II. SAFETY
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is shown in figures
1 and 1A may put your scooter in an unstable position and cause it to tip.
WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 15 lbs. Never fill the front or
rear basket with contents exceeding 15 lbs.
When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then
acceleratecautiously. Whendriving down anincline,do sobysetting the speedadjustmentdial totheslowest
settinganddriving intheforward directiononly. Ifyourscooter startstomove downthe incline fasterthan you

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 figures 1 and 1A, 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.

TIRE INFLATION
Ifyourscooter isequipped withpneumatictires, youshouldcheck orhave theairpressure checkedat leastonce
aweek.Properinflationpressures willprolong thelifeof yourtires andhelp ensurethesmooth operationof your
scooter.
WARNING! It is critically important that 30-35 psi tire pressure be maintained in pneumatic
tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in
loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain 30-35 psi tire pressure
in pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.
WARNING! Inflate your scooter tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure
gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting
in a burst tire.
WARNING! When changing a tire, remove only the center lug nut, then remove the wheel.
If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tire completely or it may explode.
