SAFETY
DRIVING YOUR P3 CRUISER ON AN INCLINE
•
For maximum stability, lean forward on your seat while proceeding up ramps, slopes, curbs,
or any low rise.
•
Drive with caution when attempting to negotiate any incline, even handicap access ramps.
•
Always climb or descend a gradient by driving straight up or straight down the face of the slope.
• Do not traverse or drive across the face of a gradient.
•
Do not attempt to negotiate an incline that is covered with snow, ice, cut or wet grass, leaves,
or any other potentially hazardous material.
• Do not back down an incline.
• Try to keep your P3 Cruiser moving when climbing an incline. If you do come to a stop, restart
and accelerate slowly and carefully.
• Do not try to descend or climb a slope whose gradient is greater than recommended. See
“Specifications” section.
WARNING: IF, WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN A SLOPE, YOUR SCOOTER STARTS
TO MOVE FASTER THAN YOU FEEL IS SAFE, RELEASE THE THUMB LEVER AND ALLOW
YOUR P3 CRUISER TO COME TO A STOP. WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU AGAIN HAVE
CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER, PUSH THE THUMB LEVER FORWARD AND CONTINUE
SAFELY DOWN THE REMAINDER OF THE SLOPE.
DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE
• Always drive forward down any ramp, low rise, or incline.

EMI / RFI
The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has saturated
our environment with electromagnetic (radio) waves that are emitted by television transmitters,
cellular phones, citizen’s band radios (CBs) amateur radios (HAM radios), wireless computers links,
microwave transmitters, paging transmitters, etc. These electromagnetic (EM) waves are
invisible and increase in strength the closer one gets to the source of transmission. When
these energy waves act upon electrical devices and cause them to malfunction or to function
in an erratic or uncontrolled manner, they are referred to as Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
EMI / RFI AND YOUR P3 CRUISER
All electrically powered vehicles, including scooters are susceptible to EMI / RFI. This
interference could result in abnormal or unintended movement of your Planet Mobility
P3 Cruiser.
The FDA has determined that each make and model of scooter can resist EMI / RFI to a
certain level. The higher the level of resistance, the greater the degree of protection from
EMI / RFI – measured in volts per meter (V/M). The FDA has also determined that current
technology is capable of providing 20 V/M of resistance to EMI/RFI, which would provide
useful protection against common sources of interference. The resistance level of the Planet
Mobility P3 Cruiser is unknown.
EMI / RFI RECOMMENDATIONS
• Do not turn on or use hand-held personal electronic communication devices such as
cellular phones, walkie-talkies, or CB radios while your scooter is turned on.
• Be aware of any nearby transmitters (radio, television, microwave, etc.) on your intended
route and avoid operation of your scooter close to any of those transmitters.
•
Remove the key if your P3 Cruiser is going to be in a stationary position for any length
of time.
•
Be aware that adding accessories or components or modifying your scooter may make
it more susceptible to EMI / RFI.
•
If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn your scooter off and remove the
key as soon as it is safe to do so.
• Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake failure to Planet Mobility.
WARNING: TURN OFF YOUR SCOOTER AND REMOVE THE KEY AS SOON AS IT IS SAFE
TO DO SO IF UNINTENDED OR UNCONTROLLABLE MOTION OCCURS OR IF UNINTENDED
BRAKE RELEASE OCCURS.

Control through tight spots
As you use your P3 Cruiser to increase your mobility, you will undoubtedly encounter some
obstacles that will require practice to negotiate smoothly and safely. Below are some common
obstacles that you may meet during the daily use of your scooter. Listed with those obstacles
are some driving tips that should help you conquer those obstacles. Learn and follow those
tips, and with surprising ease you will soon be in control of your scooter as you maneuver
it through doors, up and down ramps, up and over curbs, through grass and gravel, and up
and down inclines.
Doors
• Approach any unfamiliar door slowly.
• Notice if the door has a knob or a push bar.
• Determine if the door opens towards you or away from you.
• Do not try to use your own strength to open the door. Learn to use the power of
your scooter to do the majority of the work for you.
If the door opens away from you:
1. Use one hand to turn the doorknob or to operate the push bar.
2.
Use your other hand to steer the scooter and to gently press on the thumb lever that
will move your scooter slowly forward.
3. Use your arm to push the door gently open.
4. Drive through the doorway.
5. If it is a self-closing door, it will close behind you.
6. If it is not a self-closing door, stop your scooter when it is clear of the door and use
your hand to push the door closed.
If the door opens towards you:
1. Use one hand to turn the doorknob or to pull the handle.
2. Keep your grip on the knob or on the handle.
3.
Use your other hand to steer your scooter and to gently press the thumb lever that
will move your scooter slowly in reverse.
4. Allow the power of your P3 Cruiser to pull the door completely open.
5. When the door is completely open, stop your scooter.
6.
Drive through the doorway while keeping your hand on the door to prevent it from
hitting or blocking your scooter.
7. If it is a self-closing door, it will close behind you.
8. If it is not a self-closing door, pull it closed behind you.
Ramps
Because of the American Disabilities Act (ADA), many buildings are fitted with ramps that
provide access for scooters and for other mobility vehicles.
P3 Cruiser Owner’s Manual- Model GB-106
Page 18

RIDING YOUR P3 CRUISER cont.
When proceeding up any ramp, curb, or incline:
•
Lean forward in your seat to move your center of gravity forward for maximum stability
and safety.
RISK OF ACCIDENTS!
Negotiating curbs requires practice.
Please observe the maximum obstacle heights of 2 inches.
Please start practicing curb climbing with small curbs.
If the ramp has a switchback, good cornering ability is required.
• Maneuver your scooter so that the front wheels take wide swings around the corners
of the ramp.
•
Doing this will allow your scooter’s back wheels to follow a wide arc around the corner,
staying clear of obstacles.
If you must stop your scooter while driving up a ramp:
• Starting up again simply requires that you apply gentle and steady forward power
(pressure to the right-hand thumb lever).
• Accelerate gently after stopping on any incline.
Driving down a ramp:
• Keep your P3 Cruiser speed control dial set fully counterclockwise at the slowest speed setting.
• If you must come to a stop, release the thumb control lever slowly and smoothly.
Max incline:
6�
Grass and Gravel
Your P3 Cruiser performs admirably on grass, gravel, and hills, but you must follow the
operational parameters presented in this manual. Refer to the “Safety” section. If you are
unsure about any situation, avoid it. Common sense is your best protection
• Feel free to use your P3 Cruiser on lawns or in park areas.
• Avoid long or high grass, which may wrap around your scooter’s axles.
