CHAPTER 1 - OVERVIEW OF THE SE Scooter Main features: Congratulations on choosing the SE Scooter as your electrically powered vehicle. The SE Scooter is easy to operate. The relatively large wheels enable driving on unpaved roads, over rough terrain and to overcome obstacles as high as 4” (10 cm). The SE Scooter can climb slopes up to 21% - Single, 18% - Double. The braking system stops the SE Scooter smoothly and a short distance after the Operating Lever is released.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Please note and strictly adhere to the following Safety Instructions. Additional Warnings and Notices are printed in this User’s Manual; it is imperative that you read carefully all chapters of this Manual before operating the SE Scooter. It is also advisable to refresh your memory by re-reading this Manual periodically. Use gel/dry batteries only. 2. Get acquainted with the SE Scooter and its operational features before driving it. 3.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SE Scooter Note: 1. The numbers in parentheses refer to the parts illustrated on Figure 1. Handlebars (2) There are two separate and independently adjustable handlebars, one of which houses the controls for the SE Scooter. Your SE Scooter is delivered to you with right-hand controls. (Left-hands controls can be ordered through your dealer). NOTE : On the Double Seat model the left handlebar is shorter to allow for easier steering by the driver with 2 people on board.

CHAPTER 2 - ADJUSTMENT & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Reference numbers refer to the figures at the bottom of each page) Adjusting the Handlebars Adjust angles and height of both handlebars as follows: Release the Handlebars Clamp (1), which secures the handlebars in place, by turning the cam Lever outward from the vehicle. Adjust the height and angle of your handlebars, by turning, while raising or lowering the handlebars.
Key Switch The SE Scooter has a Main Key Switch (9) - located on the right side of the Headlight Housing. The Main Key Switch has two positions: “OFF” - The SE Scooter cannot be driven and the Electromagnetic Brake is locked. “ON” - Power is supplied to the SE Scooter. The Electromagnetic Brake releases automatically when the Operating Lever is squeezed. To operate the SE Scooter, insert the key into the Main Key Switch and turn it to “ON” (clockwise).
Automatic Shut Off When Key Switch is at “ON” position, after a few minutes (about 20 minutes) without using the Operating Lever, the control system will be shut off automatically to save battery energy. In such cases, to restart control system, turn Main Key Switch “OFF” and “ON” again. Battery Status Indicator The Battery Status Indicator (1) located on top of the Headlight Housing shows you the remaining capacity of the batteries.
Speed Range Selector The Speed Range Selector (16) is located on the left side of the Headlight Housing. It has two positions: Mark “1” (lower position): Low speed - up to 6 km/h (3.1 mph). Mark “2” (upper position): High speed - 10 km/h (6.2 mph). Do not shift the selector while the SE Scooter is in motion. Note: When driving the SE Scooter inside a building or in a crowded area, use only position 1 (Low speed).
Horn/Buzzer (in certain models only) Push Button (20) activates a buzzer. The buzzer sounds automatically under the following conditions (subject to change where prohibited by law): 1. When reversing. 2. When operating the “Turn Signal Switch” (Right or Left). 3. When the “Emergency Electromagnetic Brake Lever ” is operated. Headlight Switch Turn on the Headlight (24) with Light Switch (23). This switch activates both the Headlight and the Rear Lights (28).
Parking After stopping, turn the Main Key Switch to OFF and remove the key. The lights will turn OFF. The Electromagnetic Brake is engaged (locked). Notes: The Electromagnetic Brake is automatically locked whenever the Operating Lever is released and after the SE Scooter stops completely.
CHAPTER 3 - MAINTENANCE Note: The numbers in parentheses refer to the parts illustrated in figure 2. Although the SE Scooter requires minimal maintenance, do not neglect it. When servicing the SE Scooter, make sure that it stands on a level surface and that the key is not inserted. In addition, lock the Hand Brake. Periodic Maintenance Check No. Type of Service Frequency 1 Check water level in the batteries. Add water as needed.
Single Seat Model Double Seat Model Figure 2.
Removing the Gray Cover (33) (Double Seat Model) Release the lock lever (37) under the Seat and tilt Seat (36) back about 70 degrees until it is almost standing on the rear part of the frame. Remove the Gray Cover (33) as described above (for Single Seat Model). Replacing the Gray Cover (33) (Double Seat Model) Replacement of the Gray Cover is done in reverse order. Tilt Seat back and mount on Seat Shaft. Batteries Every two months, check the water level in both batteries.
CHAPTER 4 - CHARGING Read Charger’s manual before using the charger.. Warning: If you use a different charger, ask your dealer for instructions. CHARGING BATTERIES (See figure 3) 1.

CHAPTER 5 - TROUBLESHOOTING AND FAULT REPAIR The following table provides troubleshooting and repair instructions for symptoms encountered when operating the SE Scooter. It presents the best ways to handle the faults. The table contains three columns: The Symptom - describes the functional problem that results from the fault. Probable Cause - lists all probable causes for the relevant symptom. The probable causes are listed logically by order of probability: the first one is the most probable.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND FAULT REPAIR (Cont.) No. Symptom 6 SE Scooter does not move when squeezing the Operating Lever . Probable Causes Main Key Switch is in OFF position. Turn the key to “ON” position. Charging Plug is installed in Charging Socket. Disconnect the Charging Plug from the SE Scooter . The Mechanical Release Lever of the Electromagnetic Brake is pushed Forward. Control system failure. 7 8 9 Intermittent drive. RIGHT or LEFT turn signal light is inoperative.
CHAPTER 6 - EMI WARNING All types of electrically powered vehicles, such as powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters (in this text all types will be referred to as “powered vehicles”) may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). This is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios and cellular phones.
Powered Vehicle Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting antenna, the EM field from hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy close to the powered vehicle’s control system while using these devices. This can affect powered vehicle movement and braking.
