GENERAL GUIDELINES

Before operating your scooter fully read and understand this Owner’s Manual.

Be sure to follow the setup instructions prior to using your scooter for the first time.

Users may encounter difficult maneuvering situations such as narrow doorways,

travelling up and down ramps, cornering, and travelling on uneven terrain. Be sure to

lower the speed, take your time, and carefully maneuver the scooter.

MODIFICATIONS

Do not modify, remove, disable, or add any parts, features, or functions on your

scooter. Drive Medical offers a wide variety of accessories for your scooter to help

accommodate your needs.

WARNING –Do not modify your scooter in any way; doing so will void the

warranty.

WEIGHT CAPACITY

This scooter has a maximum weight capacity that should never be exceeded. Please

refer to Section XII SPECIFICATIONS for this information. The maximum weight

capacity includes the user and any accessories.

WARNING –Exceeding the maximum weight capacity will void your

warranty. Drive Medical will not be held responsible for injuries and/or

damages resulting from failure to observe weight capacities.

WARNING –Do not carry passengers on your scooter. Your scooter is

designed and tested for one user to operate while seated.

INCLINE GUIDELINES

Use caution when approaching inclines or declines; if necessary lower the speed

before travelling on a slope.

When travelling up an incline try to keep the scooter moving forward. If you must

come to a stop, use caution and slowly accelerate the scooter forward.

When travelling down an incline lower the speed on your scooter to the slowest

setting, and proceed cautiously. If the scooter is travelling down the incline faster than

you expected, slowly release the throttle to come to a stop, then slightly push the

throttle forward to continue safely down the incline.

WARNING –Never put the scooter in freewheel model while on an

incline.

WARNING –Drive your scooter straight up or down an incline, never

backwards. Erratic movements, or back and forth patterns may increase

the chance of tipping.

III. SAFETY GUIDELINES

REV6.3.20.17

Scout Owner’s Manual www.drivemedical.com

WARNING –Do not travel up an incline with the seat completely reclined

without an attendant. Inclines vary, and doing so may decrease stability.

WARNING –Do not, under any circumstances, travel on a slope greater

than the maximum climbing angle for this scooter. Please refer to Section

XII SPECIFICATIONS for this information. Exceeding the climbing angle

may cause unstable conditions.

FREEWHEEL GUIDELINES

Your scooter is equipped with manual freewheel levers to maneuver the unit without

power. The manual freewheel levers can be engaged or disengaged.

Disengaged, or “freewheel” mode, releases the locking mechanism on the gearbox

allowing the scooter to roll freely with or without power.

Engaged, or “drive” mode, secures the locking mechanism on the gearbox preventing

the scooter from rolling freely.

WARNING –Never attempt to personally put your scooter in freewheel

mode while seated in the unit.

WARNING –Never put the scooter in freewheel mode while on an incline.

This may cause uncontrollable movements.

ATTENTION –When your scooter is in freewheel mode you may feel

resistance when maneuvering; this is normal, and prevents damage to the

gearbox.

ATTENTION –Please refer to Section V PARTS to locate the freewheel

levers on your scooter.

SUGGESTION –If you hear a “clicking” noise when engaging the throttle,

but the scooter will not move –turn off the power, engage the freewheel

levers, and power back on to continue.

BRAKES & STOPPING

Coming to a stop in your scooter can simply be done by releasing the throttle. The

throttle will automatically return to the center position, and the scooter will come to a

stop.

ATTENTION –Quickly moving the throttle in the opposite direction of

travel will cause the scooter to come to an abrupt stop, and if held

continuously in the opposite direction may cause erratic movements if

you are unfamiliar with the controls.

Your scooter is equipped with two types of brake systems:

Regenerative brakes –when the throttle is returned to the center position, or

stop neutral position, regenerative brakes use electricity to quickly decelerate

the vehicle.

Park brakes –once the scooter comes to a complete stop the park brake

activates automatically locking the drive wheels.

OUTDOOR OPERATION & INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS

While your scooter is purposed for in-home use to assist you in daily living activities;

Drive Medical understands there are times you need to operate the scooter outdoors,

and has designed it to perform superbly on level outdoor surfaces.

ATTENTION –When operating outdoors avoid uneven terrain, soft

surfaces, tall grass, loose gravel, loose sand, fresh water, salt water, edges

of streams, lakes or oceans. If you are unsure about a surface, avoid it.

Exposure to inclement weather should always be avoided. If you find yourself caught

in inclement weather while operating your scooter, proceed to the closest shelter

immediately. Completely dry your scooter before operating, charging, or storing.

STEPS, CURBS & FIXED OBSTACLES

Use extreme caution when operating your scooter near curbs, porches, stairs,

escalators, drop-offs, unprotected ledges, and raised areas.

WARNING –Never attempt to navigate your scooter over a fixed obstacle

taller than the maximum ground clearance. Please refer to Section XII

SPECIFICATIONS for this information.

WARNING –Never attempt to navigate your scooter backwards over an

obstacle.

WARNING –Never attempt to operate your scooter on steps or

escalators.

ATTENTION –Refer to the following guidelines and diagrams when

travelling over a fixed obstacle lower than the maximum ground

clearance of your scooter:

To maneuver up a fixed obstacle –Approach slowly, and make sure the front of the

scooter is perpendicular to the obstacle. Increase the forward speed until the scooter

has cleared the obstacle, and then you may reduce the speed or return the throttle to

neutral.

To maneuver down a fixed obstacle –Approach slowly, and make sure the front of the

scooter is perpendicular to the obstacle. Reduce the forward speed just before the

front wheels come in contact with the obstacle, and remain at the reduced speed until

scooter has cleared the obstacle, and then you may increase the forward speed.
