II. SAFETY
To reduce the risk of a fall, tip over or loss of control:
1. Never use your Geo Cruiser on a slope unless you are sure you can do so without losing
traction.
2. Go as straight up and as straight down as you can.
a.
Do not “cut the corner” on a slope or ramp.
b. Do not turn or change direction on a slope.
3. Always stay in the center of the ramp. Make sure ramp is wide enough that you are not
at risk that a wheel may roll off the side.
4. Lean or press your body uphill. This will help adjust for a change in the center of balance
caused by the slope.
5. Always drive your Geo Cruiser moving at a slow steady speed. Keep control over the
Geo Cruiser at all times. On a descent, do not let the Geo Cruiser accelerate beyond its
normal speed, the Geo Cruiser picks up speed, center the joystick to slow down or stop.

conditions.

you can if it gets wet, or if you use water to clean it.
f. Make sure the battery area is kept dry

surface.

of your Geo Cruiser or fall
