PERSONAL SAFETY
Note : Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM
radios, TV sets, CD players, and cassette players, and small appliances, such as electric
shavers and hairdryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause EMI problems to your
powered wheelchair/scooter.
Following the guidelines set out below should reduce the chances of unintended brake release
or powered wheelchair/scooter movement, which could result in serious harm or injury.
1. Do not operate hand-held transceivers, such as citizens band (CB) radios, or turn ON
personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the powered
wheelchair/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 wheelchair/scooter
OFF as soon as it is safe to do so.
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered
wheelchair/scooter, may make it more susceptible to EMI.
5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the powered
wheelchair/scooter manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.
ASSEMBLING THE APOLLO
1) Ensure the scooter is switched off and the freewheel lever is engaged.
2) Loosen the tiller adjustment handle. Adjust the tiller so that it is in a comfortable
operating position and tighten the tiller adjustment handle to secure. Install shopping
basket if required.
3) Insert the power pack if required. Do this by rolling the wheels of the power pack in to
the back of the cavity in the shroud. Then slowly lower the front end of the power pack in
to the cavity in the shroud. You will hear a click when the power pack is locked in
position. Ensure that you do not get your fingers caught in the handle area whilst
performing this operation (see photograph 2 in Parts Description).
4) Insert the seat. See the next section on “Seat Removal and Installation” for details on how
to do this.
DISASSEMBLING THE APOLLO
1) Ensure the scooter is switched off and the freewheel lever is engaged.
2) Remove the seat as described in the next section “Seat Removal and Installation”
3) Remove the shopping basket. Loosen the tiller adjustment handle and fold down the tiller.
Retighten the tiller adjustment handle.
4) To manually pull the scooter use the carry handle ensuring the scooter runs on the rear
anti-tip wheels.
