Obstacles

Driving up obstacles
Drive straight up to the curb or obstacle, almost touching it with your front
•
wheel.
Push the forward/reverse lever and drive onto the sidewalk without changing
•
direction.
As soon as the front wheel is on the sidewalk, you need to keep up your
•
speed for the back wheels to be able to move up onto the sidewalk as well.
If you cannot drive up onto the sidewalk, find a lower part that is less
-
steep where you can.
Any obstacle should be taken in forward direction.
-
- It is always recommended to use properly-designed sidewalk
transitions instead of driving over curbs.
Do not drive over obstacles great than 3".
-
Practice taking slightly elevated obstacles, and then gradually
increase the elevation of the obstacles, until you can take the
maximum height. Take your time for this.
