5. Hills & Slopes: Going Down Hill. Lean back
and turn the speed control dial to low
. If you are
not comfortable about tackling a gradient, consider
an alternative route. Try to avoid crossing slopes
always drive straight up or down the slope.
Never
make sharp turns on slopes or back down a
slope.
6. Terrain: Do not drive the scooter across deep,
soft
or slippery terrain (for example, soft dirt, sand,
deep water, snow or loose gravel). You could get
stuck. Also avoid rutted, bumpy ground and try to
stay on well prepared hard surfaces.
7. Turning: Always slow down before a turn;
turning at speed can cause the scooter to topple.
Look in the direction you are travelling –
a blind corner sound the horn.
8. Turning Circle: Practice manoeuvring the
scooter so you can judge the turning circle. This is
important to avoid tipping off kerbs or for
negotiating tight spaces.
9. Bad Weather: If it is raining heavily, snowing or
icy stay at home! Remember that ice, snow and
slippery surfaces such as manhole covers, wet
grass and drains could affect braking and steering.
