brake. Releasing the hand brake, slowly press the right thumb throttle (throttle) and

cause its front wheel to spin, which can be dangerous for drivers. Slowly pressing the
accelerator each time you start will help to avoid or reduce this condition.

scooter reacts to your body weight. Shifting your body weight through the turn will help
add stability. As you feel more comfortable, you will be able to make the turns tighter.

slow the unit down, back off on the turn and place your feet on the ground.
3. Learn to reverse. Prior to engaging reverse (reverse switch control), turn your head to
make sure there are not people or hazards such as curbs, parked cars or walls behind
you and then switch to reverse setting and slowly press down on the thumb throttle.
Only use the reverse function to move away from an obstacle or back out of an elevator.
While in reverse, limit turns or changes in directions.
4. Avoid steep inclines and hills. The SNAPnGO is not designed to be driven up or down
steep inclines or hills. However, the SNAPnGO should be able to drive up all wheelchair
ramps which comply with government standards. Leaning your body forward, which
places more weight on the front wheel, will aid the scooter up the ramp. Carefully
control your speed on the descent. Avoid making turns while going down a hill.
