User guide P9-0135-B 13 of 52 Version 1.0.
Medema Production A/S Driving the Mini Crosser M-MaxX Getting in and out It is important to learn a safe technique for getting in and out of the Mini Crosser. In general the following method should be followed: • • • • • Make sure that the Mini Crosser M-MaxX is off (switch turned to 0) when getting in and out, otherwise the Mini Crosser could start if the accelerator was touched inadvertently. Make sure that the brake is on. (Lever for disengaging motor in top position.
Medema Production A/S Braking systems There are three braking systems on the Mini Crosser: • Motor brake - adjusts vehicle speed also when going downhill. • Magnetic brake - the magnetic brake is automatic and engages when the Mini Crosser stops. In an emergency, the Mini Crosser can be stopped instantaneously by turning the key switch. Please note that this will cause very sharp braking. The rear wheels will lock. Must NOT be used in the normal course of driving.
Medema Production A/S Never drive when under the influence. This applies not only to alcohol, but also to drugs and medicines. Reduce speed immediately if you feel you are losing control. Always use the indicators when changing direction. Check that lights and indicators are working before driving off. Use your lights when driving after lighting-up time. As far as possible, grip the handlebars firmly with both hands.
Medema Production A/S New users are urged to practise the following in an area where there is no other traffic: • Set the Mini Crosser to low speed. Drive forwards and backwards. Gradually turn the speed selector up and feel the change in the speed of the Mini Crosser. • Practise starting and braking. Get used to the Mini Crosser’s response time. • Practise driving in a narrow space, similar to inside a shop or through a door. • Practise turning, and get a sense of how much space is required.
Medema Production A/S Traffic regulations The traffic legislation for scooters varies from country to country. Before starting to use the vehicle outdoors, it is the user’s responsibility to familiarise him/herself with the relevant legislation. The following rules apply in Denmark: Mobility vehicles such as the Mini Crosser with a maximum speed of up to 11.5 km/h count as cycles in traffic legislation and the traffic regulations for cycles must be followed at speeds in excess of 6 km/h.
Medema Production A/S Electromagnetic compatibility If the Mini Crosser starts making involuntary movements or if the brakes are released, turn the Mini Crosser off as soon as it is safe to do so. In certain circumstances a Mini Crosser can set off shop alarms. The Mini Crosser satisfies the requirements for the use of scooters in an environment with electromagnetic noise. There may, however, be rare situations in which electromagnetic noise can affect the Mini Crosser.
Medema Production A/S Specific driving situations Up kerbs • • • • Stop at right angles to the kerbstone about 5-10 cm away from it. Keep an eye on other road users. Lean forwards. Accelerate moderately so that your vehicle can overcome the obstacle. Do not stop halfway, but reduce speed once the vehicle is up. If the kerb is too high, do not try again, but find an alternative route. Down kerbs • • • User guide P9-0135-B Lean back.
Medema Production A/S Up a ramp/hill • • • • There is a risk of tipping over backwards if the seat is pushed back when you start driving up a slope, e.g. a ramp. Pull the seat forward! Check that any ramp is stable. Lean forwards. Accelerate moderately so that your vehicle can overcome the obstacle. Do not stop halfway. Reduce speed once the vehicle is up. If you need to start on a hill, accelerate slowly so as not to tip over backwards.
Medema Production A/S Across a slope • • • Lean into the slope. Avoid sudden and sharp movements. This is particularly relevant when reversing. Always drive at low speed. Long hills/difficult ground The Mini Crosser is at risk of overheating on very long and steep hills or on very soft ground, possibly also combined with high user weight. To protect your Mini Crosser’s motor from overheating, there is a built-in Thermo switch that will make the Mini Crosser stop if the motors become too hot.
Medema Production A/S Anti-tilt wheels / stabilisers The Mini Crosser is a very stable vehicle. HOWEVER, in the case of incorrect weight distribution or careless driving there is a risk of tipping over. We therefore recommend fitting anti-tilt wheels in such circumstances. (See picture below) (Anti-tilt wheels / stabilisers are optional extras.) Anti-tilt wheels User guide P9-0135-B 23 of 52 Version 1.0.
