GENERAL WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding
prong from any plug. Some devices are equipped with three-prong
(grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a
two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician and have
the two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three-prong
wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code. If you
must use an extension cord, use ONLY a three-wire extension cord hav-
ing the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected.
BATTERIES
The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual
are based on the use of deep cycle gel cell or sealed lead acid batteries.
Invacare strongly recommends their use as the power source for this unit.
Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servic-
ing or operating your wheelchair.

EMI WARNINGS
CAUTION: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS
INFORMATION REGARDING THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED
SCOOTER.
Electromagnetic Interference EMI From Radio Wave sources.
Part No. 1090132 Rev F

PROCEDURE 1
GENERAL GUIDELINES
EMI WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
Powered scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI),
which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such
as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two way
radios, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can
cause the powered scooter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in
unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the powered
scooter's control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be
measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each powered scooter can resist EMI up
to a certain intensity. This is called its "immunity level." The higher the
immunity level, the greater the protection. At this time, current technology
is capable of achieving at least a 20 V/m immunity level, which would provide
useful protection from the more common sources of radiated EMI.
There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in
the everyday environment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to
avoid. Others are not apparent and exposure is unavoidable. However, we
believe that by following the warnings listed, your risk to EMI will be mini-
mized.
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1) Hand-held Portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers with the
antenna mounted directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include:
citizens band (CB) radios, "walkie talkie," security, fire, and police trans-
ceivers, cellular telephones, and other personal communication devices.
**NOTE: Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals
while they are ON, even when not being used;
2) Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars,
fire trucks, ambulances, and taxis. These usually have the antenna
mounted on the outside of the vehicle; and
3) Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial
broadcast transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and
amateur (HAM) radios.
NOTE: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM
radios, TV sets, CD players, cassette players, and small appliances, such as electric shavers and
hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause EMI problems to your powered scooter.
Powered Scooter Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to
the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave
sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally
bring high levels of EM energy very close to the powered scooter's control
system while using these devices. This can affect powered scooter move-
ment and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed are recommended to
prevent possible interference with the control system of the powered
scooter.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
EMI WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
PROCEDURE 1
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV
stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular
phones can affect powered scooters. Following the warnings listed should
reduce the chance of unintended brake release or powered scooter move-
ment which could result in serious injury.
1) Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters receivers), such
as citizens band (CB radios, or turn ON personal communication devices,
such as cellular phones, while the powered scooter is turned ON;
2) Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and
try to avoid coming close to them;
3) If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered
scooter OFF as soon as it is safe;
4) Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the
powered scooter, may make it more susceptible to EMI (Note: There is
no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the pow-
ered scooter); and
5) Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the
powered scooter manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of
EMI nearby.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1) 20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immu-
nity level against EMI (as of May 1994) (the higher the level, the greater
the protection);
2) The immunity level of this product is unknown.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
SAFETY/HANDLING
“Safety and Handling” of the powered scooter requires the close attention of the user.
This manual points out the most common procedures and techniques involved in the
safe operation and maintenance. It is important to practice and master these safe tech-
niques until you are comfortable in maneuvering the powered scooter.
Use this information only as a “basic” guide. The techniques that are discussed have
been used successfully by many.
Individual users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities that may differ from
those described in this manual. Invacare recognizes and encourages each individual to
try what works best for him/her in overcoming obstacles that they may encounter,
however, ALL WARNINGS and CAUTIONS given in this manual MUST be followed.
Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new powered scooter user with
“safety” as the most important
consideration for all.
STABILITY AND BALANCE
WARNING
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap.
To assure stability and proper operation of your powered scooter, you must at all times
maintain proper balance. Your powered scooter has been designed to remain upright
and stable during normal daily activities.
PERCENTAGE OF WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the
seat or pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your
knees.
Many activities require the powered scooter owner to reach, bend and transfer in and
out of the powered scooter. These movements cause a change to the normal balance,
the center of gravity, and the weight distribution of the powered scooter. To determine
and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring
activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional
BEFORE attempting active use of the powered scooter.
Proper positioning is essential for your safety.

WARNING
DO NOT attempt to move an occupied powered scooter between floors
using a stairway. Use an elevator to move an occupied powered scooter
between floors.
If moving a powered scooter between floors by means of a stairway, the
occupant MUST be removed and transported independently of the
powered scooter. Extreme caution is advised when it is necessary to
move an UNOCCUPIED powered scooter up or down the stairs. Invacare
recommends disassembling the scooter and transporting the six (6)
components independently up or down the stairs. Make sure to use
ONLY secure, non-detachable parts on each component for hand-hold
supports.
DO NOT attempt to lift a powered scooter by any removable (detach-
able) parts. Lifting by means of removable (detachable) parts may result
in injury to the user or assistants or damage to the powered scooter.
ESCALATORS? SORRY!
DO NOT use an escalator to move a powered scooter between floors.
Serious bodily injury may occur.
Follow this procedure for moving the powered scooter between floors when an eleva-
tor is NOT available:
WARNING
Powered scooter weight without the batteries can weigh between 90 to
200 lbs. (depending on the model). Use proper lifting techniques (lift with
your legs) to avoid injury.
1. Remove the occupant from the powered scooter.
2. Disassemble the scooter. Refer to TRANSPORTING in PROCEDURE 10 of this
manual.
3. Carefully move the powered scooter components up or down the stairway.

