When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then
acceleratecautiously.When driving down an incline,do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest
settingand driving inthe forward direction only.If yourscooter starts tomove downthe incline fasterthan you
anticipatedor desired,allow itto come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever.Then push the
throttlecontrolleverforwardslightlytoensurea 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! Do not drive your scooter across the side of an incline or diagonally up or down
an incline; do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down 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.
WARNING! Even though your scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater than those
illustrated in figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or
any other specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your
scooter.
