WARNING: TURNING TOO SHARPLY AROUND A CORNER CAN CAUSE THE SCOOTER
TO TIP. AVOID THIS DANGER AT ALL TIMES BY STEERING A WIDE ARC AROUND
CORNERS AND OBSTACLES. ALSO, TO AVOID THE RISK OF TIPPING, REDUCE SPEED
BEFORE NEGOTIATING ANY TURNS.

If you must steer in a tight spot, such as entering a doorway or when turning
around:
1. Bring your Buzzaround to a full stop.
2. Turn the speed control dial to the slowest setting
(Fully counter clockwise)
3. Turn the tiller to the direction in which you wish to drive.
4. Press gently on the appropriate thumb lever and slowly turn your
Buzzaround.

Note: Your Buzzaround speed in reverse is fifty percent of the maximum speed
set at the speed control dial.
