1. PREFACE AND INTRODUCTION
Please carefully read this owner’s handbook before using the scooter to ensure that you operate the scooter safely. Improper use of the scooter could result in damage, injury or traffic accidents.
This handbook also advises how to get most out of your scooter by giving comprehensive operating, assembly and maintenance instructions for the scooter.
A repair and maintenance record chart and warranty information is included with this handbook. Please keep it in a safe place or with the scooter.
If someone else uses the scooter make sure that you provide him or her with this handbook for their consideration.
As designs change some of the illustrations and pictures in the manual may not correspond to the scooters that you purchased. We reserve the right to make design modifications.
The Scout range of scooters have been designed and manufactured to provide a comfortable and secure yet affordable solution for some mobility requirements. They are designed for a single user to compensate for a loss of mobility as a result of a disability. They are manoeuvrable and are suitable for indoor and some outdoor application where the terrain is forgiving (for example smooth paths, shopping centres, etc). They are class 2 scooters as defined by the Road Traffic Act 1988. They feature a rotating seat and can be easily folded and disassembled.
There are two styles of Scout scooter available:
3-wheel model for compact environments
4-wheel model for greater stability

4.2 How To Operate Your Scooter
Key Ignition. The key ignition acts as the power switch for the scooter. To switch the power on, turn the key clockwise and battery gauge should illuminate. To switch the power off, turn the key anticlockwise, after which the battery gauge should switch off and the key can be removed.
Do not turn the ignition off whilst driving as this will lead to an emergency stop and possible risk of damage or injury.
Speed Dial. Turn the speed dial to determine the maximum speed of the scooter. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the speed setting and turn the dial anticlockwise to decrease the speed setting.
Do not adjust the speed dial whilst driving as this could result in loss of control. Do not set the highest speed whilst driving indoors.
Tiller Lock. When the tiller is centred, pull the tiller lock down to secure the tiller for transportation.
Push the tiller lock up to release.
Always ensure the tiller lock is disengaged when driving the scooter. Always check the tiller moves and turns freely before driving.
Moving and Braking. To move forward, pull the right hand side of the wigwag paddle with your hand towards you whilst resting the palm of your hand on the lower handle bar. Pull the left hand side of the wigwag paddle towards you and the scooter will move backwards, emitting an audible reversing alarm. To brake, release the wigwag paddle which will return to neutral and activate the electromagnetic brake automatically and bring the scooter to a prompt stop. The wigwag paddle allows you to control the speed of the scooter up to a maximum speed determined by the Speed Dial.
The further the wigwag paddle is deflected, the faster the scooter will go (up to 4mph).
Warning
Do not push both left and right hand sides of the wigwag simultaneously. You
Page 4 of 16
Owner’s Handbook (Code: MS008_IFU 08/13)
will not be able to control the scooter.
Horn Button. Press the horn button to sound the horn. Release the button to stop the horn. The horn is the yellow button located on the control panel.
Braking – Electromagnetic Brake. Release the wigwag paddle completely, and the electromagnetic brake will be activated automatically and the scooter will stop.
When on a gradient, never set the vehicle to freewheel mode. The brakes will not be applied.
Seat. The seat can be rotated and locked in position at 45º intervals. Push the seat lever forward and swivel the seat. Release the lever and then continue swivelling the seat until it locks in position.
Attention.
Return the seat to the forward position before driving.
Adjusting the Seat Height.
Firstly remove the seat by rotating the seat (as described above) whilst pulling up on the seat.
Remove the nut and bolt securing the chrome post in to the chassis of the scooter. Reposition the seat post to the required height and then secure by reattaching the nut and bolt.
Battery Gauge. The battery gauge on the tiller console lights LEDs to show remaining power:
Green (3 or 4 LEDS lit) - 40% - 100% capacity
Yellow (2 LEDs lit) - draining charge (10% - 30%)
Red (1 LED lit) - immediate recharge is necessary.
If the leftmost LED is flashing, this means the scooter has encountered a problem. The LED will flash a number of times then pause. Count the number of flashes to determine the problem.
If you experience any flash sequences first restart the scooter, ensuring the wigwag paddle is released. If this does not remedy the problem recharge the batteries.
If the error persists contact your Drive Medical Dealer.
Attention
You should recharge the batteries after each use to ensure maximum range. Read the Battery Charging section in the handbook before use.
Circuit Breaker (
Arrowed Below)
. The circuit breaker may trip when the scooter is under excessive load or when travelling on steep inclines.
It will be more prone to tripping when the scooter is low on battery charge. Under normal conditions the circuit breaker button will protrude by 2mm – 3mm.
If the circuit breaker has tripped the button will protrude by 7mm. To reset the circuit breaker, push the button in and the scooter should operate as normal.
The remaining power indicated by the battery gauge will vary by the driving time incurred and how you drive. Repeated starting, stopping and climbing will consume power more quickly. The gauge is shown previously.

Scout Electric Scooter Page 7 of 16
Owner’s Handbook (Code: MS008_IFU 08/13)
Charger Light
The charger light will illuminate orange to indicate the batteries are charging. The charging duration is about 8 hours (for the 12Ah battery pack) or 12 hours
(for the 20Ah battery pack), however a 12 hour charge is recommended for optimum performance.
The orange light will turn green when charging is complete.
Ensure that the charger is removed from the mains and the scooter or battery pack after charging. Failure to do this may flatten the battery.
Do not remove the battery pack whilst the scooter is switched on.
Suggestions
1. Do not disconnect the charger cord until charging is completed and the light is lit
Green.
2. When fully charged the battery charger will still trickle charge the battery for optimum range.
3. Even when not in use, the scooter should be charged at least every week to ensure battery longevity.
4. Ambient temperature will effect charging time. Charging time will be longer in cold environments.
5. The batteries carry a 1 year warranty which covers manufacturing defects only. It does not cover battery faults as result of not following the guidelines herein.
Warning
1. Only use the charger supplied with the scooter. Using the wrong type of charger may cause damage. Never disassemble or modify the scooter.
2. Always charge the scooter in a well ventilated space. Avoid direct sunlight or contact with water and moisture.
3. Do not charge or operate the scooter in temperatures below -10ºC or above
50ºC. Do not expose the battery pack to these temperatures.
About the Battery Pack
The battery pack contains two 12V batteries. The batteries are sealed lead acid type and are maintenance free and are non-spillable. They are fitted with spade terminals.
The batteries require charging every week to ensure battery longevity.
The batteries supplied as standard with the battery pack are classified as safe for air transport under
IATA special provision A67.
Warning
If battery pack loses contact with the scooter during operation switch the key ignition off, re-insert the battery pack and switch the ignition back on.
Battery Care
1. You should recharge the batteries after each time the scooter is used to ensure maximum battery range. The batteries should be charged at least once a week even if the scooter is not used.
2. After charging or replacing a new battery, drive the scooter for a short period to ensure battery capacity is sufficient.
3. In cold environments, the battery may respond more slowly and range will be reduced.
4. When driving on a gradient, the battery gauge will fluctuate. This is a normal occurrence.
5. Battery range is reduced when driving up gradients or on rough terrain, as the scooter uses more power.
6. The batteries should not be charged for more than 24 hours.
Battery Replacement
It is natural for the battery capacity to reduce with time, even if the battery is charged as directed above.
When the battery range is about half of its peak performance we recommend that the batteries are changed. Continuing to use an old battery will result in a rapid reduction in the range of the scooter and can cause excessive wear and tear on other parts of the scooter.
