When driving up an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then accelerate
cautiously. When driving down an incline, set the speed switch to MIN and drive forward only. If your scooter starts to
move down the incline faster than you want, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever,
then push the throttle control lever forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
WARNING! When on any incline, never place the scooter in freewheel mode while seated on it or standing next to
it.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive up at an angle. Always drive your scooter straight up the
incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of tipping over or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an
incline.
WARNING! Do not drive up or down a potentially hazardous incline (e.g., areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet
leaves) or drive your scooter across an incline or diagonally up or down an incline; if possible, do not stop while driving up
or down an incline.
WARNING!
Even though your scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater than those illustrated, do not, under any
circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could
cause your scooter to become unstable. Note that public accesses ramps are not subject to government regulation in
all countries, and therefore do not necessarily have the same standard degree of slope. Other inclines may be natural
or not be designed specifically for scooters.
The figure on page 14 illustrates your scooters’ stability and its ability to climb under various weight loads and under
controlled testing conditions.
These tests were conducted with the scooter seat in the highest position and in its farthest rearward position. Use this
information as a guideline. Your scooters’ ability to travel up inclines is affected by your weight, scooter speed, your
angle of approach to the incline, and your scooter setup.
