Operation Manual

Operating Your Shoprider® Scooter
Mounting the Scooter
For your first lesson be sure you and your Shoprider® are on a level surface
with plenty of room to test drive the scooter
(ensure the key is not in the scooter)
Mount the scooter, either by lifting the armrest and sliding on to the seat or
rotate the seat by lifting seat swivel lever and then rotate to face the tiller.
Make sure the seat locks in place.
Adjust the seat so you are comfortable and are able to easily reach the
steering tiller.
Adjust the tiller.
Ensure you have both hands free and any items such as walking canes are
stored in the optional cane/crutch holder (see the dealer if you require one
of these optional items).
Starting Scooter Movement
Insert the Key in to the slot and turn it to the ON position
The speed setting should be set to 1 or 2 setting.
Pull the right hand finger lever (Wig Wag) the scooter will move slowly
forward. The further you pull/ push the faster the scooter goes but will only
reach the speed level that has been selected.
To STOP 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 then 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.
Do not turn sharply at high speed
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 (Wig Wag), and steer wide of all corners
and obstacles.
Remember that when reversing you have to steer in the opposite direction to the
way you want to go. Take your time when reversing to ensure you do not run it
to any objects.
Please note your scooter will always travel slower in reverse and has a slight
delay before moving, this is due to safety measures built into the scooters
electric system.
