Curbs
Do not go up or down a curb that is higher than 4 cm;
Always use caution when descending any curb;
Approach the curb so that both back wheels of your scooter go over the curb at
the same time;
Never go down on curbs by traversing them. Doing this will cause the scooter to
tip over;
Go down a curb slowly to avoid a jarring bump. Use as little power as possible.
Grass and Gravel
Your scooter performs admirably on grass, gravel, and hills, but you must follow the
operational parameters presented in this manual, see chapter 3. If you are unsure
about any situation, avoid it.
Feel free to use your scooter on lawns or in park areas;
Avoid long or high grass, which may wrap around your scooter's axles;
Avoid loose gravel.
4.7 Going up an incline / down a decline
Driving on inclines
For maximum stability, lean forward in your scooters seat while
proceeding up ramps, inclines, curbs, or any low rise;
Drive with caution when attempting to drive up to any incline, even handicap
access ramps;
Always climb or descend an incline by driving straight up or straight down
the face of the slope;
Do not traverse or drive across the face of an incline in any direction;
Do not attempt to descend an incline that is covered with snow, ice, cut or
wet grass, leaves, or any other potentially hazardous material;
Do not back down an incline;
Try to keep your scooter moving when climbing an incline. If you do
come to a stop, restart and accelerate slowly and carefully.
Do not try to descend or climb a slope whose gradient is greater than
recommended. The recommended incline is 6°.
Warning:
If, while you are driving down a slope, your scooter starts to move faster than
you feel is safe, release the throttle control lever and allow your scooter to
come to a stop. When you feel that you again have control of your scooter, push
the throttle control lever forward and continue safely down the remainder of
the slope.
