Grass and Gravel
Your scooter performs admirably on grass, gravel and hills but you must follow
the operational parameters presented in this manual, see chapter 3. If you are
unsure about any situation avoid it.
Feel free to use your scooter on lawns or in park areas;
Avoid long or high grass, which may wrap around your scooter's axles;
Avoid loose gravel.
4.8 Going up an incline / down a decline
Driving on inclines
For maximum stability lean forward;
Drive with caution when attempting to drive up to any incline even handicap
access ramps;
Always climb or descend an incline by driving straight up or straight
down the face of the slope;
Do not traverse or drive across the face of an incline in any direction;
Do not attempt to descend an incline that is covered with snow, ice, cut
or wet grass, leaves, of any other potentially hazardous material;
Do not back down of an incline;
Try to keep your scooter moving when climbing on an incline. If you
have to stop, restart and accelerate slowly and carefully;
Do not try to descend or climb a slope which gradient is higher than
recommended. The recommended incline gradient is 6°.
Warning:
While you are driving down a slope and your scooter starts to move faster
than you feel is safe release the throttle control lever slowly. Which will
cause your scooter to decelerate. Keep the lever in the same position when
you feel that you are in the control of your scooter again.