Medema Production A/S General care and maintenance A Mini Crosser M-MaxX does not require much maintenance. It should be kept in a generally good condition, however. The following should be checked regularly: • • • • Tyre pressure (if pneumatic tyres are fitted) Tyre wear Keep the control panel, the charging socket and the electronics box under the seat dry. Battery charging Never wash the Mini Crosser with a high-pressure cleaner or direct water jet! This could damage the Mini Crosser’s electronics.
Medema Production A/S Annual The Mini Crosser M-MaxX is designed for safe travel for at least 10 years, up to a max. of 5,000 hours, provided it is serviced and safety-checked every year, corresponding to 500 hours of operation. The service must be carried out by an authorised workshop.
Medema Production A/S Batteries The Mini Crosser uses sealed, maintenance-free GEL batteries (Exide 12 V/56 Ah or AGM 12 V/71 Ah). They do not generate gas and do not have to be topped up with water. Charging Please NOTE that the Mini Crosser can be equipped with several types of charger (ask your dealer for information on the various types). IMPORTANT! Only ever use a charger designed for charging dry maintenance-free batteries. The max. charging current is 12 A.
Medema Production A/S Avoid draining the batteries completely. We recommend charging the batteries in a heated room. If it is not possible to do this every day, it is a good idea to charge the Mini Crosser in a heated room (approx. 20°C) once a week. New batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been charged and discharged about 20 times. It is IMPORTANT to fit the batteries correctly. The battery terminals and snap locks are marked +/-. They must be fitted as shown in the sketch below.
Medema Production A/S Battery disposal Used batteries must be disposed of through your supplier or at a recycling centre. Take care when handling leaky batteries, as the gel contains corrosive acid. INFO! New batteries can be purchased from Medema Danmark A/S. Storage The scooter should be stored and charged under cover, preferably at temperatures above 0°C. Note! The charger must be kept dry, but should not be covered when in use.
Medema Production A/S Changing the wheels If you get a puncture in one of the pneumatic tyres or if a tyre is so badly worn that it needs to be replaced, follow the instructions below. Tyres and inner tubes can be purchased from the authorised dealer who supplied the Mini Crosser. The Mini Crosser must be TURNED OFF before you start. Changing the wheels on the 4W model 5 mm Allen key • • • Undo the five bolts. Take the wheel off.
Medema Production A/S Remove the flange with the 5 screws (5mm Allen). Replace or patch the tube. Ensure that there are no foreign objects in the tyre before the tube is replaced. Pump in a little air but do not fill it up yet. Replace the flange. Pump up the wheel to the correct pressure. (See technical data) Fit the wheel onto the Mini Crosser again. REMEMBER! The spring washers between the screws and the wheel rim. User guide P9-0135-B 30 of 52 Version 1.0.
Medema Production A/S Fuses The Mini Crosser has the following protection systems: • Automatic overload protection, which limits the current to the motor. This protection is integral to the control system and cannot be adjusted. It prevents both the control system and the motor from being overloaded. In the event of overload the current to the motor is reduced - full speed and traction can be resumed after the motor has cooled down for 2-5 minutes. • The control fuse protects against mains faults.
Medema Production A/S Brakes There are three braking systems on the Mini Crosser M: • • Motor brake Magnetic brake • Motor brake: adjusts vehicle speed also when going downhill. • Magnetic brake: automatic and comes on when accelerator is released. It also acts as a parking brake when the Mini Crosser is at a standstill. In an emergency, the Mini Crosser can be stopped instantaneously by turning the key switch. Please note that this will cause very sharp braking.
Medema Production A/S Disengagement lever pushed up Electrical release • Hold the disengagement button pressed in to disengage (can be pushed or towed with max 5 km/h – see section about Towing). As soon as you let go of the disengagement button, the motor brake is working again (normal driving now possible). Disengagement button NOTE! The motor brake must never be disengaged on sloping terrain. Towing If you should be unfortunate enough to break down, the Mini Crosser can be towed or pushed.
Medema Production A/S Transporting by motor vehicle The Mini Crosser must always be restrained during transport in a motor vehicle or trailer. Avoid lifting by the seat, covers, handlebars and armrests If you just need to lift the scooter slightly, take hold of it between the rear lights and by the front bumper. Secure it in the vehicle with belts attached to the two eyes at the front and two at the back. All the eyes are marked in yellow. See the section entitled “Securing to vehicle floor with belts”.
