V. OPERATING YOUR Titan
1. TURN POWER
ON
Insert the key into the key switch on the upper tiller and turn on the power.
2. FORWARD MOTION
To move forward, pull the right side of the throttle lever under the control console toward you. The further you pull, the faster the scooter will go. The maximum speed may be selected by the speed selection switch located on the top of the control console.
3. REVERSE
MOTION
To reverse, pull the left side of the throttle lever under the control console toward you. Reverse speed is limited to 4.8 km/h.
4. STOP
To stop the scooter, just release the throttle lever. The Titan will quietly come to a smooth stop and electromechanical brake will automatically engage to hold the scooter in position on horizontal surface or an incline of up to 15 degrees, with a load of no more than 300 lb. (140 kg). Quick smooth stops are made possible by the dynamic braking built in the controller.
Warning:
The brake may not be as effective when engaged on inclines greater than 12 degrees or 21% if the occupant’s weight exceeds 250 pounds.
In case
the brake fails to engage, the Titan
may roll slowly on a slope. Turning off the power immediately.
5. MOVE MANUALLY
When in operation, the clutch release lever is in its engaged position. To move the scooter manually, release the clutch lever mounted on the gearbox under the rear shroud. Should you wish to freewheel the Titan, pull the lever to its release position. Or you can press the PUSH button to release the brake. Take your finger off the PUSH button, and the brake will re-engage.

VI. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ACEME-DTP disclaims all responsibility for any personal injury or property damage, which may occur as a result of improper or unsafe use of its products. The following guidelines are intended to assist you in the safe operation of your Titan scooter. Should you have any questions about the correct operation of your Titan, please contact your ACEME-DTP’s authorized dealer. Consult your physician if in doubt of your ability to operate the Titan.
Your Titan can negotiate grass, gravel, dirt, and sand surfaces, as well as hard paved or carpeted surfaces. However, extra caution should be taken when operating your unit on uneven surfaces.
There are some concerns about electromagnetic interference to powered wheelchairs and scooters. You need to know what EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) is and how to prevent such incidents. The following paragraphs suggested by the FDA are intended to provide you some important information about this.
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
Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters (in this text, both will be referred to as powered wheelchairs) 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 wheelchair to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the powered wheelchair’s control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (v/m). Each powered wheelchair can resist EMI up to certain intensity. This is called its “immunity lever.” 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. The immunity level of this powered scooter as shipped, with no further modification, is not known.
There are ample 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 below, your risk to EMI will be minimized.
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 transceivers, 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, and
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
wheelchair.
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 movement and braking. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the powered scooter.
WARNINGS
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect powered scooter and motorized scooters. Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or powered scooter movement, 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 powered scooter.
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.
If unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn the power OFF as soon as it is safe.
The following warning label is attached to your scooter in order to make users always aware that a possibility of electromagnetic interference exists.
WARNING: Radio
wave sources may affect scooter control
Radio waves
sources, such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters,
cellular phones, and two-way radios, can affect motorized scooters. Following the
warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or
scooter movement, which could result in serious injury. 1). Do not turn ON or
use hand-held personal communication devices, such as citizens band (CB) radios
and cellular phones, while your scooter is turned ON; 2). Be aware of nearby
transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and hand-held or mobile two-way
radios, and try to avoid coming close to them. 3). If unintended movement or
brake release occurs, turn the power OFF as soon as it is safe. 4). Be aware that adding accessories or
components, or modifying your scooter, may make it more susceptible to
interference from radio wave sources. (Note: There is no easy way to evaluate
their effect on the overall immunity of the scooter), and 5). Report all
incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the scooter manufacturer,
and note whether there is a radio wave source nearby. Important Information:
1) 20 volts per meter (v/m) is a
generally achievable and useful immunity lever, against interference from radio
wave sources (as of May 1994) (the higher the lever, the greater the
protection); 2) The immunity level of this product is not known.
