INITIAL ASSEMBLY In order to avoid shipping damage, the batteries and the seat unit are packaged with the base but not assembled, so you will need to assemble them onto the main frame of your scooter OPENING THE PACKING BOX Open the packing box of your new scooter and remove all of the protective materials, then carefully remove the scooter and separated components from the box. ADJUSTING ANGLE OF TILLER (Figure 4.
INITIAL ASSEMBLY (continued) ASSEMBLING BATTERY UNIT (Figure 6. & 6.1) • Lower the battery case into the trough and ensure that the electrode terminals are aligned. • Loosen safety locking knob located directly behind the black seat post, turn the locking cap such that it is centred over each side of the battery case, and then retighten the locking knob. CAUTION! Please always keep the battery case metal contacts (electrodes) clean. Dirty contacts can lead to the malfunction of the batteries.
DISASSEMBLY Your EZee Life™ mobility scooter has been designed to easily disassemble and transport. You can easily disassemble the scooter into four pieces, the front section, the rear section, the seat unit and the battery case (Figure 9). DISASSEMBLY • Lift the seat off of the scooter seat post. • Loosen the battery case safety lock cap (Figure 6.1) and remove battery case from scooter (Figure 6.). • Remove the front to rear wire harness connection (Figure 10.
ADJUSTMENTS Before operating the scooter, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase your comfort, such as the seat height, armrest width, and tiller angle. WARNING! Remove the key from the key switch before adjustments. Never attempt to do adjustments while the scooter is in motion. SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT • Lift up on the seat lock lever and pull the seat off of the seat post. • Remove the seat post adjustment pin.
OPERATION TILLER CONSOLE The tiller console houses all of the tools needed to operate your scooter, including the key switch, the speed adjustment knob, throttle control lever, battery condition indicator, horn button and the headlight button. KEY SWITCH (Figure 2.) • Plug the key into the key switch opening • The battery indicator gauge will illuminate when the key switch 1s been engaged. • Removing the key will power down the scooter. WARNING! Do not remove the key while the scooter is moving.
OPERATION (continued) BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR (Figure 2.) When your scooter is powered up, this indicator shows the remaining capacity of the batteries. • When pointing to green, this indicates that the batteries are fully charged. • When pointing to yellow, just half capacity of the batteries remains and it needs to be recharged. • When pointing to red, the batteries have been fully discharged, and need to be charged immediately. HORN AND HEADLIGHT BUTTONS (Figure 2.
OPERATION (continued) CAUTION! Never use your scooter in free wheel mode without an attendant. Failure to do so may cause personal injury. CAUTION! Never put your scooter in freewheel mode on any incline. Failure to do so may cause personal injury. WARNING! Your scooter will not operate in Free wheel mode. BATTERIES AND CHARGING Your scooter uses two long lasting, 12-volt deep cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free.
BATTERIES AND CHARGING (continued) • The red light on the charger turns on to indicate the charger is on. • When charging is complete, the light turns green. • It is recommended that you charge your batteries for 10-12 hours. • When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the off-board charger from the wall outlet and then from the 3-pin charger power receptacle. • The batteries can also be charged with the battery case removed from the scooter.
BATTERIES AND CHARGING (continued) QUESTION: How often must the batteries be charged? ANSWER: You can charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using your scooter. This is for the benefit of prolonging the life of the batteries. If you use your scooter infrequently (once a week or less), then you should charge the batteries at least once per week for 10-12 hours.
BATTERIES AND CHARGING (continued) Heat robs the charge from the batteries, and cold slows the power available and extends the time needed to recharge the batteries (just as with a car battery). It might take a few days for the temperature of the battery to stabilize and adjust to its new ambient temperature. It will take a few “recharging cycles” (a partial drain-then a full recharge) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to the battery’s peak performance and long life.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your scooter, like any motorized vehicle requires a routine maintenance check. Preventative maintenance is very important. You can perform some of these regular checks by yourself. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can help ensure that your scooter gives you years of troublefree operation. MOISTURE You should avoid positioning your scooter in damp areas of any kind.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE (continued) • You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain the scooter’s high gloss appearance. • All wheel bearings are pre-lubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication. CAUTION! If you do not use the scooter for a long period, its recommended that you block up your scooter so that the tires do not touch the ground. This prevents flat spots from forming on the tire. DAILY CHECK • With the power off, check the throttle control lever.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE (continued) CLEANING • Never use a hose on your scooter or place it in direct contact with water. • Your scooter has an ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth. • Never use any chemicals to clean the seat, as they may cause the seat to become slippery or dry out and crack. Clean with a damp cloth and dry the seat thoroughly.
SAFETY INFORMATION (continued) WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline. Drive your scooter straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline. WARNING! Don’t drive up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e. Areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves). WARNING! Never drive down an incline backwards. This could cause injury.
SAFETY INFORMATION (continued) WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 8 degrees may put your scooter in an unstable position, and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter. WARNING! When your scooter is traveling, the free-wheel lever should be in a downward position, i.e. in powered mode. If not, the brake system disengage, and a dangerous situation may be caused. WARNING! Do not use your scooter free-wheel mode without an attendant present.
SAFETY INFORMATION (continued) IN OR OUT OF ELEVATORS Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that when you push, reopens the elevator door. If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the doors begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the scooter and the door will reopen. Take care that pocketbooks, packages, or scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
SAFETY INFORMATION (continued) GETTING ON OR OFF SCOOTER Getting onto and off your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Assistance may be required from your attendant when learning to get on or off your scooter. To avoid an injury, please observe the following safety tips when getting on or off your scooter. • Ensure that the power is turned off; see “OPERATION”. • Ensure that your scooter is not in free-wheel mode.
SAFETY INFORMATION (continued) LIMITATION TO MEDICINES AND ALCOHOL Scooter users have to exercise care and common sense while operating their scooter. This includes awareness of safety issues while under the influence of medication or alcohol. If the user consumes alcohol, or is taking medication that affects their sense of reactive ability, never use the scooter.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI) EMI/RFI WARNINGS Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy, and can cause unintended motion of electric mobility vehicles. When electromagnetic energy adversely affects the operation of an electrical device, that adverse effect is called “Electromagnetic Interference” or EMI, or “Radio Frequency Interference” or RFI.
TROUBLESHOOTING DIAGNOSTIC BEEPING SYSTEM Your scooter has been designed with a diagnostic beeping system that will warn the user when a non-operating condition exists. The chart below describes the potential non- operating conditions, the corresponding beeping sound sequences, and the possible solutions. Please note that the symbol ( * ) represents a short beeping sound and the symbol ( ___ ) represents a longer beeping sound.
WARRANTY INFORMATION THREE MONTH LIMITED WARRANTY The batteries are covered by a three month limited warranty. WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS Transaxle: In cases where there is an increase in the operational noise level, the warranty does not apply. (The increase in operational noise level usually occurs due to abusive and excessive strain on the scooter). Motor: If damage occurs to the motor commutator as a result of not replacing the motor brushes after heavy wear to the brushes.
