Ramps
When proceeding up any ramp, curb, or incline:
Lean forward in your seat to move your centre of gravity forward for maximum
stability and safety.
If the ramp has a switchback, good cornering ability is required:
Manoeuvre 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 throttle control lever.
Accelerate gently after stopping on any incline.
Driving down a ramp
Keep your scooter’s speed control dial set fully counter clockwise at the slowest
speed setting;
If you must come to a stop, release the throttle control lever slowly and
smoothly.
Curbs
Please use as many times the ramps in the curbs;
Do not go up or down a curb that is higher than 4 cm;
Always use caution when descending any curb;
Approach the curb so that both back wheels of your scooter go over the curb at
the same time;
Never go down on curbs by traversing them. Doing this will cause the scooter to
tip over;
Go down a curb slowly to avoid a jarring bump. Use as little power as possible.
Grass and Gravel
Your scooter performs admirably on grass, gravel, and hills, but you must follow the
operational parameters presented in this manual, see chapter 3. If you are unsure
about any situation, avoid it.
Feel free to use your scooter on lawns or in park areas;
Avoid long or high grass, which may wrap around your scooter's axles;
Avoid loose gravel.
