Travelling On Hills, Up And Downhill Travel - Paravan PR 35 User Manual

11.7

Travelling on hills, up and downhill travel

You must observe the following rules for your own safety when travelling up and downhill:
> Put the longitudinal seat adjustment mechanism into the furthest back position in order to avoid slipping.
> Only travel with your seatbelt fastened.
> Avoid sharp braking during downhill travel so that the PR 35 does not lurch from side to side or swerve.
> When travelling up and downhill select a low movement level or speed so that you don't lose control over
the PR 35 at any time.
> When travelling up and downhill from an incline of more than 7°, the stability of the PR 35 cannot be gua-
ranteed, or there can be a danger of the PR 35 tipping.
> The power generated during downhill travel is diverted into the battery. If the battery is fully charged upon
commencing the trip, the safety system switches to emergency stop in order to avoid damage due to the
overloading of the electronics. If this is the case, switch an electricity consumer (light) on in order to run
down the battery, and then continue your trip.
L
The brake lock release lever must be set to "LOCK" when travelling up or downhill. The motor brake
is only effective when set to "LOCK". The result of this would be travelling downhill without braking!
