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 throttle control on 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.
Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do not
necessarily share the same standard percent of slope. Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed
specifically for Scooters. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate your Cyclone’s stability and its ability to climb grades under
various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.
These tests were conducted with the Cyclone’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 Cyclone’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.

FIGURE 2. MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED INCLINE ANGLE FOR THE 4-WHEEL CYCLONE
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than shown in figures 1 and 2 may put
your Scooter in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.
