4. Control Over Grass & Gravel ETC.
Care must be taken when attempting to drive over soft surfaces such as those
found in parks etc. The surface may look level, but this can be deceiving and hidden
dangers may make your scooter become unstable or grounded. Avoid unkempt
grass, loose deep gravel or sand;
do not
exceed the capabilities of your scooter.
Always have an attendant to assist you in circumstances where you are not certain
of the terrain" Always anticipate and think safety.
DO NOT
DRIVE THROUGH DEEP WATER OR LEAVE YOUR SCOOTER
EXPOSED TO HEAVY RAIN
i.e. During or after a thunderstorm.
Do not
attempt to turn when negotiating an incline, only turn when all wheels are
fully on or off the incline; failure to observe this warning could result in the machine
becoming unstable and toppling over. Always lean forward when ascending an incline
and backwards when descending an incline. This will enable you to maintain good
stability and will eliminate any chance of a rear or forward upset.
PLEASE NOTE: The rear stability of your scooter is dependent on a number of
factors which you should consider before attempting to climb an incline or other
obstacle:
(a) Your height;
(b) The height of your seat;
(c) Your weight;
(d) The angle of the incline you are attempting to climb.
All of these factors can affect the rear stability of your scooter. If you are unsure of
your capability to climb an obstacle, then try another route.
Caution:
Because of the power of your scooter, you will be able to
climb inclines. But the maximum safe gradient limit is 6 degrees. The
reason for this is to ensure good stability.

Always have the anti-tipping wheels fitted to your
Scooter. They are an important part of your scooters
design and reduce the likely hood of backward tipping.
Always avoid where possible turning on slopes or
climbing curbstones. Always make certain that your
scooter is in full working order and your batteries are
fully charged before attempting to drive. Never attempt
to drive beyond the design capability of your scooter.
Observe weather conditions. Tires can slip on wet or icy
surfaces.
Always think 'safety first'.
