engaged, and forward acceleration is stopped. The manual handbrake must be engaged to
come to a controlled stop. There are three power settings. Power setting 1 is the slowest
power setting. Power setting 3 is the fastest power setting.
NOTICE: If the thumb throttle is released while climbing an incline, the scooter
may “roll back.”
You must engage the manual brake lever to stop the scooter
from rolling back down the incline.
Cornering Information
Excessively high cornering speeds can still create the possibility of tipping. Factors which
affect the possibility of tipping include, but are not limited to cornering speed, steering
angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven surfaces, inclined surfaces, riding from an
area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from a tiled area to a
carpeted area
–
especially at high speed while turning), and abrupt directional changes.
High cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner,
reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your
scooter from tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable center
of gravity. Avoid shifting your weight in the opposite direction of the turn, which may
cause the scooter to lose traction and tip over
.
Stationary Obstacles (Steps, Curbs, etc.)
Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, unprotected curbs
and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches, stairs, etc.). Refer to the scooter specifications for
information regarding maximum obstacle climbing height for your scooter.
To navigate up over a curb or stationary obstacle:
1.
Approach the curb or obstacle slowly, and make sure the scooter is traveling
perpendicular to the obstacle.
See figure 4.
2.
Increase the forward speed just before the front wheel comes in contact with the
obstacle.
3. Reduce the forward speed only after the rear wheels have cleared the obstacle.
To navigate down a curb or stationary obstacle:
1. Approach the curb or obstacle slowly, and make sure the scooter is traveling
perpendicular to the obstacle.
See figure 4.
2. Reduce the forward speed just before the front wheel comes in contact with the
obstacle.
3.
Increase the forward speed only after the rear wheels have cleared the obstacle and
you are once again on a level surface.
