NOT attempt to transfer into or out of the powered scooter without assistance.
4. Transfer to the seat:
•
•
Flip up the armrest to make entering easier.
Rotate the seat to the direction of transfer. Refer to Adjusting 90° Seat Swivel on page 37.
5. Once you have transferred into the seat, rotate seat to the forward position and flip arms down.
7. Adjust speed control knob to the appropriate setting.
For driving indoors or on uneven terrain, a slower speed is recommended. For soft terrain or steep inclines (no greater
than 8°), a faster speed may be necessary.

6 OPERATING THE POWERED SCOOTER
8. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the On position.
The key is on the right side just below the control panel.
The control panel illuminates when the key is turned to the On position.
WARNING
ƽ
ALWAYS depress the throttle control lever gradually. This will ensure smooth safe starts.
When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while in forward motion, the powered scooter will roll
back approximately one foot before brake engages. If the throttle control lever is released while in reverse motion the
powered scooter will roll back approximately three feet before brake engages.
Throttle control levers operate such that moving one will also move the opposite side throttle control lever.
The throttle control lever is located below the control panel.
9. To operate the scooter, depress the throttle control lever in the following manner:
•
•
•
To Move Forward - Push the right side throttle control lever (away from the user) or pull the left side throttle control lever towards the
user).
To Move in Reverse - Push the left side throttle control lever (away from the user) or pull the right side throttle control lever (towards the
user).
To Stop - Release the throttle control lever and the powered scooter will quickly slow down and the brake will engage.
The powered scooter is equipped with a “proportional” control meaning that the farther you depress the throttle control lever, the faster the
powered scooter travels. With a proportional control, you can drive as slowly in the high speed setting as you can in the low speed setting. Your top
speed, however, is limited by the setting of the speed-control knob. For safety reasons, reverse speed is limited to approximately 50% of forward
speed.
When first learning to drive, adjust speed control knob for a slow speed and try to drive the powered scooter as slowly as possible by depressing the
throttle control lever only slightly. This exercise will help you learn to utilize the full potential of the proportional control and allow you to start and
stop smoothly.
