OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your PTV is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces composed
of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, The SCOOTER Store recognizes that there will be times when you
will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your PTV is designed to perform admirably on packed soil,
grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your PTV safely on lawns and in park areas.
n Reduce your PTV's speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
n Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
n Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
n If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)
Always approach a curb straight on whether ascending or descending it. See figures 3 and 3A.
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches,
stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your PTV climb or descend an obstacle that is inordinately high.
Serious personal injury and/or damage may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your PTV proceed backward down any step, curb, or other
obstacle. This may cause the PTV to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Be sure your PTV is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be required to ascend
or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.
WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than two inches.
