  • Page 8 These tests were conducted with the Maxima’s seat in the highest position and adjusted backward on the seat base to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your Maxima’s ability to travel up inclines is affected by your weight, your scooter’s speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your scooter setup.
