SAFETY
DRIVING ON AN INCLINE
For maximum stability, lean forward in your
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 potentially hazardous material.
Do not
back down an incline.
Try to keep your
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.

WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN A SLOPE, YOUR SCOOTER STARTS TO

YOUR
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

Whenever it is safely possible, drive forward down any ramp, low rise, or incline.
Golden Technologies Inc. does not recommend that you drive your scooter in reverse down any
