Driving down slopes (fi gure 17)
When driving down slopes, drive as slowly as possible
and with the utmost control.
Warning!
Turn the speed regulator fully to the left (to the lowest
speed) before driving down a slope.
Lean your upper body to the rear and, when braking,
brake gently. Braking too hard can cause the scooter to
tip forwards.
Obstacles (fi gure 18)
Driving over obstacles
• Drive straight towards the kerb or other obstacle and
stop when the front wheel is almost touching the
obstacle.
• Then press the drive lever and drive onto the
pavement without changing direction.
• Once the front wheel is on the pavement, the same
speed must be maintained so that the rear wheels
can also mount the pavement.
• If it is not possible to drive onto the pavement, look
for a location where the kerb is lower.
• Obstacles must always be approached at right
angles (fi gure 19).
• It is always advisable to make use of kerbs lowered
for vehicles rather than driving over high kerbs.
• Do not drive over obstacles which are higher than
5 cm.
Warning!
Practise by driving over low obstacles, slowly increasing
heights until you are able to drive over obstacles of the
maximum height. Allow yourself plenty of time for this..
Descending from obstacles
• Exercise extreme caution when descending from
obstacles.
• Drive straight towards the kerb and stop at the kerb’s
edge.
• Carefully press the drive lever and allow the scooter
to drive off of the pavement without changing
direction.
