EMI WARNING

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) FROM RADIO WAVE

SOURCES

Powered motorized scooters 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, twoway radios, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the powered scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the powered scooter's control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V\M). Each powered scooter can resist up to a certain intensity. This is called "immunity level". The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection. At this time, current technology is capable of achieving at least a 20V\M immunity level, which would provide useful protection from the more common sources of radiated EMI. This powered scooter's immunity level as shipped is not known at this time. Testing is currently underway. There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in 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 warning listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimized.

The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:

1.Handheld portable transceivers (transmittersreceivers) 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.MediumRange 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.Longrange transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios. "NOTE: Other types of handheld 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 dyers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause problems to your powered scooter.

POWERED SCOOTER ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)

Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from handheld radio sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the powered scooter's control system while using these devices. This can affect powered scooter movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the powered scooter.

WARNINGS

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitter, twoway radios, and cellular phones can affect powered scooters. The following warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or powered scooter movement which could result in serious injury.

1.Do not operate handheld transceivers (transmittersreceivers), such as citizens band (CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the powered 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 powered scooter OFF as soon as it is safe;

4

4.Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered scooter, may make it more susceptible to EMI (NOTE: There is no easy way to evaluate the overall immunity of the powered scooter).

5.Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake to the powered scooter manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.

WHEELS AND TIRES

ALL SUNRUNNER^tm SCOOTERS HAVE SPLITRIM WHEELS

When changing a wheel, please remove centre bolt and then remove wheel.

Replace with new/repaired wheel and rebolt the centre bolt.

When changing a tire you must deflate the tire. Remove the centre bolt after deflation and then remove the remaining four bolts.

RULES FOR SAFE USE

Please do use your SUNRUNNERTM scooter often and let it expand your horizons. The more mobility your SUNRUNNER TM brings the happier we will be! But, as with all things, observing a few rules will ensure safe scootering. So please........

1. Do not ride the SUNRUNNER TM without reading this instruction manual.

2. Do not exceed any incline over a 8 ° (1 in 4) grade.

3. Do not carry passengers.

4. Do not mount or dismount SUNRUNNER TM unless brake is engaged.

5. Do not operate SUNRUNNER TM if the unit is in freewheel mode.

6. Do not mount or dismount SUNRUNNER TM unless key switch is OFF.

7. Do not back up SUNRUNNER TM onto uneven surfaces or inclines.

8. Do not back up SUNRUNNER TM unless the speed governing dial is set low.

9. Do not turn suddenly at full speed.

10. Do not ride SUNRUNNERm where you cannot safely or legally walk.

11. Do not ride SUNRUNNER TM unless the seat is locked into riding position.

12. Do not ride SUNRUNNER TM over deep, soft terrain, (e.g. soft dirt, deep grass, loose gravel).

13. Do not drink alcoholic beverages and then ride.

14. Do not climb curbs that exceed your model's capacity.

15. Always stop fully before changing direction, (forward or reverse).

16. Always approch curbs at low speed Always approach curbs at low speed.

17. Always approach curbs at a 90% angle.

18. Always keep your feet on the platform when riding.

19. Always proceed carefully while riding, especially as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or hill.

20. Always proceed carefully while riding on uneven surfaces.

21. Always consult your physician if in doubt about your ability to operate a scooter.

22. When proceeding up any incline please move seat to the most forward position or if you have deluxe seat put the seat back in 90° position.

23. TRANSPORT  Do not sit on your SUNRUNNER TM while the scooter is in a vehicle. Always strap down the scooter, then transfer to vehicle seat, fasten safety belt.

OPERATING THE SUNRUNNER

CONTROL FEATURES

1.Speed Adjustment Dial: (See Fig. 1 2) This allows you to preselect your desired top speed. The dial can be set anywhere between 0 and 10 incre­ments. Turn the dial to slow for very gentle operation. Turn it clockwise to increase your speed.

2.Horn Button: (See Fig. 1 2) Press button to cause a warning sound. Thumb Lever Control (WigWag): (See Figure 1 2) Located under handle bar grips. Your speed, forward and reverse motion is controlled here. The right thumb lever moves the SUNRUNNER TM in a forward motion and also controls the rate of speed by the amount of pressure applied. The left thumb lever moves the SUNRUNNER T11 in a reverse motion and controls the rate of speed by the pressure applied. The lever when released will return itself, and you will stop gently. All braking is engaged when either lever is released.

 

Figure 2

4.LED Battery Indicator: (See Figure 1 2) Located on side of control

panel (beside the horn). These lights indicate the amount of charge

you have in the batteries. Green is safe or fully charged. Yellow is caution

and approximately half charge. Red is warning and less than half a charge.

5.Key Switch: ( See Figure 1 2) Located directly on the right hand side of the control panel. Insert the key vertically (Figure 1) and turn to horizontal position (Figure 2) to engage (green LED light will illuminate). To turn off scooter turn key back to vertical position and remove.

 

DELTA TILLER CONTROL

Figure 3

1.Delta Control Tiller: (See Figure 3) This handle can be adapted to any of the SHOPRIDERTM scooters. It is ideal for anyone who has poor thumb control or has any kind of tremor. Steering can be done with the palms of the hands.

2.Wigwag Extensions: (See Figure 3) These can be adapted to any SUNRUNNER T"'' scooter. This extension will now make the thumb control wigwag a finger control. Your authorized SHOPRIDERTM dealer is able to reverse the levers so when you pull on the right lever you will go forward and when you pull on the left lever you will go in reverse.
