SAFETY ADVICE
• Do not carry passengers.
• Do not exceed inclines over 8 degrees (14% grade).
• Do not turn on steep inclines.
• Do not turn suddenly at high speeds.
• Do not get on or off the scooter unless the brake is on and the scooter is switched off.
• Do not switch off the scooter while the scooter is moving.
• Do not drive the scooter where you can not safely or legally walk.
• Do not attempt to drive over curbs greater than 2 inches (5cm.) in height. Doing so could cause
your scooter to turn over, causing injury or damage to the scooter. For curbs less than 2 inches,
always approach them at an angle of 90 degrees and at a low speed.
• Do not drink or use a mobile phone when driving your scooter.
• Do not exceed the suggested user weight limit. Doing so, could cause personal injury and
invalidate the warranty.
• Always keep your feet on the scooter when moving.
• Consult your doctor if there is any doubt about your ability to use a scooter safely.
• Always slow down and proceed carefully when traveling over rough or uneven ground.
• For individuals with balance problems, practice getting on the scooter with the assistance of a
qualified healthcare professional.
• If equipped, DO NOT operate the scooter without anti-tip wheels installed.
• Do not use an escalator to move a scooter between floors. Serious injury could occur.
• Do not drive the scooter on an incline that has oil, water or ice film on it.
• Do not try to lift the scooter by its seat, tiller, rear chassis cover, or any removable parts. Any
of these could cause injury to the user or damage to the scooter.
• Do not use parts or accessories that are not authorized by Shoprider® Mobility Products.
• Before sitting in or exiting the scooter, REMOVE the key from the ignition. This will insure
the POWER is off and the scooter can not move under its own power.
• As a general precaution, always remove the key from the ignition while the scooter is not in
use. This will prevent use by untrained and unauthorized persons.
• Do not connect any medical device to the scooter battery. This could cause failure of the
device, the scooter and personal injury.
• Make sure the tiller is properly adjusted to the user or damage and injury could result.
• Shoprider® Mobility Products doesn’t recommend that scooter users be transported in a
vehicle WHILE they are in the scooter…and will not be responsible for any injury or damage
that might result.
• Do not use the scooter in the rain, near a shower or in a damp bathroom. Direct exposure to
rain or dampness could cause the scooter to electrically malfunction and prematurely rust.

EMI Warning
Shoprider® scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is a kind
of interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV
stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radio, and cellular phones. The
interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the scooter to release its brakes, move by itself,
or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the scooter’s control system.
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.
NOTE! 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.
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, and cassette players, and small appliances, such as
electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause problems to the
scooter.
Scooter 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 sources (transceivers) are of special
concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the
scooter’s control system while using these devices. This can affect scooter movement and
braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference
with the control system of the scooter.
WARNINGS
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
scooter 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 scooter OFF as soon as it is safe.
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the scooter may make it more
susceptible to EMI.
NOTE! There is no easy way to evaluate the overall immunity of the scooter.
5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or braking to your Shoprider® provider, and
note whether there are sources of EMI nearby.
WARNING: Shoprider® Mobility Products is not responsible for damage or injury incurred
due to improper and unsafe use of our scooter.

