D. EMI

Read Section V to learn about EMI. To reduce the risk of unintended brake release or scooter movement:

1.Never turn on or use a hand-held transceiver while power to your scooter is on. Use extra care if you believe that such a device may be in use near your scooter.

2.Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations, and avoid coming close to them.

3.If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn your scooter off as soon as it is safe.

E.SAFETY CHECK-LIST

Before each use of this scooter:

1.Make sure the scooter operates smoothly. Check for noise, vibration, or a change in ease of use. (They may indicate low tire pressure, loose fasteners, or damage to your scooter). If you detect a problem, make sure to repair or adjust the scooter. Deferring repair or adjustment could increase the risk for injury. Your supplier can help you find and correct the problem.

2.Make sure batteries are charged. Green lights on charge indicator will light up (or charge indicator will indicate a full charge) when charge is full. Yellow lights indicate battery charge level is getting low. Red lights indicate batteries are in immediate need of charging.

F.CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS

Never use non-Guardian parts or make changes to your scooter unless authorized by Sunrise. (Doing so will void the Warranty and may create a safety hazard).

1.If you modify or adjust this scooter it may increase the risk of a fall or tip-over.

2.Modifications unauthorized by Sunrise constitutes remanufacturing of the scooter. This voids the warranty. The rider then assumes all future liability for the scooter.

G.WHEN SEATED IN A PARKED SCOOTER

1.Always turn off all power to your scooter when you are parked, even for a moment. This will prevent:

•Accidental movement from contact with the control pod by you or others. •Unintended brake release or movement from EMI sources. (See Section V)

2.Make sure that persons who help you (for example, store clerks) are aware of the control pod and do not touch it. If they do, your scooter may move suddenly when you do not expect it.

H.ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Your scooter is not designed for use in a heavy rain storm, or in snowy or icy conditions.

1.Contact with water or excessive moisture can cause an electrical malfunction. The frame, motors and other scooter parts are not watertight and may rust or corrode from the inside. To avoid a scooter failure:

•Minimize exposure of your scooter to a rain storm or very wet conditions.

•Never take your scooter into a shower, tub, pool or sauna.

•Do not use your scooter in fresh or salt water (such as at the edge of a stream, lake, or ocean).

•Make sure shroud cover is secure.

•Make sure all electrical connections are secure.

•Dry the scooter as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if you use water to clean it.
