                            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 sou

                            STARTING TO DRIVE YOUR SCOOTER    First Time Use  Prior to using your Dasher Portable scooter for the first time, you must charge the batteries  fully (refer to Battery Charging Procedures).

                            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 where ever 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 thumb levers are released the scooter will slowly sto