PROCEDURE 3
OPERATION
OPERATION OF THE SCOOTER (FIGURES 1-5)
WARNING
Before attempting to sit in the powered scooter, REMOVE the key from
the ignition. This will ensure that the POWER is OFF and the scooter will
not drive.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending,
reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the pres-
ence of a qualified healthcare professional BEFORE attempting active use
of the powered scooter.
Ensure seat is properly locked before attempting transfer into or out of
the powered scooter. Attempting unsafe transfers may cause a fall from
the powered scooter resulting in bodily injury.
For individuals with balance problems, practice transferring activities
WITH AN ASSISTANT in the presence of a qualified healthcare
professional. DO NOT attempt to transfer into or out of the powered
scooter without assistance.
1. Before operation of the powered scooter, review the CONTROL PANEL FEATURES
section in this procedure of the manual.
2. Install and charge batteries. Refer to REPLACING BATTERIES and CHARGING
THE BATTERIES in PROCEDURE 4 in this manual.
3. Transferring to and from the seat can be accomplished in one (1) of two (2) ways:
A. Flipping up the armrest makes entering/exiting easier.
B. For all models except ZOOM-3, the seat can be rotated in either direction.
Refer to 90º SEAT SWIVEL ADJUSTMENT in PROCEDURE 5 in this manual.
4. Once the seat is locked in the forward-facing position and both armrests are in the
DOWN position, adjust the tiller to a comfortable angle. Refer to TILLER ANGLE
ADJUSTMENT in PROCEDURE 8 in this manual.
5. Adjust speed control knob to the appropriate setting. For PANTHER MX-4 also
select low/ high speed.
NOTE: For driving indoors or on uneven terrain, a slower speed (and the selection of low speed
for PANTHER MX-4 is recommended. For soft terrain or steep inclines (no greater than 8º), a
faster speed may be necessary.
6. Insert the key into the ignition.
WARNING
Always depress the throttle control lever gradually. This will ensure
smooth safe starts.
NOTE: Throttle control levers are teetered such that moving one (1) will also move the opposite
side throttle control lever.

OPERATION
PROCEDURE 3
7. To operate the scooter, depress the throttle control lever in the following manner:
A. STANDARD TILLERS:
To move FORWARD - Push the RIGHT-SIDE of the throttle control lever.
To move in REVERSE- Push the LEFT-SIDE of the throttle control lever.
To STOP - Release the throttle control lever and the powered scooter will
quickly slow down and the brake will engage. PANTHER MX-4 - Use the hand
brake lever when needing
accelerated stops. See USING THE HAND BRAKE LEVER/BRAKE/BRAKE ARM
in this procedure of the manual.
B. DELTA TILLERS:
To move FORWARD - Pull the RIGHT-SIDE throttle control lever rearward
(toward user), or Push the LEFT-SIDE throttle control lever forward (away from user).
To move in REVERSE - Pull the LEFT-SIDE throttle control lever rearward (toward
user), or Push the RIGHT-SIDE throttle control lever forward away from user).
To STOP - Release the throttle control lever and the powered scooter will
quickly slow down and the brake will engage.
NOTE: To equip the scooter for left hand operation, contact a qualified technician.
The powered scooter is equipped with a "proportional" control meaning that the farther
you depress the throttle control lever, the faster the powered scooter will travel. With a
proportional control, you can drive as slowly in the high speed setting as you can in the
low speed setting. Your top speed, however, is limited by the setting of the speed-control
knob. For safety reasons, reverse speed is limited to approximately 50% of forward speed.
When first learning to drive, select a SLOW speed and try to drive the powered scooter AS
SLOWLY as possible by depressing the throttle control lever only slightly. This exercise will help you
learn to utilize the full potential of the proportional control and allow you to start and stop smoothly.
USING THE HAND BRAKE LEVER/BRAKE ARM (FIGURE 6)
NOTE: The hand brake lever and brake arm are only on the PANTHER MX-4 (Without Delta
Tiller).
CAUTION
ALWAYS release throttle control lever BEFORE using the hand brake. Using
the hand brake in conjunction with the throttle control lever will cause exces-
sive wear on the brake and the stopping distance of the scooter will increase.
HAND BRAKE LEVER
1. Squeeze the hand brake lever when needing accelerated stops.
BRAKE ARM
1. The brake arm can only be used to stop the scooter when the brake-release lever is
manually disengaged. Refer to BRAKE-RELEASE LEVER in this procedure of the manual.

PROCEDURE 4
BATTERIES/CHARGING
NOTE: Upon completion, these areas should be shiny, not dull.
3. Carefully dust off all metal particles.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
WARNING
Never attempt to recharge the batteries by attaching cables directly to
the battery terminals or clamps.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries and operate the powered
scooter at the same time.
CAUTION
New batteries MUST be fully charged prior to initial use of the powered
scooter.
Always charge new batteries before initial use or battery life will be re-
duced.
As a general rule, you should recharge your batteries as frequently as pos-
sible to assure the longest possible life and to minimize required charging
time. Plan to recharge them when you do not anticipate using the powered
scooter.
The range per battery charge using recommended batteries should be approximately 5 to 9
hours of typical operation. Extensive use on inclines may substantially reduce per charge mileage.
WARNING
NEVER leave the charger unattended when the circuit breaker (charger)
is tripping ON and OFF.
NOTE: If performing charging procedures independently, READ and CAREFULLY follow the
individual instructions for each charger (supplied or purchased).
NOTE: If charging instructions are not supplied, consult a qualified service technician for proper
procedures.
