1.3 Safety instructions
1.3.1 Stability and slopes
• The maximum safe slope for the Caddy scooter is 3°. This is
the maximum slope where you can turn and manoeuvre safely
with the scooter without compromising the stability of the
vehicle.
• If you have any doubts about safety of the angle of the slope,
try to find another route. If this is not possible for any reason,
try to avoid making sudden movements (accelerating or
braking) and always drive straight up. Never attempt to turn on
a slope! Lean forward when driving up, lean back when driving
downhill. Don’t hesitate to call on help for someone to walk
behind you or beside you for support when you need it.
• It is possible your scooter will climb an incline steeper than the
maximum safe slope, this does not mean it is safe to do so.
Keep in mind the instructions in the last point.
• Your Caddy can take obstacles up to 3 cm. don´t try to climb
kerbs or obstacles higher than 3 cm. this can destabilize your
scooter. If you encounter an obstacle higher than 3 cm. call on
the help of another person to support you for safety while you
drive.
• Also when you are driving down a kerb or obstacle higher than
3 cm. the stability of your scooter can be compromised. In such
a situation always call upon the help of another person to
support you while driving down this obstacle.
• Especially the sideways stability of the scooter can be easily
compromised, for example when one of the rear wheels is on
an obstacle higher than 3 cm. Try to avoid such situations,
always lean towards the obstacle.
