IX. OPERATION After your scooter is assembled, and adjustments have been made you are now ready to operate your scooter. Refer to the tiller diagram in Section V PARTS for key functions. The key switch applies power to the control system electronics, which in turn supplies power to the motors. Turn the key switch with the key inserted to turn on your scooter. ATTENTION - Do not use the key switch to stop, or as a brake. Doing so may shorten the life of the drive components. SUGGESTION - It is recommended you start at the slowest speed setting when familiarizing yourself with your scooter controls. Once you feel comfortable with the controls, and movement of the scooter you may then increase the speed. Rotate the speed knob to the lowest speed setting. Engage the throttle, and begin steering to drive forward, backward, left or right. If you want to stop the scooter, release the throttle and it will automatically return to the center position to stop the unit. Once familiar with the controls rotate the speed knob to increase the top speed to a comfortable setting. When the scooter is turned on, the battery gauge will display red, orange, and green indicators: Red: Your scooter should be charged as soon as possible. Orange: Do not drive your scooter for a long trip. Green: Your scooter has full battery capacity. Spitfire Scout Owner's Manual 25 www.drivemedical.com REV3.9.29.14
