Driving Uphill; Driving Downhill - Segway FUGLEMAN SGW1000F-U2 Owner's Manual

Driving uphill

Braking and handling are greatly affected when operating in hilly
terrain. Improper procedure could cause loss of control or rollover.
Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions:
1. Always move the 4x4 switch to 4x4 (if equipped) before
ascending or descending a hill.
2. Always travel straight uphill.
3. Keep both feet on the floor.
4. Always check the terrain carefully before ascending any hill.
Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
5. Proceed at a steady speed and steady throttle. Never open
the throttle suddenly.
6. Never go over the crest of a hill at high speed. An obstacle, a
sharp drop, or another vehicle or person could be on the other
side of the hill.

Driving downhill

When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
1. Avoid excessively steep hills.
2. Always move the 4x4 switch to 4x4 (if equipped) before
ascending or descending a hill.
3. Drive straight downhill. Avoid descending a hill at an angle,
which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side.
Travel straight downhill when possible.
4. Slow down.
5. Apply the brakes slightly to help slowing.
