Pride Mobility Revo Sport Owner's Manual page 8

When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then
accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest
setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your scooter starts to move down the incline faster than you
anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever. Then push the
throttle control lever forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline.
Drive your scooter straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall.
Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas covered
with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the scooter in freewheel mode
while seated on it or standing next to it.
Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for scooters. Figures 1 and 1A illustrate
your Revo Sport’s stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing
conditions.
These tests were conducted with the Revo Sport’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 Revo Sport’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.
