when turning so that the rear wheels clear any obstacles.

to go. Always take your time.

The Gecko scooters are not designed for use in loose gravel, sand or soft grass. Your scooter
is also not designed to be used in wet weather or rain.
Ramps
The stability of your scooter is governed by several factors such as the seating position of the
occupant, the angle of the slope, your height and weight. When approaching an incline, do so
directly, avoid driving up on an angle. Where ever possible avoid making turns on any incline
or decline. When going down a slope set the speed setting to SLOW, this will ensure there is
a safe controlled decent. When the finger levers are released the scooter will slow to a stop.
Do not turn off the control switch whilst the unit is in motion.
Please follow all the guidelines and your scooter will perform admirably over many surfaces.
Doors
Always ensure your speed is set at the SLOWEST setting.
Think in terms of using the power of the Gecko scooter to do the work for you. For doors that
open outward, hold the door knob with your right hand and reverse the Gecko scooter as
described earlier. Where the door opens inwards hold the door knob with your left hand and
push your accelerator lever with your RIGHT thumb.
