DRIVING ON AN INCLINE

• 

For maximum stability, lean forward in your Liteway

 seat while proceeding up ramps, slopes,

           curbs, or any low rise.  

• 

Drive with caution when attempting to negotiate any incline, even handicap access ramps.

• 

Always climb or descend a gradient by driving straight up or straight down the face of the

           slope.

• 

Do not traverse or drive across the face of a gradient.

• 

Do not attempt to negotiate an incline that is covered with snow, ice, cut or wet grass, leaves,

           or any other slippery material.

• 

Do not back down an incline.

• 

Try to keep your Liteway moving when climbing an incline.  If you do come to a stop, restart

           and accelerate slowly and carefully.

• 

Do not try to descend or climb a slope whose gradient is greater than recommended.  See

           Specifications section.  

 

 

 

 

WARNING:  IF, WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN A SLOPE, YOUR SCOOTER STARTS TO MOVE 

FASTER THAN YOU FEEL IS SAFE, RELEASE THE THUMB LEVER AND ALLOW YOUR LITEWAY 

TO COME TO A STOP.  WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU AGAIN HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR SCOOTER, 

PUSH THE THUMB LEVER FORWARD AND CONTINUE SAFELY DOWN THE REMAINDER OF 

THE SLOPE.

DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE

• 

Always

 drive forward down any ramp, low rise, or incline.

Golden Technologies, Inc. does not recommend that you drive your scooter in reverse down any 

incline, ramp, curb, or low rise.  Backing down any slope may create an unsafe situation.
