INCLINE GUIDELINES
When traveling down an incline lower the speed on your scooter to the slowest setting, and proceed
cautiously. If the scooter is traveling down the incline faster than you expected, slowly release the
throttle and apply the hand brake, then slightly push the throttle forward to continue safely down the
incline.
WARNING – Drive your scooter straight up or down an incline, never backwards. Erratic movements, or
back and forth patterns may increase the chance of tipping.
III. SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING – Do not travel up an incline with the seat completely reclined without an attendant. Inclines
vary, and doing so may decrease stability.
WARNING – Do not, under any circumstances, travel on a slope greater than the maximum climbing
angle for this scooter. Exceeding the climbing angle may cause unstable conditions.
OUTDOOR OPERATION & INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
ATTENTION – When operating outdoors avoid uneven terrain, soft surfaces, tall grass, loose gravel,
loose sand, fresh water, salt water, edges of streams, lakes or oceans. If you are unsure about a surface,
avoid it.
Exposure to inclement weather should always be avoided. If you find yourself caught in inclement
weather while operating your scooter, proceed to the closest shelter immediately. Completely dry your
scooter before operating, charging, or storing.
STEPS, CURBS & FIXED OBSTACLES
Use extreme caution when operating your scooter near curbs, porches, stairs, escalators, drop-offs,
unprotected ledges, and raised areas.
WARNING – Never attempt to navigate your scooter over a fixed obstacle taller than the maximum
ground clearance.
WARNING – Never attempt to navigate your scooter backwards over an obstacle.
WARNING – Never attempt to operate your scooter on steps or escalators.
ATTENTION – Refer to the following guidelines and diagrams when traveling over a fixed obstacle lower
than the maximum ground clearance of your scooter: To maneuver up a fixed obstacle – Approach
slowly, and make sure the front of the scooter is perpendicular to the obstacle. Increase the forward
speed until the scooter has cleared the obstacle, and then you may reduce the speed or return the
throttle to neutral.
