Stationary Obstacles (Steps, Curbs, etc.)
Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, un-
protected curbs and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches, stairs, etc.). Refer
to the scooter specifications for information regarding maximum ob-
stacle climbing height for your scooter.
To navigate up over a curb or stationary obstacle:
1. Approach the curb or obstacle slowly, and make sure the scooter
is traveling perpendicular to the obstacle. See figure 6.
2. Increase the forward speed just before the front wheel come in
contact with the obstacle.
3. Reduce the forward speed only after the rear wheels have cleared
the obstacle.
To navigate down a curb or stationary obstacle:
1. Approach the curb or obstacle slowly, and make sure the scooter
is traveling perpendicular to the obstacle. See figure 6.
2. Reduce the forward speed just before the front wheel comes in
contact with the obstacle.
3. Increase the forward speed only after the rear wheels has cleared
the obstacle and you are once again on a level surface.
WARNING! Even though your scooter may be
capable
recommend that you do not attempt to negotiate a
curb that has a height greater than 1.5 in. (4 cm).
Doing so could cause instability in your scooter.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter
climb or descend an obstacle that is inordinately
high.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter
proceed backward down any step, curb, or other
obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip.
WARNING! Do not approach curbs at an angle;
instead, approach any curb you intend to ascend
or descend in the forward position.
WARNING! The iRide is intended for operation on
flat, even surfaces whether indoors or outdoors.
Examples of "indoors" typically include, but are
not limited to, linoleum, hardwood, tile, non-pile
and low-pile carpeting.
typically include, but are not limited to, concrete,
asphalt, macadam, and certain refined brick
configurations. Do not operate your scooter on or
near uneven surfaces such as stairs, drop-offs,
ledges, grass, gravel, sand, mulch, dirt, mud or
deteriorated
surfaces. Failure to heed this warning may result
in damage to the product or cause instability and
tipping resulting in personal injury or death.
