SPECIFICATIONS for your scooter's safe climbing angle.
◎
When climbing up to an inclined road, please set the speed dial higher than "5"and
drive carefully.
(See Figure 2.5)
◎
When going down an inclined road, set the speed dial to "1" and never use reverse.

◎
Do not make sudden turns when driving on gravel roads or ramps.
◎
The maximum surmountable obstacle height is 10cm for KS-838 and KS-848 scooters.
◎
Exceeding this obstacle height will damage your scooter and negate your warranty.
(See Figure 2.8)
◎
When negotiating an obstacle slow down, put your seat into the full upright position
and approach it head on (perpendicular).
◎
Just before the obstacle, speed up until the entire scooter has conquered the obstacle.
Negotiating an obstacle at an angle may cause your scooter to tip over. Don't do it!
