Wet Conditions
The Zinger operates best in dry conditions on level
pavement. If wet conditions are unavoidable, minimize your
route, select Medium speed range, and apply extra force on
the levers. When safe, occasionally test your ability to stop
and turn. If it seems questionable, get offand push the
Zinger.!
Wet conditions will compromise the Zinger's ability to
brake, turn, and accelerate.!
Do not operate on hills, ramps or grass when wet.!
Grass and Rough Terrain
While dry, short mowed grass is an acceptable surface to
operate your Zinger, performance will feel very different.
You will need to use more force on the levers because your
Zinger is doing more work to move you. Do not operate the
Zinger on wet grass or unpaved hills.!
The Zinger is not intended for rough terrain. If you are
uncertain about the conditions that you might encounter
along your route, select an alternate form of transportation.!
Do not attempt to cross over curbs or gaps."
Do not operate on saturated ground, rocky or rooted
surfaces, loose gravel, sand, oil, snow or ice, playground
chips or any other suspiciously unfavorable condition.
Always use sidewalks and official pedestrian crossings.
When seated in the Zinger, you sit very low so that cars may
not see or expect you. Always use extra caution at
crossings or whenever you are exposed to traffic. Only
cross at official pedestrian crossings. Never drive the
Zinger on a roadway, roadside, or busy parking lot.!
Do not drive the Zinger close to a sidewalk edge, street
curb, stairs, or drop offof any kind.!
The Zinger steers by braking one of the rear wheels while
driving the other. The front wheels are casters which ideally
do not influence the direction of the Zinger. However if the
front wheels encounter angled ground, a rut, or the like,
they will influence the Zinger to steer in a new direction. For
this reason always keep both hands on the Control Levers
and be prepared to compensate for such irregularities. If a
front wheel goes over a large edge like a curb, stop
immediately. Exit the Zinger and bring it back onto level
ground. !
