safely. Perform the following procedures prior to using your scooter:
• Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
• Check all connections to the battery box. Make sure they are secured properly.
• Check the brakes. See VIII “CARE AND MAINTENANCE”.
• Check the battery charge. See VII. “Batteries and charging”.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

INCLINE INFORMATION
Many 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 scooter. When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop to
start up again, you should accelerate slowly and cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by
setting the speed to the slowest position and pushing the forward throttle control lever. If your scooter
starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete
stop by releasing the throttle control lever. Then rotate down the speed adjustment knob and then push
the throttle control lever down slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
WARNING!
When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline. Drive your scooter
straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme
caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING!
Don’t drive up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e. Areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or
wet leaves.
WARNING!
Never drive down an incline backwards. This could cause personal injury.
