Getting Started
• You must fully charge the batteries prior to rst use. (‘See Batteries and Charging’)
• Select an area of space.
• Mount the scooter by lifting the arm and sliding into the seat.
• Ensure the seat is securely locked in the forward position before driving.
• Adjust the tiller and seat if necessary. ( See ‘Adjustments’)
• Do not use the tiller to fully support you during transfer.
Check list
Please check the following before moving
The scooters speed and direction is controlled by the ‘wig-wag’ lever. The arrows shown in the image
above show the direction in which the scooter will move when the lever is operated as indicated.
Moving O
Ensure that you are seated in a comfortable position. Turn the key to the on position.
Your speed setting should be on 1 or 2. Pull your right hand nger lever, the scooter will move forward
slowly. The harder you pull the faster the scooter goes but will only reach the speed level that has
been selected. Release the lever and the scooter will slowly come to a stop and the magnetic brake
will be applied.
Starting to Drive
Caution:
Never sit on the scooter and free wheel down a hill as this can cause permanent damage
to the motor, brake and controller due to excessive regenerative braking. As above the
scooter can only be moved at a walking pace when in freewheel mode.
Reverse Forward
11
Caution:
Do not switch o the power to stop the scooter as this will cause the transmission to lock
and the scooter will come to a sharp stop, which could possibly cause injury. This
procedure should only be used in an emergency.
Steering
Steering the scooter is light and easy. Ensure when starting o 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
apply power gently. The scooter will turn very tightly, but will still move with complete stability.
Caution:
Never turn sharply at high speeds as it can make the scooter unstable. The maximum
speed should be set at 50%.
Caution:
Do not reverse onto a main thoroughfare.
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 the left nger lever, and steer wide of all corners
and obstacles.
Dismounting
Before dismounting ensure that the key is turned to the o position.
Caution:
Please ensure that care is exercised when entering or leaving the scooter and that the tiller
is not used for support.
Ramps / Slopes
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 a 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 stop.
12
Surfaces
Your scooter will perform well over many surfaces. However, avoid long grass, loose gravel, sand,
mud and ice.
Transferring
Lift up the arm-pad from the side you wish to leave or sit on the scooter. Use an aid for balance if
required. DO NOT use the tiller or armrests to support the full weight during transfers.
Caution:
Do not turn o the control key whilst the unit is in motion.
The scooters are designed to be dismantled into separate sections for transportation and storage.
The heaviest part of the scooter weighs 36kg (80lb).
Your scooter can be dismantled into the following sections;
Dismantling for Transportation & Storage

Your scooter should be stored in a dry environment, preferably a garage or shed. Tarpaulins and
covers may create condensation during certain weather conditions. If your scooter is to be stored for
prolonged periods, fully charge the batteries and disconnect the battery plugs.
Please ensure your scooter is protected from heavy rain or high humidity and is stored in a dry
environment. Direct exposure to rain or dampness could cause the scooter’s electrics to malfunction.
Very cold weather can severely deplete battery condition (up to 40%). If left for any period during cold
weather it is very important that the scooter is fully charged before use.
Storage
At six monthly interval you should lubricate the following parts with a light oil or a similar lubricant;
Maintenance
• Seat pivot post.
• Seat release lever pinion.
• Wheel bearings
• Axle of scooter
Wheels and Tyres
The wheels of your scooter all have split rims. This allows any punctures to be repaired easily.
To change the wheels remove the centre bolt and slide the wheel o its axle. Ensure that when ret-
ting the wheel the retaining bolt is tted with a locking washer or the screw threads are treated with
lock-tite or a similar adhesive.
When changing a tyre the inner tube must be deated. Remove the four bolts from the wheel and split
the rim. Tyre pressure is recommended to be kept at 30 psi on the rear tyres, and 25 psi on the front.
The transaxle/gear box are sealed units and do not need lubricating. In the event of any diculties
please consult your dealer.
Product Life Expectancy
Your scooter has been designed to provide the user with a long, reliable life provided it is correctly
maintained and regularly serviced by an authorised dealer. However, due to inevitable wear and tear
and technological improvements it is recommended that the average usable life of this scooter is
ve years.
General Cleaning
The shrouds and seat of the scooter should be cleaned using a damp cloth and gentle detergent. Do
not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as this will damage the plastic components. Do not spray water
(hose or pressure washer) onto the scooter as this may cause damage to the electronics.
We suggest that your scooter should undergo a full service at least once a year by an authorised
Shoprider dealer.

The Shoprider Cadiz Scooter is supplied with 2 maintenance free, 34 A/h sealed lead acid batter-
ies. Battery performance can be aected by temperature, terrain and the weight of the user etc. The
battery level indicator is only a guide and is most eective when the scooter is moving, only then is the
true discharge level displayed.
When the scooter stops the battery level indicator may indicate full. ,An active user can use up to 30%
of battery capacity or more per day. Inactive users may only use 50% of battery capacity in a week. In
both these instances the battery should be put on charge over night.
Batteries and Battery Chargers
Note:
Batteries recommended by Shoprider MUST be used if they need to be replaced. An
authorised Shoprider dealer must carry out battery replacement.
Battery Charger
Batteries supplied with your scooter are specially designed and require an automatic battery charger.
These chargers have an electronic switch that will terminate the charge when the batteries are fully
charged.
The battery charger is a 3-amp o board. The charger is able to read the level of charge in the
batteries and will switch o when the batteries are fully charged. To charge the batteries connect the
plug lead into the battery-charging socket on the scooter and the 3-pin plug into the wall socket and
switch on.
The battery charger has two lights. The red light when constant shows the battery charger is

emergency handbrake if required. These procedures will stop the scooter and activate the braking
system, preventing any further uncontrolled manoeuvres.
Product Stability
Scooters and powered wheelchairs are designed to allow the user exibility of movement in restricted
areas. Driving at maximum speed and attempting sharp turns can create a situation where the
product becomes unstable. Therefore it is essential that the user pay attention to the guidance set out
in this manual.
• Maximum speed setting
• Seat height
• User movement
• User’s manoeuvres
• Gradients or slopes
The main factors aecting stability are:
Warning:
Please keep your speed to a level where you can safely stop without having to make any
erratic turns.
Do not load bags etc. on the back of the seat as this will aect the centre of gravity and
could cause instability.
Do not lean outside of the ‘footprint’ of the product, especially whilst moving.
Avoid making turns on gradients or slopes.
Driving in Pedestrian Areas
As mentioned previously, when using the scooter in pedestrian areas always lower your maximum
speed to that of the pedestrians around you. Remember the stopping distance of your scooter and
always allow enough space to stop safely to avoid collisions with pedestrians or other objects.
Note:
Switching the power o at the key / switch can cause the scooter to stop abruptly and
should only be used to stop the scooter during an emergency as this can damage the
drive unit.
