Adjustments

Tiller Angle Adjustment

On the left hand side at the base of the tiller is a black round hand knob. Pull the lever out to release

the pin and select the required tiller angle. Ret the pin into one of the ve location holes.

Seat Swivel Adjustment

Under the right side of the seat there is a spring loaded red lever. Pulling up on the lever allows the

seat to swivel, when released the seat will lock into one of 4 positions.

Seat Slider Adjustment

Pulling up on the lever allows the seat position to be adjusted forward or backward. Release the lever

and the seat will lock in that position.

Seat Height Adjustment

The seat height can be adjusted by inserting the steel locking pin into the required hole.

Caution:

The higher the seat is adjusted; stability may be aected due to the higher centre

of gravity.

Backrest Angle Adjustment

Pull up on the release lever spring and set the angle required by holding the backrest in that position

and then release the lever. The backrest will stay in the position selected. The backrest can be

lowered onto the seat for storage or transport. Restrain the backrest from going forward when the

lever is released.

Battery Level Indicator (1)

The number of LED bars lit shows the amount of charge left in your batteries. The amount of charge

will only show at its true level when the scooter is in drive.

Horn (2)

A yellow button at the rear of the tiller operates the horn.

Maximum Speed Knob (3)

The speed control allows you to set a speed between 1 (minimum) and 10 (maximum).

Note:

This should only be used to warn others of your presence and not as a rebuke of any form.

Note:

Always start at a slow speed until accustomed with the characteristics of your scooter. Do

not put excessive pressure on the dial. Only turn as far as the stops.

When driving in pedestrian areas such as shopping precincts and busy pavement areas

always respect other pedestrians and turn the maximum speed down so that the scooter

travels at the walking pace of others around you.

Tiller Controls

Note:

Always fully charge the batteries before driving your scooter and never let the

batteries become completely drained, as this may cause permanent damage to

the batteries.

Controls speed setting from High to Low. Low setting should be used on pavements and High setting

when being used on roads.

Indicator Switch (7)

Operates indicators left or right.

Hazard Warning Switch (8)

Operates all indicator ashers.

Electromagnetic Brake

The brake is automatically operated when the control levers are released. There is a slight delay when

the scooter decelerates, this allows the scooter to come to a smooth stop.

Caution:

Never leave the scooter unattended whilst in free wheel mode as it will roll away down an

incline. ‘Free wheel’ mode should only be used in an emergency to move the scooter due

to power failure. Never move the scooter in this mode whilst it is occupied. NEVER tow the

scooter.

Note:

When in free wheel mode the scooter may be pushed on level ground at a walking pace.

The scooter will ‘auto-brake’ if this speed is exceeded.

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

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.

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

• Rear chassis cover.

• 2 x 34 A/h batteries (weight approx. 12kg each).

• Rear drive unit assembly.

• Front chassis assembly.

• Seat.

Dismantling

Pull up on the red lever under the seat and at the same time lift and twist the seat o. (see page 6)

Remove the hand-knob and clip that secures the seat adaptor. Lift the seat adaptor out of the

seat post.

Fold down the back of the seat. (see page 7)

Remove the rear chassis cover.

Disconnect the battery plugs and the orange multi-plug by depressing the small lip on the plugs.

Remove the Velcro retaining straps and lift out the batteries.

Remove the locking pin and separate the rear drive unit.

Lower the tiller to its lowest level on the front chassis. (see page 6)

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 ret-

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 deated. 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 diculties

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.

• Tyres are in good condition.

• Front wheels spin freely.

• Moving parts, pivots and frame xing are not damaged or worn.

• All hand knobs and levers are secure.

Check list

Please check the following;

Batteries

Charge the batteries completely (8-12 hours) prior to rst use.

The Shoprider Cadiz Scooter is supplied with 2 maintenance free, 34 A/h sealed lead acid batter-

ies. Battery performance can be aected by temperature, terrain and the weight of the user etc. The

battery level indicator is only a guide and is most eective 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

connected, if the red light ashes there is a break in the connection. The green light ashes when the

batteries are receiving charge. The green light is constant when the charge is complete.

Caution:

Do not charge the batteries for longer than 12 hours. Always charge the batteries in a

well-ventilated indoor area.

You must still maintain charging the batteries even if the scooter is not to be used for

a prolonged period of time (2 to 3 weeks). Failure to do so could result in permanent

damage and render the batteries unusable.

Wherever possible do not interrupt the charge cycle until the batteries are fully charged.

Continual interruption can permanently damage the batteries. If the charging lead should

get damaged discontinue use immediately and seek a replacement from your dealer.

Only use the charger supplied with your scooter. Do not leave the charger plugged into to

the charger port after the charge is complete. Always remove the keys from the scooter

when charging.

Disposing and recycling of used battery

Batteries must always be recycled correctly. Do not dispose of them with your

domestic refuge.

For further information regarding your nearest recycling facility please contact your

local authority.

Troubleshooting

Fuses

In-line 50amp spade fuses from the batteries protect any overload.

• The unit is switched on.

• All plugs and connections are rmly xed.

• Battery level shows full charge.

• Freewheeling device is in the drive position.

• Circuit breaker has not tripped.

Check list

If your scooter fails to operate, please check the following:

Circuit Breaker

Your scooter is tted with the latest in electronic controls that are programmed to protect the

electrical system from abnormal overloads. Fitted for extra protection is a circuit breaker, should there

be a situation that your scooter stops for no apparent reason please check that the circuit breaker has

not popped out. The circuit breaker can be found under the rear chassis cover accessible through a

port hole under the seat.

If the freewheel device has been operated with the scooter switched on, the scooter will not operate

until the key switch has been turned o and on again.

Should a fault occur, the fault will be identied by a beeping sequence which relates to the fault in the

table below.

Further information

Safety Information Regarding Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

Scooters and Powerchairs are designed to operate under certain conditions.

However, radio waves or electromagnetic elds may aect the operation of the Scooter.

The source of EMI could be radio or television transmitters or portable devices such as

mobile phones, portable CB radios etc. Should any unintentional movement occur turn the

scooter o as soon as safely possible.

Solar Energy

During periods of sunny weather, it is possible that surfaces of your scooter may reach high

temperatures (as with motor vehicles). Please take precautions if leaving the scooter in direct sunlight

for any period of time. Seek shade or cover the seat and hand controls to keep any temperature

increases to a minimum.

Health Factors

Suitability for this product has been assessed on the user’s current state of health. It is essential that

the user regularly monitor their ability to use the scooter safely.

General Use

Take heed of the information given in this manual regarding safety and the maintenance of your scoot-

er. If adhered to, your scooter should give you years of reliable mobility.

Storage and General Care

We recommend that the scooter is always stored in a dry environment such as a garage or shed to

protect the chassis and other components from corrosion. Do not leave the scooter outside during

rainstorms. If the scooter is wet, wipe with a dry cloth to ensure there is no ingress of water into the

internal components of the scooter.

During everyday use, do not use in rain showers or travel through puddles. Avoid use in areas where

the scooter could become contaminated with sand or abrasive materials.

Note:

Should your scooter fail to operate after checking these possible problems, consult your

local Shoprider dealer immediately.

If the scooter is switched on and not operated for a period of time (approx 10 minutes) it

may enter ‘sleep’ mode. This is indicated by the spanner ashing on / o continuously.

Simply switch the scooter o and on to reset the controller.

Emergency Procedures

Should your scooter behave erratically or become unresponsive whilst driving, release the wig-wag

lever so it may return to it’s neutral position and switch o the power at the key / switch. Use the

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 aecting 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 aect 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.