STARTING TO DRIVE YOUR SCOOTER
Getting Started
• Select a level area with plenty of space.
• Mount the scooter, either by lifting the arm and sliding on to the seat or rotate the seat
outwards and then rotate the seat back to face the tiller.
• Adjust the tiller and seat as described previously.
Starting Scooter Movement
• Ensure that you are seated in a comfortable position.
• Turn the key to the ON position.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• Your speed setting should be on 1 or 2.
• Pull your right hand finger lever, the scooter will move forward slowly. The harder you pull
the faster the scooter goes but will only reach the speed level that has been selected.
• Release the lever and the scooter will slowly come to a stop and the magnetic brake will be
applied.
Steering
Steering the scooter is light and easy. Ensure when starting off you give a wide clearance when
turning so that the rear wheels clear any obstacle that you are passing. When steering through
limited spaces such as a doorway or when turning around, turn the tiller handles where you want
to go and apply power gently. The scooter will turn very tightly, but will still move with
complete stability as long as the speed is not too high.
Reversing
Before reversing ensure that the area behind is free from any hazards or obstructions. Adjust
your speed setting to a low setting before you reverse. Pull/press the left thumb/finger lever, and
steer wide of all corners and obstacles.
Dismounting
Before dismounting ensure that the key is turned to the off position.
CAUTION: Please ensure that care is exercised when entering
or leaving the scooter and that the tiller and foot rest is not used for support.
EXTRA GUIDELINES IN THE CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER
Ramps
The stability of your scooter is governed by several factors such as the seating position, the angle
of the slope and your height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so directly and not at
an angle and whenever possible avoid making turns. When going down a ramp or slope keep the
speed settings to slow. This will ensure there is a safe controlled descent. When the finger
levers are released the scooter will slowly stop.
Caution - Do not turn off the control key while the unit is in motion
Grass and Gravel
Please follow the guidelines given previously and your scooter will perform admirably over
many surfaces. Avoid long grass, loose gravel and sand.
NOTE: You should not operate your scooter in wet weather or on wet surfaces. This may
cause the motor to sort out.

BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGER
The Shoprider® scooter is supplied with maintenance free, sealed lead acid batteries. Battery
performance can be affected by temperature, terrain, condition of battery, the weight of the user,
etc. The battery level indicator is only a guide and is most effective when the scooter is moving,
only then is the true discharge level displayed.
• When the scooter stops the battery level indicator may indicate full.
• An active user can use up to 30% of battery capacity or more per day.
• Inactive users may only use 50% of battery capacity in a week.
• In both these instances the battery should be put on charge over night.
Battery Charger
Batteries supplied with your scooter are specially designed. All the units require an automatic
battery charger. These chargers have an electronic switch that will terminate the charge when
the batteries are fully charged.
The battery chargers for the Sunrunner™ 3 and Sunrunner™ 4 are 3-amp transformer type off
board chargers. The battery chargers for the Sunrunner™ 3 Deluxe and Sunrunner™ 4 Deluxe
are 4-amp transformer type on board chargers.
Charging
To charge the batteries connect the plug lead into the battery-charging socket on the
scooter/battery pack and the 3-prong plug into the wall socket and switch on. FOR
Sunrunner™ 3 and Sunrunner™ 4 ONLY: the battery charger has two lights. The red light
when constant shows the battery charger is connected if the red light flashes; there is a break in
the connection. The green light flashes when the batteries are receiving charge and is constant
when the charge is complete. FOR Sunrunner™ 3 Deluxe and Sunrunner™ 4 Deluxe
ONLY: Next to the charger is an LED indicator which gives you the status of your charge.
CAUTION: Always ensure that the charging lead is in good condition and has not been
damaged or stretched.
MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
At six-month intervals you should lubricate the following parts with a light oil or similar
lubricant:
• Seat pivot post.
• Seat release lever pinion.

Wheels and Tires
The wheels of your scooter all have split rims. This allows any punctures to be repaired easily.
To change the wheels remove the center bolt and slide the wheel off its axle. Ensure that when
refitting the wheel the retaining bolt is fitted with a locking washer or the screw threads are
treated with lock-tite or a similar adhesive. When changing a tire the inner tube must be
deflated. Remove the four bolts from the wheel and split the rim. Tire pressure is recommended
to be kept at 30 psi on the rear tires, and 25 psi on the front.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Circuit Breaker
Your scooter is fitted with the latest in electronic controls that are programmed to protect the
electrical system from abnormal overloads. Fitted for extra protection is a circuit breaker, should
there be a situation that your scooter stops for no apparent reason please check that the circuit
breaker has not popped out. The circuit breaker can be found under the rear chassis cover
accessible through a port hole under the seat.
Check List
If your scooter fails to operate, please check the following:
• Unit is switched on.
• All plugs and connectors are firmly fixed.
• Battery level shows full charge.
• Freewheeling device is in the drive position.
If the free wheel device has been operated with the scooter left switched on, then the scooter will
not operate until the ignition key has been switched off and then on again.
