II. SAFETY

When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then

acceleratecautiously.When driving down anincline, do soby setting the speed adjustment dial to theslowest

settingand drivingin the forwarddirection only. If your scooterstarts tomove downthe incline faster than you

anticipatedor desired,allow itto come to a complete stop byreleasing thethrottle controllever.Then pushthe

throttlecontrolleverforwardslightlytoensureasafelycontrolled 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!Eventhough your scooteriscapableof climbing slopesgreaterthan those illustratedin

figures 1 and 2, 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, resulting

in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and

steeringangle(i.e.,lessen the sharpnessofthe turn) topreventyourscooter from tipping.
