Driving up obstacles
•
Drive straight up to the curb or obstacle, almost touching it with your front
wheel.
•
Push the forward/reverse lever and drive onto the sidewalk without changing
direction.
•
As soon as the front wheel is on the sidewalk, you need to keep up your
speed for the back wheels to be able to move up onto the sidewalk as well.
-
If you cannot drive up onto the sidewalk, find a lower part that is less
steep where you can.
-
Any obstacle should be taken in forward direction.
- It is always recommended to use properly-designed sidewalk
transitions instead of driving over curbs.
-
Do not drive over obstacles great than 3”.
Practice taking slightly elevated obstacles, and then gradually
increase the elevation of the obstacles, until you can take the
maximum height. Take your time for this.
