This manual covers the following models of Shoprider Scooters-778 Seies-888 Series-889 Series


Electromagnetic interference (EMI) fromsources such as radio and TV stations,amateur radio (HAM) transmitter,two-way radios, and cellular phones canaffect powered scooters.

The following warnings listed belowshould reduce the chance of unintendedbrake release or powered scootermovement which could result in seriousinjury.

1. Do not operate hand-held trans-ceivers (transmitters-receivers), such ascitizens’ band (CB) radios, or turn ONpersonal communications devices, suchas cellular phones, while the poweredscooter is turned ON.

2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, suchas radio or TV stations, and try to avoidcoming close to them.

3. If unintended movement or brakerelease occurs, turn the powered scooter OFF as soon as it is safe.

4. Be aware that adding accessories orcomponents, or modifying the poweredscooter, may make it more susceptible toEMI (NOTE:There is no easy way toevaluate the overall immunity of thepowered scooter).

Report all incidents of unintended move-ment or brake to the powered scootermanufacturer, and note whether there isa source of EMI nearby.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE(EMI) FROM RADIO WAVESOURCES

Powered motorised scooters may besusceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interferingelectromagnetic energy (EMI) emittedfrom sources such as radio stations,TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones.

Interference (from radio wave sources)can cause the powered scooter torelease its brakes, move by itself, ormove in unintended directions. It canalso permanently damage the poweredscooter’s control system.

The intensity of the interfering EMIenergy can be measured in volts permeter (V/M). Each powered scooter can resist up to a certain intensity.This is called “immunity level”.The higher the immunity level, the greaterthe protection.

At this time, current technology is capable of achieving at least a 20 V/Mimmunity level, which would provide useful protection from the more common sources of radiated EMI.

There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fieldsin everyday environment. Some of thesesources 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 minimised.Thesources of radiated EMI can be broadlyclassified into three types:

1. Hand-held portable transceivers(transmitters-receivers) with the antenna mounted directly on the transmitting unit.Examples are: citizen band cellularradios,“walkie talkie”, security, fire andpolice transceivers, cellular telephones,and other personal communicationdevices.* NOTE: some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while theyare on, even when not in used.

2. Medium-Range mobile transceivers,such as those used in police cars, firetrucks, 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, suchas electric shavers and hair dryers, so far aswe know, are NOT likely to cause problemsto your powered scooter.

POWERED SCOOTER ELECTROMAG-NETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)Because EMI energy rapidly becomesmore intense as one moves closer tothe transmitting antenna (source), theEMI fields from hand-held radio sources(transceivers) are of special concern.

It is possible to unintentionally bring highlevels of EMI energy very close to thepowered scooter’s control system whileusing these devices.This can affect powered scooter movement and braking.Therefore, the warnings listedbelow are recommended to preventpossible interference with the controlsystem of the powered scooter.

MOUNTING

For your first sessions be sure you andthe SHOPRlDER™ are on a level sur-face. Put the key in its slot, but leave itturned OFF.

At this point you may want to eitherswivel & lock the seat towards you orraise the armrests, to facilitate transfer-ring to the seat of your SHOPRIDER™.Instructions for these adjustments arecovered under “Seat Controls”.

Be sure the seat is steady before you sitdown. If you have a cane or crutch, placeit in the optional cane/crutch holder.Seat yourself and swing the seat to facethe handlebars.

Make sure you are straight, and the seatis locked in place.

Next, turn the “Speed Adjustment Dial”to slow, and turn key to the ON posi-tion. Press the right “Thumb LeverControl” to start you in a forwardmotion.

To STOP, simply let go, and your brakeswill apply automatically.

DISMOUNTING

ALWAYS TURN THE KEY TO THE OFFPOSITION BEFORE DISMOUNTING.Use your armrests if you require steady-ing rather than the front tiller whenmounting or dismounting yourSHOPRIDER™.

PARKING IN PUBLIC

If you need to park and leave yourSHOPRIDER™, simply remove your key.This will keep the brake on.This will alsomake your scooter difficult to move. It isbest to leave it in sight of someone like astore clerk who can watch it for you.

Another precaution is to note your seri-al number and date of purchase, in thewarranty section of this manual.

To locate your scooter’s serial number: itis located along with the model number,on a stamped plate.The plate is attachedto the axle, between the two wheels.On 4 wheel models: this plate isbetween the FRONT wheelsOn 3 wheel models: this plate isbetween the BACK wheels.

STEERING

Is easy and logical. Just be sure toremember to give wide clearance whenturning so that the rear wheels clear anyobstacle. Short cutting a sidewalk cornercan mean the back wheel will go off thesidewalk causing problems if the corneris very rough.

Again, avoid this at all times by steeringan exaggerated wide arc around theobstacle.

If you must steer in a tight spot, such asentering a doorway or when turningaround, stop, turn the handlebars towhere you want to go, then apply powergently.

This will make the SHOPRIDER™ turnvery sharp. It will still go gently, and withcomplete stability.

BASIC DRIVING

Make sure you are properly seated onthe SHOPRIDER™, and that the “SpeedControl Dial” is turned to slow.Push the “Thumb Lever Control”, asdescribed earlier. You will very gentlyaccelerate. Release the lever, and you willgently stop.Practice these two basic functions untilyou are used to them.

