4.3.1
Going up an incline
When you want to go up an incline, always do so by going in a forwards direction. Make sure you have control when
negotiating the incline. This means not going up in the slowest speed setting, but with a controlled average speed.
Keep the scooter driving when going up an incline. Should you stop on an incline, restart and increase speed slowly.
When you stop and then restart, it is possible that the scooter first moves backward a little bit, before continuing in
a forward direction.
4.3.2
Going down an incline
When you want to go down an incline, always do so by going in a forwards direction. Additionally, you should always
drive in a straight line. To keep control of your scooter it is important to not travel too fast. You can control your
speed by the amount of tension you put on the levers.
4.4
Steering
The most important action on a scooter is steering. Below is described how to best do this in different situations.
You should always keep both hands on the handlebar to steer left or right. Van Os Medical recommends you
assume a driving posture with slightly bent arms. This provides more driving comfort. When you are about to take a
turn, always decrease your speed. This prevents the risk of falling over with your scooter.
4.4.1 Steering in different situations
Your scooter is developed to increase mobility. When driving, you will encounter different situations. To be able to
steer well in these situations, below we have described a few situations and how to best handle them. By following
the steps below, you prevent dangerous situations from occurring.
Warning
Never go up or down an incline that is covered with snow, ice, recently mowed or wet grass, leaves or other possibly
dangerous material.
Warning
If your scooter starts going faster than you want to when going down an incline, slowly release the gas lever. By
feeding less power the scooter will automatically brake, causing the scooter to slow down. When you feel you have
regained control of the scooter, keep the lever in this position.
