Hoveround Spitfire Scout 4-Wheel Travel Scooter Owners Manual - Page 8

III. SAFETY GUIDELINES 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.