BACKING UP requires attention.Turn your “Speed Control Dial” to slowbefore you back up. Push the left“Thumb Lever Control”.Remember, when you back up you haveto steer in the opposite direction to theway you want to go.

Remember: If it is a tight turn, turn yoursteering column before applying power.Steer wide of all corners and obstacles.If you’re not moving and you are goingthrough a door, your rear wheel is prob-ably caught. Reverse and try again.Takeyour time.

Operating the Shoprider

COMMON OBSTACLES

Chances are good that when you startreally using your SHOPRIDER™ you will meet some obstacles that willrequire some practice to drive throughsmoothly.

DOORS Approach an unfamiliar door slowly, siz-ing it up. Does it have a knob or pushbar? Does it open towards you or away?Think in terms of using the power of theSHOPRIDER™ to do the work for you!

Hold the doorknob or bar in one handand apply the power with the otherhand. If it is a self closing door, you cango through allowing the door to closebehind you, if you go quickly enough. Ifnot, just stop when you are clear of thedoor and push it closed.

If the door opens toward you, hold theknob or bar with one hand and gentlypress on your left thumb lever, and allowthe gentle reverse power to do thework.When the door is open wideenough, push the forward lever and goahead quickly, leaving your hand on thedoor to keep it free of the scooter andletting go as you pass the doorjam. It isan easy technique.

RAMPSWith recent changes in building codes,more buildings require ramps for wheel-chair & scooter access. Some have aswitchback in the middle, and good cornering is required.

Just take wide swings with your frontwheels around any tight corners, so theback tyres do not hit any obstacle.

GRAVEL, GRASS & GRADEPacked gravel such as on driveways orroads will present no problem. Loose,deep gravel should be avoided, as well asloosely packed sand.With the power ofyour SHOPRIDER™ scooter, you areable to climb steep hills, but the maxi-mum safe grade limit is 8 degrees or anincline of approximately 4 to 1 (seebelow).The reason for this is to ensure properstability.

REMEMBER, READ AND FOLLOW THESAFETY RULES AT THE FRONT OFTHIS MANUAL.

Maximum Climbing Angle: 8˚


DISMANTLING THE SHOPRIDER™

The SHOPRIDER™ is manufacturedwith portability in mind. Dismantling theSHOPRIDER™ can be done quickly andno tools are required.

1. Safety Pin (figure 9)This pin attached to a chain is the deviceused to separate the front from the rearof the scooter.This pin is also used tohold the anti-tip wheels in place.

2. Electric Plugs (figure 10)These plugs consist of a shrouded malepart and a shrouded female part.

They are polarised (can only be put inone way) and are easy to connect anddisconnect.

They are also colour coded.The plugsare as follows:

two battery plugs (red & black),charger plug (blue),control plug (yellow),motorplug (white).

To disconnect, simply take the plug anddepress the release on top and pull thetwo parts apart. (On some models oneorange plug incorporates all controlplugs).

3. Main Control Plug (figure 10)Located behind the batteries on the left(yellow in colour). Locate the top of theplug, depress the release and pull thetwo parts of the plug apart.

4. Battery Straps (figure 10) This strap secures the batteries in place.Because all the straps are Velcro thereare no buckles to fasten or unfasten.

There are also two battery straps thatgo laterally around each battery.Theseallow you to lift each battery up.

5. Battery Charger Plug (figure 10)Located behind the batteries on the leftside (blue plug). Locate the top of theplug, depress the plug release and pullthe two parts of the plug apart.

6.Adjustable Tiller Lever (figure 11) This lever is located on the left side ofthe tiller. By pushing the lever you canmake the tiller constantly adjustable.By pulling the lever you can adjust and lock the tiller in three separate positions.

WHEELS AND TYRES (figure 13)

All SHOPRIDER™ scooters have split-rim wheels.When changing a wheel,please remove central bolt and thenremove wheel. Replace withnew/repaired wheel and tighten thecentral bolt.(When chang ing a t y re youmus t d e fl a te the tyre ).Remove the centre bolt after deflationand then remove the remaining fourbolts.

TYRE PRESSURE – 10”, 12” and 14”:Maximum 30 psi on the rear tyres,

26 psi on the front tyres.NOTE: On the tyre itself it states maxi-mum tyre pressure is 50 psi.This is amaximum tyre pressure and the tyresshould never be inflated to this pressure.

Attention - Tyres should be maintainedat the correct pressure noted toensure even wear and ride comfort

CIRCUIT BREAKER & FUSE

If your scooter stops for no apparentreason, it is probably due to the circuitbreaker located on the main controlbox.This is located under the seatthrough a hole on the top of the rearshroud.

Occasionally, there is a temporaryoverload on the electric circuit. If thisoccurs, the circuit breaker will pop out.It is merely a matter of pressing thecircuit breaker button back in.

To do this, turn your key to the OFFposition, press circuit breaker button,then turn the key to the ON position.Your scooter also has a fuse to protectthe electronics of the SHOPRIDER™.

This is located on all models of theSHOPRIDER™ also in the main con-trol box.

If you have no power, reset your circuitbreaker, the next thing to check is yourfuse. Simply unscrew the cap andremove the fuse.

If the fuse is blown replace it with anew fuse.The rating of the fuse is a 2.5amp.This fuse can be purchased at anyelectronics shop or local Shopriderdealer.
