5.4 Driving up and down gradients
For information concerning the maximum safe slope, please see chapter "Technical
Specifications" starting on page 144 .
WARNING: Danger of tipping over!
•
Only ever drive downhill at a maximum of 2/3 of the top speed! Avoid sudden changes of
direction or abrupt braking when driving on slopes!
•
Always return the backrest of your seat or the seat tilt (if adjustable seat tilt is available) to an
upright position before ascending slopes! We recommend that you position the seat backrest
or the seat tilt slightly to the rear before descending slopes!
•
If the lifter (if installed) is raised drive mode is only used for positioning and not for regular
drive operation! Lower the lifter before ascending a slope!
•
Never attempt to ascend or descend a slope on slippery surfaces or where there is a danger
of skidding (such as wet pavement, ice etc)!
• Avoid trying to get out of the vehicle on an incline or a gradient!
•
Always drive straight in the direction the road or path you are on goes, rather than attempting
to zigzag!
•
Never attempt to turn around on an incline or a slope!
Braking distance is much longer on a downhill slope than on even terrain!
•
Never drive down a slope that exceeds the maximum tilt-resistant climbing ability!
