TYRE INFLATION
Your RZ1000 is equipped with pneumatic tyres. Check the tyre pressure at
least once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tyres
and help ensure the smooth operation of your RZ1000 .
WARNING! It is critically important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated
on each tyre is maintained at all times. Do not under-inflate or over-inflate
your tyres. Under-inflation may result in loss of control, and over-inflation may burst the
tyre. Failure to maintain the indicated pressure rating at all times may result in tyre and/or
wheel failure.
WARNING! Inflate your scooter tyres from a regulated air source with an attached
pressure gauge. Inflating your tyres from an unregulated air source could over-inflate
them, resulting in a burst tyre.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to
Specification sheet for details.
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity for your RZ1000 .
Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty. We will not be held
responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to
observe weight limitations. WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your
scooter. Carrying passengers on your RZ1000 may result in instability.
INCLINE INFORMATION
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination,
designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps may have turning
switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills
on your RZ1000 scooter.

Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or incline.

Take wide turns with your RZ1000 scooter around any tight corners. If you do that,
the scooter’s rear wheels will follow a wide arc. Do not cut the corner short, and do not
bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.

When driving down a ramp, keep the RZ1000 scooter’s speed adjustment set to
the slowest speed setting to ensure a safely controlled descent.

Avoid sudden stops and starts.

Refer to Figure to determine the maximum slope.
